Now I also have an instrument I'm proud of!
Audix OM7 is purely awesome, I've bought it two months ago, and still am fascinated with it. My old battered Shure SM48 (pictured below) has served me faithfully for five years, doing a decent job, but Audix is just a miracle, especially for clean singing. All of a sudden my voice started sounding much clearer, more focused and distinctive in the mix without becoming actually louder.
I'll need me a decent mic someday, too.
