I’m looking for capsules for my mk102 pair.
One was really badly oxydized and started rumbling. (Factory error, because studio is dry and nice).
Since the capsule was bad anyway i thought it would be a good learning project.
I took it apart and cleaned it and swapped the back and front plates.
I got it within 1dB of the other one.
I also accidentally scratched the gold foil with screwdriver.
Somehow i also managed to scratch the good capsule of the other as well (because i’m a moron).
they still sound surprisingly fine, but my OCD is nagging me.
I’m looking for two decent capsules that would work well with the mk012 preamp.
I sort of liked the originals, but they were harsh compared to MK105 i have. But at the same time not as forward as oc818, so i’m frankly not bent in having a similar tone and it sounds like a fun experiment.
Any suggestions?
I searched around and saw some options but a lot of them are unavailable (takstar, maiku).
Saw a bunch of stuff over at Ali, but worried about consistency.
I’m even thinking of going edge terminated because why not (although a drop-in would be center terminated cardio)
