Pretty sure the Takstars have much less of a high end boost. I don't know what an equalized iSK capsule sounds like, but I can say I find Peluso's capsules to be quite sibilant.
I'd suggest not wasting time and money on Peluso. Highly inconsistent, unreliable and overpriced. Takstar is the closest thing to Neumann on budget, the only one above it would be Soliloqueen's k67 which also has backplates insulated.

It was confirmed by Jules Ryckebusch in a forum post somewhere that JLI is selling the Takstar CTS-2 as their "TSC-2" capsule.
But, I just saw this on Aliexpress from reseller TZT, pictured with the same screws and wire colors and was wondering if anyone knew if these were Takstar CTS-2's as well?
What's actually pretty funny is this review on the TZT page where it appears some guy swapped out his Takstar capsule in his AKG Perception with what would seem to be the same exact capsule (if it's a Takstar, LOL) and loved the improvement.

I was wondering the same thing! Please let me know if you find out
My belief is that this capsule on Ali... is not the Takstar CTS-2.
There are many who follow the forums, profile groups and use the information for personal interest.
But, to paraphrase @RuudNL :
There's only one way to find out!
Just for peace of mind, I'm just going to order from JLI. If it costs me a few bucks more to support them and also get what I want, so be it.My belief is that this capsule on Ali... is not the Takstar CTS-2.

I see they have different model with various diaphragm...
Anyone knows which one is closer to the real U87 capsule?

Thank you!
I have always bought products from AliExpress,
or the entire used microphone, at a very good price.
I want to make an observation: the 797 CY037 capsule from the older B2-pro with through-hole parts also sounds good in the U87 circuit, it just needs a little more de-emphasis.
797 CY002
Here is the catalog with 797 capsules
I messaged the TZT store to ask if it was manufactured by either Takstar or Transound and the answer came back, "No."
So, I think that solves that as far as I'm concerned. The TZT ain't it.
Quod erat demonstrandum !
Semper ubi sub ubi!
Ok, so I guess JLI is it for the Takstar. I'm just going to make that my overall lower budget choice and move on to other fires to put out.
