Turns out that whole hyper-persnicketyness about solder rosin and high impedence connections is actually really important, as I discover why a previous DIY microphone - an Austin OTA-1 ribbon mic - was a lot noiser than it needed to be.
Also, I play with a microphone setup that Tony of Vixy & Tony has been after me for a while to try. Late-night recording sample at the link.
