When I said "we", I was referring to John/BXO and I (as in replying to 
his message).  John, Otis, and someone else, forget now who it was... 
Steve/K5LTK, perhaps, ordered some D-104 cartridges.  In fact, I think 
they were the JT-30 replacement crystal cartridges, which have a very 
similar sound to them, if not a bit 'richer'.

With the right amount of EQ, any microphone can be made to sound -at 
least- acceptable on the air.

John, in particular, came up with an RC network, incorporating some 
inverse feed-back on a 12AX7 mic preamp that flattens out the audio 
response on most any crystal element mic (like a D-104 or JT-30, etc...)
