I have a Tascam DR-05 recorder. I am primarily interested in recording bird=
s but also want to record mammals, and to be able to conduct interviews. I =
have a limited budget, so something used would be preferable. What do you a=
ll recommend?

I was going to suggest a used Sennheiser MKH 416, but the phantom (P48) ver=
sion is selling on eBay around $800. There was an MKH 416T, the obsolete T-=
power one, for $500, but you'd have to add a $150 power supply to that.

Which goes to show that the best microphones are a good investment; quality=
-wise they put your money where it counts, and they keep their value.
