Hi guys,
This week I finished modding my MXL 603.
Now it's 603T .

Guts: russian tube 6S6B, custom made transformer with 8:1 ratio, point-to-point montage, few caps and resistors. Very simple and nice sounding mike!
Just tried at the local studio. We've made some tests side by side with AKG 451, Neumann 87 and Oktava MK 012. Yeah, there is some lack of bass response (I think it's capsule or maybe transformer). Mids and highs ... I never heard such bright response (in positive sense). Just subjective impressions.
Will post circuit asap.
The questions how to force the iron in this mike are welcome
