My Blue Yeti doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as his homemade mic.

The build quality is also really impressive. What a range of skills.

Question for the electrical/audio engineers in the crowd: could I get similar results by simply yanking the capsule out of my Yeti and soldering in the capsule shown in the video?
No, because the enclosure has a significant impact on the acoustics and is designed for the capsule. It's the same as swapping the driver out in a loudspeaker. You might get lucky, but probably not.
