Bjork uses MD's :lol:. Ive tried this with a sony one a few times and some Rhode NT1's (I think they were NT1's or NT3's, not too sure). Worked fine for me, see if theres anywhere you can hire portable DAT's out. I know I just go to my uni and take them over night. I personally would use a MD coz they arnt that expensive. Couple of nice mic's tho :!:
