Thanks Frost- Do you have the specific modification info, is it just for a higher polarizing voltage? Conversely, does that mean it's not a good idea to use my M582 designated cap (an M58 omni) on the M691 P48 body (which was supplied with the M71)?

Steve, my M71 is definitely Cardioid only, with ...

I have a Neumann 582 valve mic system with an M58 omni head which all works fine. I've been trying to use an M71 large diaphragm capsule (also Gefell standard screw fit) on the 582 body and my question is there a modification needed to the mic electronics to make it properly compatible? I'm getting ...

I totally agree, I bought a 3M M56 16tk that was seriously fucked about 4 years ago. It was pretty cheap at £300 GBP... It's a great way to memorise a machine's circuit drawings and get into debt. Alas, it proved disasterous for my love life and I'm now single... Not one to learn from experience I ...

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Arthur Scargill?

Arthur Scargill hasn't seen a minor's helmet in over 15 years.

this looks promising and uses a standard voltmeter, you would have to print your own scale though.

I do have a circuit drawing for a Neve (BA376 I think) phase meter, but don't have access to a scanner at the mo-
if you email me I could probably sort a copy out though.

'Sound recording practice' by John Borwick is an excellent book that covers all your listed topics. Especially the 2nd and 3rd editions if you can find them used. The 4th (or 5th?) edition is available from amazon and the rest.

is great on several now-classic 1970s albums by Brian Eno. Just because the man has peddled a lot of crap over the decades doesn't mean he's not a good drummer.

Don't get me wrong, 'Easy Lover' is a great song and respect too for sticking with Gretsch for so long.

Chris, are you gonna break ...

The C37 has never been a ribbon, only a large dia. capacitor mic.

C37a: Valve stage (or tube).
C37b: Fet stage, battery only.
C37p: Fet, phantom power.

Regarding that old forum post:

C35p: Small dia. fet capacitor mic, end fire capsule (I think).
C36p: Small dia. fet capacitor mic, side ...

That song "untitled" has the most flagrantly wrong note in it--when the bass should go down to an A but he goes to G#. It's repeated over and over too so it's not accidental. What were they thinking?

that phenomenon is apparently known as the 'Robert Smith' effect, i.e. make a fuck-up, then ...
