Jesse, a loyal AGD reader, sent in this great deal for a Shure KSM27 large diaphragm condenser mic for only $199.97. The mic has been reduced by $100 and you will only be able to find it for a massive .97 cents cheaper at Musician's Friend. However, our research has shown that every where else, the mic is still going for $299. It comes down to who you prefer to buy from at this as they both great warranties and free shipping, so I'm including both links. For the tax conscious, Musician's Friend is based in Medford, Oregon and Sweetwater in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Thanks, Jesse!
