Well, then you have tried it and know. That's what I mean. I never excluded=
what you say.
Disaster?? A lot self noise and sensitive to humidity. Even if electrets
are reliable, I have met such "disasters".
Almost every month I get offers from China to get samples of "their new
fantastic electret". I gladly do that, and some capsules have been really
nicely designed. Still disasters, as they don't work.
The Primo EM23 capsule is still the by far best, compared with more than 50=
other similar capsules. It is also the most expensive. I run it with other=
electronics than Primo, though.
