Getting a kit is the easiest place to start, since you'll familiarize yourself with all practical aspects of the build - except the circuit itself. Micparts kits are great for that, since their documentation is excellent and you won't have to worry about sourcing parts and components, and end up with a decent mic. They're also the perfect gateway drug.Getting Dany's D87 PCB, Arienne's K87, Moby's Bv.13 and sourcing everything else yourself is a better way to go if you want a mic that can hold its own next to the real thing. This is of course a more involved endeavor, and still won't teach you much about the circuit. But it'll be more fun than the kit.As for where to source the other parts - only the body will require some searching, the components are all easily obtainable for an 87 build.As you'll see, most of the parts I've listed come from outside the EU, only Moby's transformers are made here. That's just the current state of affairs.
