I posted a link to this in the A/D forum also (because the site also has instructions on how to build your own portable A/D). Anyway, this guy built this cool little stereo stealth mic with AKG ck1 caps. I'm sure it would be just as easy to do with ck61's as they're pretty much the same caps. Anyone made anything like this?

This is all he really says about the mic:
"My microphone system was built using 2 AKG CK-1 condenser microphone modules.
A DC Fet microphone pre-amplifier designed by Mr. Akihiko Kaneda, the famous Japanese amateur amplifi er designer, is attached just below the CK-1 condenser module.
This micorphone system is powered by batteries and looks like a kind of robot.
Since the angle between the two condenser module is 90 degrees, it acts as a one-point-stereo microphone."
And then there's some more stuff about it here:

that's hardly true. It looks like a non-standard near-coincidence technigue. To each his own.
