Interesting.  So if the circuits don't need to change, do the values of the parts used?  Meaning I guess that if capsules are a generic capacitive source, do they have the same general capacitance or does the variance not matter much?

So exactly what are the final parts needed for this project that still need to be completed to make this a reality? It seems that we have electronics guys, and machinist guys, all working at their respective specialty, but neither side wants to work together to come up with a final working product? I'm confused here. Can someone fill me in?

Nothing else is needed, these will be out, like mentioned earlier, schoeps are done and being assembled and now Jon(followinbob)is working on the akg, then he plans to tackle the gefell, this is real fellas, its going to hit like a ton of bricks and soon.

From what I know, this sounds like the real deal to me guys. I think Jon is well equipped to get this done, and soon. I have some faith restored that this project is much closer to becoming a reality than we could have hoped for. I'm happily waiting with my fingers crossed. Jon has the resources, connections, & the skills to make this happen, so don't give up hope. I'm just as frustrated as the next guy at the lack of availability of these type of cables and the pace of their design, but IMHO, those that have dogging this guy are barking up the wrong tree.

These are some really purty looking collettes! Professional quality manufactured equipment pix! Love the look of this!

Not having used actives before, how feasible is it to use them for 007 taping?  Actives + caps + tinybox + M10?  It would be awesome if I can put my AKG caps to use in this way.

James Bond prefers his Schoeps actives when in enemy territory :)

Can't wait for these (ok waiting patiently, but in the way a kid waits for christmas, it doesn't have to come sooner but we wish it would).

My guess is that these will be fitted with 2mm Mogami W2697 cable, making them quite good for 007 applications. I would be curious to know if the strain relief mechanisms seen in the pictures will also support 3mm or 4mm OD cable for, generally speaking, open taping purposes.
