The T.bone SCT2000 - Riri 912000 Mod

Hello,
I had a TBS 2000 I just sell a buddy to Morocco for his studio ... (very few people have no international credit card and the internet to buy ... and with the post at Morocco, more than we may find the sale micro flea that to see him arrive home ... well ...)
So I think in repurchase and I am Intress by mods that seem to bring much ...!
But I know nothing about electronics, so if it comes to changing a lamp, is it screwed or soda, and if there is a component of change, someone may point me how ...?
Come on, I need to make some welds, but I am unable to reconniatre the different types of components the eye ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

In short, thank you for the help!
Hi.
Herv. hteboul@yahoo.fr

Both say right away:
Basically SCT2000 T-Bone is the same mic but it changes almost everything: condo resistance, and light ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had one since October 2006, and I did not like the original microphone, I have two matched pairs of lamps that should happen these days, but already without changing the lamp, you do not really even micro ...
Cf topics in the forum dedicated to changing the light micro ...
After a test with the same gain and a comparison of the original with the converted, it appears that the change "release the capsule" in the words Riri912000 ...
This results in better compliance with the transitional phases them out I found between the AT 4050 and T-Bone go, it's very clear! So ended phase rotation ... The microphone is more open, less typical in the lower midrange and more air into the top ... (I'm sorry to use these terms here but it's really how I feel listening, and I have analyzed later) ...
By putting them in a couple of (modified) above the other (original) and aligned them are single with a phase inversion, leaving only what is more, it is to say essentially the acute, which I missed a few things and basically the bottom ...
See how it sounds is no longer in the same range as the original micro!
Good luck with the mod! It takes less than an hour, and there are less than € 25 components

SCT2000, tube microphone.

As Music007, I almost changed everything except the resistance (very little impact on the signal / noise ratio, already very good, and almost no sound on).

After trying several lamps, I use an Electro Harmonix finally with 12ax7GOLD.

With the lamp, it came back to less than 25 euros.

OVERALL OPINION

As emphasized Music007 without any change at all, I really felt like having a micro better, and this I felt when I plugged in and sing in the first time.

The sound seems more linear than originally defined, more transparent.
I could hardly hear the more aggressive small peaks in the midrange and treble side and the slightly acid in the upper spectrum.
The midrange also seem perfectly clear already that the original is pretty good.
Warm, open and balanced super anything.
The dynamics of transients and the respect is excellent too.

Despite this aspect rather balanced and transparent, the microphone reacts even better depending on the nature of the lamp that he met.
For example, with my Mullard 12at7NOS, rather typed, the sound, though colorful, no longer at the top this aggression and lack the low end, he could have when I used the version in the Mullard T Bone's home.

Really conquered, now if I were to buy a mic, it would fork out much more, I think, to enjoy a real difference.
In any case there is more than I need in terms of quality (but I have enough).

Frankly, it cost the slab all these changes and the result is quite sensational!

Finally, I particularly want to thank Riri912000, the instigator of this change, for his help, advice and explanations given notice, but for the rest (he'll understand ...)
