if the chinese copies are back engineered, exact copies to what i would imagine to be extremely close tolerences and made on a high quality cnc,why dont they sound the same as the neumann or akg mic capsules they are copying? what are the chinese imports missing? i'm curious because i'm toying with the idea of having some capsules made. i have a machinist friend.i can tell he is obsessed with making his work the best it can be. he has worked by hand in the past.(he makes parts for miniature models and dummies for movies)he and his partner recently purchased what he called the" top of the line cnc machine" $30,000 US. my thought was to use the m7 specs dale has provided here:

to have some backplates and capsule parts made up. then send them out to be "skinned". what can i do so my capsules will sound like or more like the original M7 than a cheap copy? i've read every thread in the mics forum. any other advice is appreciated. thanks.
