I read your post but did not reply at first because who would want a transformer-less c460b?

Ask Jim Williams at Audio Upgrades what he thinks...

Everyone who wants faster transient response.
The mod contains also part upgrades. Bipolar transistor, opamp, film caps.

I don't care what Jim Williams thinks.

Sometimes you might want imperfections.

Why would you give up the benefits of a transformer in a microphone?

That's why i only have modded 4 of my 11 C460B's  (so far)

Gus,

If you can't afford Schoeps or B&K... then you mod your 460

But if you have 11, you'd be nuts to do them all,... at first

Hello, do you know what LT chip Audio Upgrades used as a replacement for the tl062 in the AKG C460b ? Or what would be your recommandation ?

There's probably a middle ground between slow op amp + transformer and fast op amp + transformerless.

Thanks.
