Re: Microphone Repair?

The Silicon Valley is a very noisy corner of the world, electrically that is. RF, EMF, microwave, the neighbor's HVAC, 2-wire electrical with no ground from 1960… If it can cause interference, I have going on around here.
I don't recall when I discovered that star-quad mic and interconnect cable was a requirement for me but it is. Probably worth snagging one on Amazon and trying it out just to see.

BTW, I do not buy into the mystic mumbo jumbo nonsense about cabling. I'm the first to admit that almost no one needs star quad. If you can't hear the difference, it doesn't exist. Having recently spent a ton of $$$$$ to upgrade the electrical around here to 3-wire w/ ground, twisted-twisted audio cable might not be needed anymore but I ain't throwing it out.
A pleasant surprise was that, by having SESCOM make them for me through Markertek, I saved a ton of money over buying off the shelf 'premium' standard cables offered by any of the name brands.
