If so, interpret this as not-too-expensive) microphones. I am currently using a single unit "stereo" mike from Radio Shack (10 yrs old), but sound quality from it is less than adequate for live recording of piano and flute music. I have searched Consumer reports, Stereo Review, and other publications, but they talk about receivers, speakers, CDs, and other sound producing equipment, but not sound recording equipment. (Excuse me. Exclude turntables and tape decks.) I would appreciate your advises on: 1. What to look for 2. Who sells them (most stereo shops carry expensive receivers, speakers, etc., but cheap microphones.) 3. Brands & ratings 4. Approximate costs (real costs, i.e., not the list price) By the way, I am an ordinary music lover who occasionally would like to record my own music, so I do not need $1,000 device.
