Not to be nit-picking or argumentative, but...
We post endlessly about being able to hear minute differences in converters, mic's, and preamps, but some of you are willing trust you recordings to a homemade jecklin disc with "trial-and-error" materials that could negatively affect your results, not to mention negatively affect your opinion of the technique.
I'm also not keen on the idea of hoisting close to $4000 worth of Schoeps atop a mic stand, strapped to something that looks like a reject from a church craft fair. A jecklin disc does tend to elicit questions, and I'd prefer not answering the one that asks "why does it look like a fuzzy toilet bowl cover." There is something to be said about a professional appearance.
Considering the totals most of us have spent on equipment, purchasing a manufactured disc shouldn't be that much of a stretch. Yes, I agree that DIY is sometimes a valid approach for experimenting, but a jecklin disc is an established, standard technique... you either want one or not.
Thanks... I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
