I get PMed about parts I use.
I like to use Wire Wrap wire for the capsule to circuit connection if the capsule does not have wires attached, if attached I use what the capsule came with. I use good PVC or Teflon I don't get hung up on wire.
What I mean by good is the PVC is fully cured. In the past I have come across PVC wire that "dry rotted" this is on the high side AC sensor of my saturn and wire that the C attacked the Cu the wire turns black or green and goes bad inside the PVC.
I like to use wire wrap for my solid state builds. I like to star ground using perf board for solid state and tube microphone builds.
I believe Zebra uses the standoffs form some of the china microphones for high Z connections. I like to use the legs of the devices and wire the High Z in the air. For something like the G7 build I would inlarge the grid hole on the PCB so the tube socket pin does not touch and wire from the pin. I first clean with soap and water tube sockets I like to use sunlite dish soap it seems to have a good surfactant so it leaves less behind when rised off. I will dry the socket and then drop it in some alcohol and let it dry then use it. You need to be careful with touching anything in the High Z part of the circuit.
I even dip the ends of the Vacuum tube and use a Qtip on the pins and let it dry to hopefully remove any finger oils.
Zebra any good ways to clean that would be better than this.
I use only good transformers in a microphone I believe you heard more of the imperfections of the parts used because it is often the first step in the recording circuits
The term Qtip and sunlite dishsoap might not mean anything to people outside the USA.
