Is that a scratch in the gold or dust? A scratch like that probably happened before rather than after assembly so it shouldn't affect anything though

No scratch, just dust

My friend received his K87 yesterday. I'll finally be able to do some comparison recordings.

I received my matched k87’s last week (thank you, @soliloqueen) … so I will install one in one of my @poctop D-67’s … and do some A/B comparisons with my Beesneez capsules (which IF I remember correctly are Ben’s “economy” K67’s) which sounded really good BTW …

Also … at the same time … I am hoping to install one of my flat 47’s into one of my @poctop D-EF47’s and A/B it against my 3U M7’s …

I have just been a bit slammed at work … but it was always my intention to upgrade both pairs of 47’s and 67’s with Ari’s capsules when I received my k87’s …

Newb Question … Do I need to change any electronic components in either the D-67 or the D-EF47 to accommodate the k87 or flat 47 ?

Thank you in advance !!!

Why would that be the case?

Ok, maybe you might need to mess with the pF-range feedback capacitor in the 67 if you wanna tweak the HF-attenuation, but other than that.....

Thank you, @Khron
I figured as much …

But as enlightened tweakers … I always expect one of you will have discovered a fine tuning “adjustment” or other specific tweak for various capsule types in the same mic …

I am happy to just swap capsules !

I did exactly that. Pretty sure you're gonna like it, but looking forward to your impressions.

Just don't be surprised by a significant drop in level. The k87 is a flat clone of a '60s k67 but with isolated back plates. This version of the Neumann capsule has extremely low capacitance compared to any modern k87 clone, especially the 3u units. Most k67 clones are way, way too loud, so if you swap one of mine in, it's going to seem super quiet
