I like a lot of your choices you put in the video. The TLM 103 is my favorite Value mic. I like that you said not everybody loves the u87. I try to use it many times and it never makes the final cut. The sony c800g is a beast on rap....but I dont want to pay that much for a mic. So my best want-a- be c800g is the Slate emulation of it. The slate also does a hell of a job emulating the 251 and u67 too and at a street price of $499 hard to beat. I know a lot of people going to list the u47, but it only sounds good on a certain kind of voice. I like mics that make most everybody sound good on.

I actually own a Tfunk 251. I felt like the C800G sound is not super unique and I could use a lot of different mics for that kind of sound. You can't really do that as easily with a 251 sound. You can get a Manley, Cm800t, etc. and get that modern bright sound that you'd use a Sony for. You're not really going to be able to just grab another mic and EQ the sound of a 251 into it like you can with a Sony. That's an oversimplification, but those that know engineering know what I mean.

If you want to get a sense of what the Shure SM7 sounds like on vocals, the multitracks for various songs from Thriller have, ahem, found their way onto the Internet. I don't actually think the dry vocals sound great, but that just goes to show what you can achieve with a great singer, a great producer, a great engineer, and a cheap microphone. My current microphone for vocals is a Shure KSM27, which I think sounds pretty great. I am hoping to upgrade to a Neumann TLM 103 this year. (Billie Eilish also uses this mic).
