I have a small question needing a concise answer.
I like upgrading my mics, and often swap out components on the cheaper ones to see what improvements I can get. I have done all the capacitor upgrades from Gus on my MXL 2003's and recently discovered that I like the sound of the capsule from an M-Audio Nova in the 2003 rather than the stock capsule. The stock capsule is a great capsule (Same one as in the V77) and works incredibly well in other tube mics I have built. The M-Audio capsule sounds much fuller and has less harshness in the high end when paired with the 2003's electronics. It actually doesn't sound so good with the Nova's electronics, but seems like a perfect combo in the 2003.
So...I have been wondering if there may be an improvement by upgrading the FET's, if there is such a thing.
Will it change the sound at all?
Any suggestions?
