Takstar CM-60 and CM-63 capsule mods.

Good catch, those different model names. Maybe they are indeed different, but knowing that specifications on Aliexpress must be taken with a big grain of salt, I wouldn't be surprised they are one and the same. Even if they come from the same supplier. Just look at the description of the YL-2201: it's an RK-87, RK-47 and M7 capsule at the same time...

I haven't done any recording yet and would only use it in the KMS 105, btw. Doesn't make any sense with the frequency response as it is now, both modded and unmodded.

I've got a PCB ready for the KMS 105, because the stock counterfeit KMS 105 electronics is extremely noisy. Just have to assemble it, but got other priorities now.

Not at my PC now, but will post the frequency responses of the modded and unmodded capsules vs a 3U Audio cardiod capsule once I get to it.

This one is YL-04, while the first one is YL-2201 - both made by "HI-LE".

Though the slots do not seem wider to me these have visibly different casings.
YL-04 has less pronounced or at least more rounded front lip and tighter mesh.
Also differently constructed backing plate

Ah, yes, I now see what you mean!

The one from my KMS 105 clone and the one I bought separately are at least the same: the YL-2201.

Yup. That's the capsule @kingkorg wrote about and we, you and I, bought.
@glitterball found a different one. Must be a fresh offer on the market, I suppose.

I guess you're right. Thumbs up for @glitterball !

Not sure what to make of this, but I just became aware of the striking similarity between the CM-63 and AT4021; the body looks exactly the same and the capsule grille is very similar.

Intereseting that the 4021 is an electret, though . . .
