A crystal

right on the input jack, that accomplishes this. For a few pennies and 
less time than it's taking me to write this you can make a crystal mic 
sound like it's supposed to (provided you have a good element to start 
with).
   Are u talking of an amp modification, changing a resistor?  I don't 
understand what you're saying here - how is it that we can "make a crystal mic sound 
like it's supposed to", so easily and quickly?
