I just wanted to say that I'm so grateful for all that I have learned over the past couple years just by visiting GroupDIY and asking questions. Most people were very helpful and this led me to finding a new hobby which I'm also grateful for! After many different projects I finally made my first point to point D-47 microphone based on the schematic of the D-47 thread. I'm using a FAB BV8 transformer, a Theirsch STW7 Blueline capsule and a randomly selected Telefunken EF800 (which I will soon replace). Enjoy the porn
