Here is the History: (And I am Sure Scott will correct me if I miss something)
Scott hand built mics with this name and a simplified circuit. He named it this because he took photos of it initially?for his ?and felt the initial?ones kinda looked like they were miniaturized and in "Wonderland". I actually added in the bias Pot and published it in my Modify a Cheap?Chinese?Mic Instructable. I coined the term "Pimped Alice". I added it to help bias the FET without hand selecting resistors. Homero designed?and laid out the PCB and was selling them on ebay. He deserves a huge amount of credit for that and the OPA Alice PCB's. Thank you Homero!? I kind of adopted?the name and asked Scott if he minded me naming?my Ambisonic DIY mic the "AmbiAlice"? and for the OPA circuit to be the "OPA-Alice"
Scott Helmke deserves credit for the initial?name. The community here helped it grow and become what it is.?

I think the name Alice (in microphones) was created by Scott Helmke. If I remember correctly, it was based on 16mm capsule and a FET circuit. Now I see "Alice" all over in the mic DIY communities.? Homero Leal calls his "Pimped Alice". Jules Ryckebusch calls his "OPA based Alice".
