Default Best Source For Microphone Reviews

As I get into home recording, I'm starting to plan for upgrade paths for my recording equipment. To do this I read reviews on various equipment which often vary widely. Do any of you more experienced people have an opinion on the best/most accurate sources for equipment reviews?

To be specific, I currently have a Studio Projects B-1 going into a Presonsus Eureka pre and presonus firebox. I'm looking to upgrade my microphone, especially for voice. I'd like to start educating myself on the best options.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Be aware of Marketing's attempt to sell you the idea of a false middle.

Prepare to sepnd 10-20 times what you spent on that mic in order to get any giant improvements.

Most of the measurable gains that you would get from moving to the middle (3-5 times what you paid) can be made for a few dollars in parts to your existing mics

Now if you are looking for different functions, there often is something to be gained by moving towards the middle, like say more polar patterns
