I am almost finished with school and about to start recording again. I have a Behringer B-5 condenser mic and was considering an upgrade. It would be used to mic amps and vocals. Can I get a better mic for under $100?

No personal experience, but I've heard good things around the Web about the $99 MXL V67G as a pretty good budget large-diaphragm condenser.

i remember Frugal used one to record his ac4tv demo in another thread and I liked the tones. of course it involves more than a mic.

Yeah, those are just fine. I've had no experience with Berhinger mics so not sure if it's an upgrade or not but I know you can sometimes get those MXLs in pairs for a good deal, like a LDC and SDC.
