Theres actually a tape op article about this as well, how to convert one of those MXL mics into something comparable to a U47, sounds like bull but it was written by mr royer so there must be something in it. I'm gonna see if i can find the link. The capsules on these things are probably pretty good, swapping components for better ones would make a big difference i think, but are the designs of these circuits any good in the first place? If you're planning on doing something like this i'd be really into hearing the results.
