Yeah. They aren't identical. Don't buy the one you don't like. If the
dealer said he just replaced the "diaphragm", that sounds like
trouble. Either he doesn't know that it's called a "capsule" (or you
don't, unless that's what they call it over there) and that it's
something that should be replaced by a specialist.

Well, I think he said capsule, it was my mistake, and he is very experienced
in these things. He is one of the largest second hand dealers around (Funky
Junk London).

Maybe the dealer replaced it with a Chinese "diaphragm".


It's hard for me to say with what capsule he replaced it. How do I know it's
a original one anyway?

Still, the mic sounds very nice and very close to the one I like. It's just
the high end and level that's lacking. I can compensate that with my desk
and come very close. But I thought someone could point out what is causing
it in the first place.

Could it be that it needs caps replacement, tube, etc.?

thanks!
