the parts have been ordered...once they arrive i'll post the results (assuming i don't screw it up). thanks again for all the help.

thanks so much, PhilGood. i appreciate you sharing your knowledge. this post might go dead for a bit, i have to place the order and perform the mod...but i'll post before-and-after files when it's all done.

no sweat, rmaier...you've been so much help already. if someone (Philgood? anyone else?) can confidently identify those caps as the ones to change, i'll jump in and post my results.

oh, and can anyone else confirm that the LD-None is indeed the same thing as the 435? i'm going to move forward on this mod, but i'm forgetting that all of this is based on the 435 circuit, which could be difference... is there anyway to confirm that those are the caps in the audio path on the...

but those metal film caps will work, correct? (as far as value and size and stuff, i don't know too much about this!) (thanks so much for your help)

very interesting...it does look very similar. assuming they are the same, i should replace: C3, C4, C15, C16, and C17. is C15 the "gate" cap on the back of the PCB? i haven't taken it apart yet. applying some advice from Gus's 603 mod...

i've been reading on HR, GS, and PP about cap replacement on chinese microphones, and i'd like to give it a go. i have a transformerless PPA LD-None. one of the most popular suggestions is to change the capsule/gate capacitor (the one on the back of the singer-side board) to a 1000pf...

all mics went through SCA T15 pres, and into a BLA modified MOTU 828mkII. no EQ or compression. Floor Tom - SM57: http://www.thebrotherkite.com/stuff/floor_tom_sm57.aif Floor Tom - RE20: http://www.thebrotherkite.com/stuff/floor_tom_re20.aif Floor Tom - Beta 52...

it's certainly a nice mic...but i ran into a good price for a pair of Peluso CEMC6s. so i don't think i need 81s anymore. and they have such a good resale value ($270 on ebay without a case, still 4 hours to go), i couldn't resist replenishing the space in my bank account that the Pelusos created.

i didn't get any bites at $235, so i doubt anyone is interested in $270+. but just in case, there is a couple hours left: http://cgi.ebay.com/Shure-SM81-Condenser-Microphone-SM-81_W0QQitemZ330205232005QQihZ014QQcategoryZ133014QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
