Thank you very much for sharing your opinion on the microphones
.
I have no bias or prejudice against home-made gears. But your explanation about lack of shielding around the mic capsules make a lot more sense than his background does
. You save me some money.
By the way, some Japanese tapers make pretty good microphones using Panasonic microphones such as WM-61As. I might as well get one from them and give it a try
