Just a little heads up to inform you guys that I made some cosmetic changes to my capsule. The acrylic is now clear and threaded the same as the originals. Price is the same and lead times should be shorter.

What a beautiful capsule Tim. Still hoping to try these soon in my Vintage AKG C424 Quadraphonic and in my Inntertube Audio MagMic

and in my Inntertube Audio MagMic I know Stayne prefers the teflon capsules for the MagMic. He actually harvests them out of B-ULS's. (Not sure what he does with the mics after he scavenges the capsules....) I traded him some 414B-ULS's for a 87 Tube insert back a few years ago. He was having trouble finding enough Teflon capsules for his MagMic's. |

That's funny drbill because AKG will sell you as many as you want for 157.59 bucks a piece.

He mentioned that he could no longer get them from AKG. That's what he told me anyway. Obviously buying or trading for a 414B-ULS that you no longer need after taking it apart is way harder and way more expensive than $157.59. |

Been wanting to try Tim’s capsule for a while |

Knowing AKG Harmon they start asking questions if you start buying capsules in any quantities or other parts for that matter. I had a customer who liked a specific JBL horn that was not sold as a separate piece, just as a part for his own wedges and after the 10th pair of horns I got this call saying no more! |
