Has anyone here bought a capsule from Braingasm Labs?

[living sounds]

I have tried to contact him via various channels but didn't get an answer. I've read that he does sell capsules separately though. Did anyone here have more luck?

I was kind of curious about this too. Apparently, Stam is using their capsules now.

Exactly. And Braingasm has some interesting stuff on their website.

Braingasm is using stock 3U capsules with rebrand on them.

Before you ask how do i know, check the pattern of the holes on their k87 on their Instagram profile. 3U is the only company making capsules with this pattern. The rest is obvious. Wires, screws, materials, tension rings, copper spacers...

Stam is also 3U.

They do look like 3u capsules. Making capsules is a big deal. If Braingasm actually fabricated or even skinned their own, you'd think they'd be savvy enough to mention that on their site.

Thanks guys! I already emailed 3U earlier today. If I can't get it from them, is there anyone else that would supply it? Dachman? Anyone in the EU?

Dachman supplies the same capsules yes. I'll send you a PM too

Does Dachman specificy what they carry? Cause there are dark K67s (hence Maiku's darker K67) and standard bright ones, then they also have the "bright" "CK12s", then the slightly darker (presence boost of 3.5 to 4dB) "CK12s" (which also explains Maiku's darker edge terminated ones if they do use 3U as I've heard).

Not AFAIK. You could email josh

Yes, Soliloqueen is correct. My capsules are sourced direct from 3U. I am happy to support the GroupDIY community by offering an unadvertised discount. Just PM me if you need something. I do not have the "dark" versions.

 

[kingkorg]

@alloitsjosh hats down for transparency, I personally appreciate it a lot. Thank you.

 

[alloitsjosh]

Thank you @kingkorg. GroupDIY was a big part of how I got started on this journey. I will always do my best to be open and support however I can. If I can't divulge a source in the future for business reasons, I will just say that I can't share that info, but I imagine that will be far and few between. For things like capsules, transformers, or components that temporarily go out stock elsewhere, I am more than happy to help wherever I can. As mentioned above, I'm happy to offer GroupDIY members discounted pricing. In the end, the core of my business are the full DIY kits and I think most GroupDIY folks enjoy the process of pulling together the various components for a build themselves rather than an all-in-one kit like I offer, perhaps unless you're brand new to the DIY life.

Sorry if I've temporarily hijacked the thread. Thanks everyone.

Is the K47 you have the Warbler MKIID one? Also agreed with the others, transparency is good and I'm more likely to buy from an honest seller of parts.

I'd absolutely be down to get a kit that's a fair price. It's kits that cost $500 for a $30 Chinese capsule and $50 of electronics that I personally have an issue with.

Is this really true? Or speculation?

I'm not sure exactly which part, but above you have the Braingasm owner confirming this, and Stam-3U relation is at this point common knowledge.

Which user is the Braingasm owner?

 

[ghiatorino]

I am, please to meet you guys.
Feel free to ask
Teo

 

[kingkorg]

Yup I kind of mixed up things, I thought Josh was the owner, I guess not, but clearly he's involved.

 

[ghiatorino]

I believe a big misunderstanding is going on here, and even it's an old thread I'd like to clarify.
I don't know who @alloitsjosh is, and I am the only owner of Braingasm Lab, a one-man company based in Rome, Italy, since 2010.
My microphones are original designs, and I have used several capsules during the years.
I actually use 3U backplates for all of my products, and I am behind the development of some of the 3U capsules since 2018

 

[OneRoomStudio]

I think maybe @alloitsjosh is Joshua van der Stam....of Stam Audio?
EDIT: @alloitsjosh is Dachman Audio

Hi, Teo, good to meet you, and thank you for clearing things up.
