Alloitsjosh has White Market listings for SYT-5 bodies at a good price, and I got a Dachmann capsule from him he says he uses in all his u87s. So 3U presumably.
Has anyone here bought a capsule from Braingasm Labs?

Braingasm Labs - bloody infantile name for a company. More and more people in this world stuck around age 12.

I agree - it's a lot more mature to insult people over the names they choose for their companies.
No, Josh is Dachman Audio.
Oh, apologies!

Braingasm is is a term related to the ASMR world, because I started designing binaural devices in 2010.
It relates to psychoacoustics, describing a peculiar fact, when you have goosebumps listening to a beautiful sound.
Ok the other hand, diffuse infantilism and arrogance are the reason why I stay away from the audio forums.

How do the 3U M7's Match up to the Thiersch Blueline or the Arienne Flat 47 ? I have a Blackspade um17 with the thiersch blueline and a Arienne flat 47 waiting to go into something. also Have a Stam U47 arriving so would be interested to know anyones thoughts .....
perhaps not the right thread but how much money you looking to spend? the 3u m7 has the most accurate m7 plate on the market right now, by a margin, but i've heard from multiple people it's held back by skinning technique issues. skinning m7s consistently is kind of hard. if you're willing to spend extra money, having the 3u reskinned by drefahl results in probably the best m7 available right now. the other boutique m7s are dotted around variously. the flat k47 sounds a lot like a berlin m7 on axis, but the pickup is different because of the various anatomical differences. it does sound pretty good in a u47 basket though. it all depends on your budget, really.

Hi Soliloqueen not worried about the budget just looking for the best capsule options for the Stam u47.... Not sure of the version of the Stam is coming so May not have the Braingasm / 3u capsule in.... it does advertise this capsule but I have my doubts this will have to be confirmed when it arrives.( I believe he used the D7 before the Braingasm) not sure. I just want to get the best out of the Mic be it with a 47 or M7 Capsule (to my taste). I will be doing shootouts with the Blue line, flat 47 and the one which is already in the Stam.... may have to get your other 47 Capsule to compare. Your Flat 47 does sound really good in a modded U47 style my brother has. The mic will predominately if not exclusively be used for Vocals as I have many others in the locker to do the rest. Thanks for your reply

It’s best to test these things yourself, it is far more valuable to have the first hand experience.
The Thiersch is exceedingly close to the Neumann. It’s a very stable product with less issues in the field than even the Gefell PVC has had. Thiersch is one of the only companies on the planet if not THE only company that isn’t making Neumann type capsules from reverse engineering and guesstimates.
It is maybe worth noting that Gefell and Berlin M7 have always had slightly different backplate construction and that Thiersch is based on the Gefell.
Don’t discount the redline though either, it compares extremely well to a good k47/49, almost shockingly so. It is probably the best LDC capsule that is readily available for DIY and repair work, in sound, consistency, and build quality.

Thanks George
I really like the Blue and Put it in my Blackspade after advice and the fact BSA now predominately use blue line (but do offer others) but every time I listen to a shootout like the panphonic that red line some how seems more 3D (only thing I can say to describe it) than the blue line and maybe the fact of the Bigger head basket of the 47 it may well be the way to go and the Blue is maybe better in the Blackspade um17 smaller head basket ??..... looks like I am now buying the red line and maybe a 3U and getting it re-skinned by drefahl and buying Arienne's K47 then shooting out Blue, Red, 3U re-skinned, both Arienne 47's and the D7 if it is the one that comes in the Stam ....... it's going to be fun and I guess the results will be just what I like to my ears plus some mic builder may get a few capsules a bit cheaper on ebay as a result!!!
I must be mad but hey it will be interesting have a great Christmas all
