| Nice Matti! Is that an M7 I spy in there? G7 build inside a swedish house perhaps? Funny if it is. Just building G7 with M7 inside Nady 1050 (very similar). New longer body though.

| Ah, Dale's one aswell. Mine is awaiting mounting in the next week or so. New circuit then, or upgraded TC1? Happy? |

| Just upgraded and trying to find a good transformer, propably BV314. At Prodigys someone is offering "BV8" type things really cheap, but it seems to be somewhat confusing with that one I´ve 2 dale capsules, the darker voiced in this mic. matti |

| BV314 would no doubt be sweet, abeit not for free. I saw the BV8 thing on prodigy. Smells a bit suspect to me for some reason. Putting a Sowter 3678 in my G7. Has 3 impedance choices, so will give options before settling on 'the sound'. Tip from Dale, as it goes. Don't know which M7 I have. Awaiting two of his C800G/C37 style capsules to put into a couple of upgraded MXL990's. Should be interesting. Boris |

| About £40. Seems like a good option, with 3 possible sound choices. It's 1:5. Don't know if that will be happy in your mic. |

| I assume this would need around 1:8 to 1:10, lets see. Then there is the usual Cinemag 2480 ( ? ) Matti |

| You might get less choices (i.e one...) then, but it should work. With the 3 impedances it can be 1:3, 1:5 or 1:9. |

| Actually probably still not totally ideal (depending on your pre's), as at 1:9 you'd get 60 Ohms output. |

| Remember, it would be reversed in your mic. Still only get 60 Ohms though, but you never now, might sound great.... |
