These mods include a large value grid resistor for full low frequency response, a large cathode bypass caps painstakingly selected by ear, Vishay cathode resistors for quietness, and a selected FILM capacitor for the output. Those of you familiar with this mic know how difficult it is to get a film cap in the mic without damaging the delicate plastic frame, and how much better it sounds than run of the mill electrolytics in that position.
