Nu v2 Capsules

The Nu version-2 capsule is ready to go!

1. Thicker permalloy ring for improved electromagnetic isolation, better string focus and crosstalk reduction.
2. Bobbin-less coil to make room for the improved permalloy ring.
3. Lower magnetic pull.
4. Epoxy impregnated injection molded capsule.
5. Improved preamplifier.
   1. Low noise discrete/Op Amp hybrid differential preamplifier for improved immunity to electrostatic noise.
   2. Less stringent requirements on power supply regulation and noise (although I still highly recommend using a very low noise power supply suitable for low noise audio).
   3. Expanded power supply range. You can now power the capsules from 5v up to 18v. A higher supply voltage will give you a significantly higher dynamic range. Nu v1 maxed out at 5v.
   4. Instrument-level, like before, but not as hot as Nu v1. Roland synth users say the output of Nu v1 is too hot.
   5. Better output drive. Nu v1 has a 10k output impedance. Nu v2 has a very low output impedance with a 17 mA current drive capability.
   6. Rail-to-Rail Output. Which also translates to optimal dynamic range.

Technically, this is v3 now, if you count the Neo as v1. I almost forgot the Neo and the Six-pack project, where it all started.
