Is the sound in the same league as using the bodies, I can see how there may be a different sound but just curious if there is any sacrifice in the gear chain. I used an old jk labs setup way back and this setup reminds me of that box.

It has a good sound but I would say that it is "warmer" then the stock 460/mk46 system.

That's great. Looks like the best of both worlds.

Definitely darker sounding with less sizzle.
Sounds clear and present with some nice bass.

FYI, it is a kick ass recording of a bunch of pretend-a-hippies talking.

Yeah, this could be a great compact system.  The only worry for me is the age of the ck1x (electret) caps.  If they are working, great.  But exercise care buying these, especially on ebay.

I respectfully disagree.  I have worked on this capsule, and it is.
CK1, the regular version, is externally polarized.

can you bypass the tiny box and use a set of PFA's so that you can run them with any preamp providing 12V or more of voltage?
