What?!

This is like a Radio Yerevan joke:

1.) Install resonance absorbers to dampen body vibrations
2.) Remove HF resonance discs that impart an unnatural boost to the high end that also makes transient detail less sharp.
3.) Install an absorber/diffuser at the base of the capsule to reduce sound reflections from the base of the capsule mounting area back into the capsule diaphragms.
4.) Shorten important capsule signal wires to reduce stray capacitance that robs high frequency detail.
5.) Remove one layer of grille screening to reduce HF reflections and improve detail.
6.) Upgrade critical signal path components to extend bass response and gain additional detail

When all of this is done, the Oktava MK-319 becomes something special - a unique Russian microphone in a world of overly-bright, sound alike and look alike mics.

Radio Yerevan was asked:

"Is it true that Russian microphones are the best in the world?

Radio Yerevan answers:  

"Yes, in principle this is true, but first you must  install resonance absorbers to dampen body vibrations Remove HF resonance discs that impart an unnatural boost to the high end that also makes transient detail less sharp. Install an absorber/diffuser at the base of the capsule to reduce sound reflections from the base of the capsule mounting area back into the capsule diaphragms. Shorten important capsule signal wires to reduce stray capacitance that robs high frequency detail. Remove one layer of grille screening to reduce HF reflections and improve detail. Upgrade critical signal path components to extend bass response and gain additional detail. Install resonance absorbers to dampen body vibrations Remove HF resonance discs that impart an unnatural boost to the high end that also makes transient detail less sharp. Install an absorber/diffuser at the base of the capsule to reduce sound reflections from the base of the capsule mounting area back into the capsule diaphragms. Shorten important capsule signal wires to reduce stray capacitance that robs high frequency detail. Remove one layer of grille screening to reduce HF reflections and improve detail. Upgrade critical signal path components to extend bass response and gain additional detail. When all of this is done, the Russian microphones are the best in the world, and look alike mics.

The Armenian Radio answers:
"Yes, but with a woman it is better."

The Armenian Radio was asked:

"Has poet Mayakovsky committed suicide?"

Q: Why do we have to carry the ID booklet to the grocery to be given the baloney quota ?

A: So you can keep the quota of salami in it until you get home.

Radio Yerevan was asked:

"Is it true that there is freedom of speech in the Soviet Union the same as there is the USA?"

Radio Yerevan answered:

"In principle, yes. In the USA, you can stand in front of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, and yell, ´Down with Reagan!´, and you will not be punished. In the Soviet Union, you can stand in the Red Square in Moscow and yell, ´Down with Reagan!´, and you will not be punished."

Radio Yerevan was asked:

"Is it true that conditions in our labor camps are excellent?"

Radio Yerevan answered:

"In principle, yes. Five years ago one of our listeners was not convinced of this, so he was sent to investigate. He seems to have liked it so much that he hasn't returned yet."

Radio Yerevan was asked:

"Is it true that the Soviet Union is the most progressive country in the world?"

Radio Yerevan answered:

"Of course! The life was already better yesterday than it's going to be tomorrow!"

While this subject can be www.dressupforcharity.com
very touchy for most people,
my opinion is that there www.dressupforcharity.com
has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find.
I do appreciate that youve added www.dressupforcharity.com
relevant and intelligent commentary here though.
Thank you!
