They'll work with any Oktava caps... I had extra pads... two arethe two ends I need to make a set of actives.. the RED caps are all I had in the car to photograph.  Never saw or heard of actives for MK-012s

dude!  OK, there are no FETs or anything in the capsule end, right?  What kind of wire is that?  Do the sound as good as without the cable?

I just thought that cable would have some capacitance.

No time to run them ..yet.  I used the two conductors of the silver 20ga and the shield and kept them short 5.5' to keep the capicatence down. Of course there will be some loss.. 4-6db down..? the 10db pads had 130pf cap... this should have 45pf (9pf-foot) I hope its just loss and not distortion.
