for VALUE mics i like audio technicas. good bang for the buck.
HOWEVER. you'd still need an XLR to miniplug adapter, which is the reason why i recommended the USB mics directly. lowest cost and he can use the computer (he's got computer no?)
hip priest, how fixed are you within the bounds of your budget?
also, you can convert your vinyls through the usb interface directly into your computer, no need for ipod/flash/etc.
anyway maybe i'm too money-minded when it comes to these purchases but i hate nothing worse than being broke after a shopping binge.
hip priest: you have to look at the TOTAL cost and how much you're really willing to spend, sure the more money you spend the more "options" you get but there's a point where it becomes impractical, and there are ways to optimize & make your money go a long way.
if money is not an issue then i'd recommend a fostex field recorder a shotgun sennheiser mic and a studio mic, maybe some lavaliers, plus solid state media; but then you're talking about maybe 1,500 pounds.

To start with, I don;t want to go above £100, although that amount itself is no problem. I have a basic flash drive (128mb), but I can get a bigger one, and I can certainly buy other accessories at some point soon.
I can see that the fostex stuff looks imppressive, but at the moment I'm happy with some thing basic. I can go a bit more professional at a later date if I get into it enough.
