Here is my Gyraf G7, the IKEA version.
Bodytube is IKEA Vika Curry leg. The topbase where I mounted the capsule is the foot of the curry-leg. The pcb is mounted on IKEA Metrik kitchen-handle.
The body is painted with a "neumannish" silver/gold metallic car-laquer. I am using AKG ck-12 capsule, Lundahl trafo and NOS Siemens tube.
Had some troubles with hum and hiss but after calibrating the heater voltage it is now fine.
I have one question though. How much can one expect noise-wise from this project? My G7 is pretty quiet, but my Neumann TLM 103 and my Peluso 2247LE is defenetly quieter. I had to tweak my trimpot in the PSU for the best noise-ratio but I could not get it totally quiet.
Lovely project nevertheless!!!
