    Does it matter when replacing foam?

    I am a big fan of the EV 308/408/468 style mics. A few of my 308's have rotting/dirty foam around the capsule. Does it really matter if I place new foam around the capsule or simply place foam inside the grill instead ? Reason I'm asking is that it looks like a standard ball screen shortened...

    DIY windscreens

    Gentlemen (and others) I find myself in need of several LDC windscreens and have an idea. Since SM58-type windscreens can be found so inexpensively, would this work : Take one screen and cut the top off forming a ring (of sorts) slide that portion to the bottom of the capsule basket and then...

    ART MPA mods

    I just picked up one of the original USA made MPA's. Got a pleasant surprise when I opened it up and found it was equipped with Yugoslavian EI ecc83 tubes. Wondering if anyone has ever looked into modding these units and if a benefit was achieved.
