Pro tip: I chose a $40 RadioShack mic from a flea market over a $300 condenser for our 1997 garage demos, and the hiss is still there

That cheap dynamic mic had this gritty midrange that actually cut through our drummer's wall of cymbals in a way the fancy one never did, so I kept it, but I'm curious if anyone else here picked the cheap gear over the good stuff and stuck with it.
