Hi Max,

This looks incredible! I'm just about to build my 1st microphone and would be very interested by a 47. I think I'll wait some sort of kit of your PCB, transformer, parts and body!!!
Keep going man, your project looks amazing.

Best,

Ben

This one will be point-to-point, so no PCB.
Well, it's not forbidden, of course.

Ah ok... P2P sounds cool to me ! Could be fun.

Hey Max,
I'm really interested in one of your kits when it's ready - put me on the list - looks like an amazing project

Can you share some more details on the twin-tube design as a replacement for one VF14?
Sorry if that has been answered elsewhere before - I couldn't find it...

Ok so I have built a pair of G7's 4 custom ribbon mic's, 3 u87's, a u67 with one of Max's transformers,
a 47 fet and now i am working on M49. I have honestly been waiting on building a U47 because I haven't felt like anyone in the DIY world has really nailed the body, UNTIlL NOW!!! These are going sweet!!!! Max great job, but please hurry!!  I am steadily losing patience  ;D

And for those of you hoarding the vf14 tubes: Plug and play with either the original telefunken or my vf14r version (prototype shown).

 

[EvLoutonian]

Bring it on.

Aha!!
That answers my question in reply#50 in this thread.
I felt you had something going on. Fantastic!!
