I was talking to Migs about the KM84ish he mentioned in this thread and got super interested in it, I love my KM184 and never built a pencil condenser before. He suggested me creating a topic about it since more peeps could also benefit from the information he gathered and are willing to share, but I'm not sure how to create a topic either (argh), could someone shed some light on this?
I used the NEUTRIK NTE10-3 in U87 copies, tube and IC based pre-amps (wired the "other way around"). But the most successful build so far is in the Cascode Fet Mic, that we discussed briefly in your "cascode in schoeps"?#33012???thread. That circuit, I'm still trying to fine tune. After trying a couple of transfos, the NEUTRIK, seemed to suit the circuit better.
Someone on GDIY mentioned they are actually made by PiKATRON. But no solid proof, might just be tech. myth talk (or B.S.)? Or maybe not? I'm tempted to try the canned version from NEUTRIK on Tube Pre-Amps etc. Bit more expensive though & bigger.
