  Best lesson I&apos;ve ever taken about electrects! <br>Very well explained, now I know what every component is used for instead of just following a recipe. &nbsp;<br>Many thanks!

  I know this is an old video, but I built your circuit, and I made a correction, to get way more gain and to not cut off the low tones -&gt; replace the 100nF caps with 47uF ones. Much better!<br>Great video by the way :)

  I just finished building your circuit. &nbsp;It worked out great. &nbsp;Your explanation of how to build the circuit was very easy to follow. &nbsp;Thanks a lot.

  Shit! I think I just subscribed on purpose to someone who gives GOOD detailed explanations of what he&apos;s doing and why it&apos;s working/not working. I hope all the videos are like this. GREAT JOB! THANK YOU!

  Thank you thank you! I have been trying to get a successful electrek condenser premap. &nbsp;Your build was the first of 4 YouTube examples that worked on my first try, following your walkthrough tonight! &nbsp;I did give you a Like and I subscribed a while back. &nbsp;Really enjoyed and appreciate your walkthrough and thorough explanation Bitlumi! &nbsp;Couple of informational updates added after I commented that I&apos;m sharing &nbsp;based on my experience. &nbsp;I changed to a 1 uF on my output which fattened my output a bit. &nbsp;I had seen the suggestion to do on other walkthroughs. &nbsp;I realize the quality of my electrek was probably less than the hosts. &nbsp;Also I used a 9v battery on my build which worked. &nbsp;I did this as it was I had available and gambled that it might work. &nbsp;Again though this walkthrough was great!
