I don't know if it's foundational or a masterpiece, but it's really good. I'...

Before that the last time I warmed up the iron was to take half the cables from a 8 channel TRSM>XLRM snake and convert them to pseudo-balanced. Unfortunately, all of those buzz really badly with every source I've tried so far. Not sure what the deal is there, but I haven't bothered to try to sort ...

Latest thing you've built?
Following the "Latest gear you've acquired" thread, what's the most recent thing you've been working on? I'll start with a couple. Here's a DI box I made recently for bass guitar: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1531/26294903341_b6799c64e4_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1638/26268760242_9774fef...

electret elements often have an integrated buffer, so a capacitance reading won't be helpful. raw condenser elements are under 100pF, generally (thus the high impedance nature of the surrounding circuitry). might be easier to go the other way: (carefully) inject signal at the capsule and see if the ...
