So when the group buy mics come in, who here plans to mod their mics? Any detailed plans yet?
Here's my list:
Ribbons:
keep as-is or upgrade to Lundahl transformers. Depends on how much the thinner ribbon opens up the high end on its own.
Tube SDCs:
1. Possibly a tube swap (depending on how heinous the tube is), but otherwise, I don't expect to mod them.
2. Maybe swap out the coupling capacitor (if there is one), depending on what sort of part they used.
Tube LDCs: Lots of stuff:
1. Redesign the headbasket so that it is held in by a single screw from the side instead of two screws from inside the mic body.
2. Put a connector inline in the capsule wiring.
3. Wire up a couple of different capsules (Peluso) with inline connectors.
4. Rework the circuit as a cathode follower if it isn't already.
That last one is likely to be a pain in the backside, so if it needs to be done, I may never get around to it.
