Cm25 is okish i guess

Is the stock CM25 any good, or would be better (or even possible) to change the capsule out (without buying a new PCB for the inside of the mic)?

Check out this
And the preamp, you can buy solo (you should try buying 2i2, you might regret later but again it depends on what you need)

I actually nearly forgot why it was named the ‘solo’

. I think it’ll be fine for now though.
Additionally, I won’t have to bother with a custom PCB for the CM25?

Would you recommend the capsule used in the video/34mm LDCs in general? The comments seem to be mixed on it; is it better to go with the 25mm capsule linked earlier? I’ve also read that https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003678248617.html is decent too.

Seems like jli shipping cost is getting in your way, in that case, 2555b capsule will work just fine but aliexpress is like hit or miss.

The JLI-3412 shown in the video is considerably better than the 2555.
