Ok I have a Beesneez K7 on the way, and I need a mic to put the capsule in! This is my first mic build. Originally when I bought the K7, I was planning to build a 47FET, but cheap bodies are currently out of stock. So, I am 90% sure I am going to build an alternate tube U47, using AMI's schematic, which was my very first DiY plan anyway. I wont need to build the PSU or cable, and will have the mic body and transformer, and capsule. I am going to purchase a Telefunken EF800.
What I need help with is selecting the most "authentic" parts for the circuit. This is the schematic for those not familiar: http://www.tab-funkenwerk.com/id85.html
Can anyone provide any advice on what types of parts I should get? For example, styroflex or polypropylene. I am a noob when it comes to building, and I am no expert on the history of the U47, so I don't know what parts material-wise were originally in the circuit. I know clearly my diy U47 will not be exactly like a vintage U47, since I'm not using a Neumann capsule, Neumann transformer, or VF-14, but I'd like to get as close as possible. Even if the circuit parts don't affect the sound as much as these other components, I'd like to be as "authentic" as possible, even if it's just for fun. That's why I'm asking. Thanks!
