Hey Max, your mic body is looking awesome! i finished your mk47, i can't thank you enough, it sounds incredible, i used a gt2B donor, but the mic sounds so fantastic, it's a sin not housing her in a swimsuit body! i want to be put on what ever list is necessary to buy one of your forthcoming 47 bodies

thanx

Hi Max,

This looks incredible! I'm just about to build my 1st microphone and would be very interested by a 47. I think I'll wait some sort of kit of your PCB, transformer, parts and body!!!
Keep going man, your project looks amazing.

Best,

Ben

This one will be point-to-point, so no PCB.
Well, it's not forbidden, of course.

Ah ok... P2P sounds cool to me ! Could be fun.

Wow!! I'm so subscribing to this thread

Hey Max,
I'm really interested in one of your kits when it's ready - put me on the list - looks like an amazing project

Can you share some more details on the twin-tube design as a replacement for one VF14?
Sorry if that has been answered elsewhere before - I couldn't find it...

And for those of you hoarding the vf14 tubes: Plug and play with either the original telefunken or my vf14r version (prototype shown).

EvLoutonian · Jun 24, 2013

Bring it on.

Dr Gris · Jun 24, 2013

Aha!!
That answers my question in reply#50 in this thread.
I felt you had something going on. Fantastic!!
