mic mods

i am not impressed with the ecm8000's ~20dB of self noise; maybe i shouldn't have so hastily procured 6 of them!

anyway, mod time it is, with instructions and recommended parts kindly posted by others (thank you!):

seeing as i am currently financially challenged to the point where i should probably buy food over audio gear, it's an opportune time to start learning how to mod mics and maybe even diy. now, where is my soldering iron?! long time no see, my friend...

holy crap. even my laptop has ~20dB of self-noise on the on-board mic input. poor form; i can't hack this card up either!
