This rig will cost 1/3 of your schoeps rig and sound just as good. :o ;D :P ;)

That's like saying the sound of a couple of skeletons banging on a tin roof will improve if they use a condom.

Someone will be getting a Christmas present.  I will need to tweak the drawing on the couplings, I guess I had made some changes on my prototype that never made it back to the drawing, but the thread hole needs to be about 3mm deeper (just the drill, not the tap), and the whole package can probably be a couple mm shorter.
It would appear the project has made some headway....

if i had a set of akg or mbho's or gefell caps and wanted a active set up bad, i would take the caps to a local machine shop or even a high school vo-tech class.  give them some pictures and ideas and have them draw something up.  pass that along to jon naiant to see if its workable.  he already said it shouldnt be a prob to power any of them.  i cant see a slow machine shop or high school seniors project charging all that much.  dont wait for anyone else, get out and check a place out.  what the worse that can happen?  they say no?  big deal.  move on to the next guy.  step up!   ed
needin some fishhead music!

ero3030...As far As I know...

TS has machined and sent a test pair of Colettes to Jon N. teh ball is in his court...there are some adjustments for final production but nothing that would stop testing as far as I know...Preamp Sales are brisk I guess and testing is moving slowly...until there is a approved Prototype Jon will not sell the unit....

Gefell actives are actively happening :D

We've been waiting for years, and I got tired of waiting.  I have a few PCB prototypes I am working on.

The same PCBs will work with AKG.

If someone has some AKG caps they aren't using and would like to loan, that would help move things along on that front.
