Experience with this CK12 capsule

[Potato Cakes]

Hello, everyone,

Does anyone have experience with this particular CK12 style capsule?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...scene:pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller|query_from:

I am wanting to complete a D251 build with some boards I have had sitting around for years. I got the boards build and have the parts to complete the PSU and now I'm just lacking a capsule. Not particularly looking to spend the money for a very nice capsule for this particular build, but something that still sounds good with making comparisons to "originals."

Thanks!

Paul

There is a thread here were a member, I think it was @kingkorg, said that it was not worth the price and sounded not at all like an “original”.
I’ll try to find it. Or Kingkorg chimes in before and can tell you more.

Edit: found the thread. I think this is about the same capsule.

Thanks for the link. I was reading the previous thread where it got locked so I didn't get the answer to my question.

Thanks!

Notice to those who find this thread and would like to skip to the ending on the search for answers to the above question: If you wish to build a C12, 251, or any mic that originally used at CK12 capsule, prepare to spend $400+ for the capsule if you want it to sound in the realm of what could be considered "like a real one." There are no shortcuts to building this particular component and still achieving an equivalent result. This was my suspicion all along but I had some hope that a less expensive option would get close enough.

Thanks!

Paul
