Patch Cable

["1GDW" <>]

I ran across instructions for building a patch cable to connect a 
mini disk recorder to a microphone using an XLR at 
http://www.trentu.ca/trentradio/audiosoup/as_cfrc040131/mic2minidisc.

The suggestion is to include a capacitor in the line to disable the 
power from the mini disk.  Would this be advisable when connecting a 
Sennheiser ME-66 to a mini disk?  I have a patch cable now that does 
not include the capacitor and it works but I wonder if this could be 
an improvement.
