Anyone have their MCA SP1 Mocs modded? There’s the Michael Joly and Microphone Parts mods. How do these compare to the Jim Williams mod? I don’t have much experience w a solder gun, but the mic parts diy mod is $150 cheaper, and I have a pair I wanna mod.
I’m curious what people’s opinions are on these SP1 mods. Hopefully some of u have tried more than one, if not all..
Thanks,
Adam
