of course it's not about what "in" but about what suits your working method best. The've mentioned working with incredibly expensive microphones at Abbey Road, but at the same time, the vocals for Jal To Tokyo were recorded with a macbook's built-in mic. So it's hard to say what type of equipment they used for which particular sound. It's all about experimentation. Sometimes the oldest most broken down piece of gear may just give you "that" sound that you're after.
