Avantone CR-14 Ribbon

Tonight I finally got to use the Avantone on some tracks. Lead female vocals and backing vocals. I used it with an ADK TT tube mic both through an ISA 428 mic preamp into Pro Tools. The outs on the pres were sent through the line ins on the Soundcraft so I could add some verb for the vibe for her vocal parts without printing the verbs.

Need a new vocal mic under 500. Any suggestions? Avantone CV-12? SM7b?

I am looking for a new vocal mic. I currently have a RODE ntk but not crazy about it. Seems a little to harsh. Any suggestions for under 500 dollars?
(style is similar to coldplay/u2 stuff.)

I was considering the Shure SM7B or avantone cv-12. Any other suggestions or thoughts?

thanks

Avantone CU-2?

I know, I know, you supposedly CANT get quality recordings out of USB microphones.

BUT, I have heard AMAZING things about this microphone, and its abilities as a USB microphone as far as quality goes; comparable to non-USB mics well above its price range of only $199.

Supposedly you can record at a lot higher of a quality level than ever before through a USB microphone.
