Besides wima having once been considered a premium brand, there will be little to no difference in sound changing brands..

That’s interesting. Did you buy secondhand? I wonder if maybe it was an earlier revision/prototype or maybe a previous owner messed with the internals. Would definitely be kinda weird for someone to swap in cheaper capacitors, though.
My experience dealing with Mike has been great. I’m sure he’ll get it sorted out for ya.

Heard back from Mike with a good explanation The Wunder Audio CM7 FET Suprema has improved this design with a modern upgrade that employs an ultra-low noise single n-channel transistor with JFET technology coupled with a Neve 1073 style mic pre-transformer. “ Basically, we did a new revision of the circuit board which employed the nicer JFET transistor, and the larger capacitors, which are the Wima 10 µF caps, improving these from the 4.7 uF in the old version had. This was able to lower the low corner frequency response about an octave. And the newer hand selected JFET brought in an audiophile performance compared to the earlier FET Only the tube line of our microphones have the Mundorf capacitors because the Mundorfs are the size of a 12 X7 tube and that’s in the 1uF version. The FET mic needs two 10 µF caps And then the Mundorf are so huge one of them wouldn’t even fit inside the body. So accordingly, when the suprema line came out the tube Mic retail values went up several hundred dollars where the CM7 FET only went up $100 |
