I think as long as you have a good VF14 tube, nothing that has been swapped out of an U47 should make it be too difficult to get back to sounding like a proper U47. I'm very happy with the current production K47 capsules, and suitable replacements for the passive components are all available.

Tele USA no longer offers the 251-V, with vintage CK12, FYI.

So I finally found a great mic.

I got a U47, in amazing condition, and sounding great.

Gunther Wagner was the tech who last saw the mic, and vouched for it.

Now I will wait a while before looking again for another mic... hopefully the economy gets to where the prices go a little lower, and I also am able to get lucky and find another great example of another microphone.

But for now, I am really happy with this one. It sounds really really great, as a U47 should.

Cheers
