Anyone build anything with these? Same 1/2"capsule used for the Nakamichi CP3; heard various claims that Nak hand-selected them for the CP3, or had specially modified vesion made for them (?).

Same capsule was available with tiny body containing a 2SK118 FET and bias resistors, unterminated as EM4052PMI4.
 
It looks from the data sheets for currently available Primo capsules that the EM23 has the closest spec to the EM50 -- (except that it's quite a lot larger!) --

I've never come across either of those capsules 'in the flesh' as it were.
I have been very impressed with their EM200/204 larger diameter 'standard' electret capsules (with integral FETs) .....
