Im thinking of modding this vienna it sounds good as is but doesnt blow me away ....others are raving about it I have an Oktava MK012 with MK101 head (same capsule as 219/319) I also have a home made MK012 with upgrades and so on & another home made 012 with superdooper J305 FET....to compare it to....
Im very imprest with the MK101 capsule & the 012 circuit stock & modded....I also have a Violet Vin67 lollypop head it was what I call expensive 450 pounds & is meant to sound like a U67.....sadly not got 1 to compare it to, however I like the sound of it on the MK012 circuits....to me no better or worse than the MK101 capsule
The Vienna again sounds to me no better or no worse than all of these mics.....So I was thinking of trying a expensive Sowter mic transformer I have....a 9045 about 70 pounds I think it costs, I havent played with any solid state transformer mics.....Im bit worried about connecting my expensive Sowter to the Vienna with phantom power
any guidance would be good
