Try changing the tube to a 6072 and you will notice some difference. You also might have a 460 with an out of spec capsule. Also change the coupling capacitor that drives the output transformer with a 2.2ufd/400v.
I just fitted one with a PELUSO capsules and WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CAPSULE MAKES!!!! I have the proper Cinemag transformers arriving next week but I would bet the cost of the PELSUO that it makes a bigger difference in the sound than the output transformer but the Cinemag will just add a bit more dimension I am sure.

If you're modding this beast I would recommend going all-out for a Gyraf G7 conversion. The PSU will work stock and the circuitry is very similar, you'd just have to make a few modifications. Swap the tranny for something decent and stick a Peluso CK12 capsule in there and you've got a mic that will REALLY compete with the big boys for a few hundred bucks. I'm planning on doing this in a month or so. |
