I second this. I prefer the ZMF sub pads over Dekoni, which are also good. I'm actually trying out Sendy Aiva pads on my Clear OG right now. So comfy, but I think maybe sound quality, it's behind the ZMF and Dekoni pads a little.

I kept mine too, and glad I did because it's getting a spot in my nascent modest vinyl setup that's coming together. Fluance RT82 + Mani 2 + Vali2+ = ? I'll report back later!

Here's a 2 hole baffle - sapele from I forgot the year :)

Yes, the outputs both are active simultaneously. I have XLR out to Jot 2 and RCA to a tube amp.

Happy to report mine arrived too. Totally agree, very well made, beyond my expectation.

Still waiting to hear anything on my purchase too.

Great buyer, smooth transaction.

Easy buyer to work with. Prompt and flexible. Much appreciated. Happy to buy/sell/trade with him again!

Thanks for the tip on these. I wouldn't have thought to look for these on Hart's site. I like the cable! It's thicker/heavier than the stock one, but doesn't cause me any problem. It definitely makes KPH40 more accessible on my desktop setups. And portable, it's nice to be able to run it...

Yes, still available.

Broadly speaking, I think it's fair to call the RW-2000 a fairly direct upgrade to RW-9, sound quality-wise. I hear both the upper and lower ends extension better and more detailed. RW-2000 leans a little toward neutral (in a good way to me). One thing to be aware of is fit. Shells are...

For sale an excellent condition Argon mkII, made from a newly purchased Fostex T-X0 (massdrop). I'm the first owner, and it's seen little use and was well-cared for. Pet/smoke-free environment. Includes: Deerskin strap Balanced wiring (by Modhouse) ZMF Ori sheepskin pads Stock leather strap...

Agreed. The Dekonis are pretty firm, more than stock for sure. That's one reason I prefer the ZMFs, they're softer, closer to the stock pad feel.

I had the Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin (not custom Stellia) on my Elear when I had it, and I liked it a lot. I went back and forth with Clear pads, liking them both. Now on my Clear, I've settled on the ZMF sub pads, but I swap the OG pads on occasionally.

I think they would do well in mild to moderate noise situations. If you're trying to minimize typical office background, I'd consider them adequate. You could still hear someone close talk at you directly or hear your phone ring if you're listening at lower volumes.
