[Harp-L] Getting a Good CR/CM Element

[GLENN and DEBBIE WOODHOUSE <gwoodhouse40@xxxxxxx>]

Recently I assembled my first attempt at a harp mic.  I found a good deal on a chopped Turner shell, bought a $50 Shure CM element on e-bay, got the right gasket and put her together.  I was pretty happy with the result.  This has quickly become my favorite mic over my 520DX with its cheapo dynamic element and my MicroVox finger mic (my previous favorite).  The result got me thinking if this CM sounded this good what would a hot higher dollar CR/CM do for me.
 
So, I'm willing to make the investment but would prefer not to make the "leap-of-faith" on E-Bay or with somebody I don't know.
 
I am looking for input from the group on reputable suppliers of quality premium elements.
 
Thanks, Glenn Woodhouse.
