I bought another broken MXL microphone (V89MBP) to just use the body. It was pretty cheap. If I am correct the 5840 and the 6AK5 are pretty close in specs. So I thought: why not the basic Royermod with a 6AK5? Granted, I am not breaking any new ground here, but thought I'd share it anyway, and post for criticisms. Except for the body, I just used (cheap) parts I already had.
KCM transformer and a capsule I got from a mini group buy. (Factory second?)
Here is the mic:
It passed the smoke test and the brief hello world check. So at least it works. How it sounds will be determined.
Here is the schematic: (Except I didn't have a 1uF that would fit, so I used a 2.2uF)
