Only a SFI would fit in there IMHO, the 32Ω spec is a dead give-away too.

Finally got around to adulterating my pair of Audio Technica ATH-M2's.
ATH-M2 frame, PMB 6 drivers, "rip-off" Audio Technica replacement pads of forgotten model number, stock damping foam and 38mm yellow fiberglass discs.
Where the ATH-M2 drivers were "peaky" in the midrange like we know SFI's to be, these are perhaps mildly recessed, yet otherwise very flat to my ears. This is the best I've ever heard the PMB 6 drivers sound, these are way more comfortable than the stock ATH-M2 (ATH-2 earpads are like racing flats, there's no cush to them whatsoever), and I actually prefer the sound to the stock M2 as well. Overall I'm very happy with how these turned out. Easily gift-able, I think they'd be a very nice intro into ortho's, or hi-fi headphones in general.
And, for the sake of those who might be interested, I really don't need the stock M2 drivers (150Ohm SFI's, basically) and contemplated putting up an ad. PM me if interested and we can work something out.

That's an impressive first post... especially considering you signed up nearly 5 years ago

That's why it's impressive. It's taken him 5 years to put it together.

I think snorry sells modded planar headphones,you can find some old pics too. His work both visual and how he tunes fr is quite impressive.

This is not my mod, and made snorry (Sergei Novosibirsk), you can find his on the forum doctorhead ru
And what I post, if there was nothing to post? I was just reading.

I saw the reply before I saw who wrote it. It had to be either you or Armaegis

Does anyone managed to measure impedance for Sansui SS-L55 ?
My pair has a 32Ohms same as ATH-2 and they are bit more efficient than dumped ATH-2 and all this opposite to what iQEM was saying at 743page (he said that SS-L55 less effective and more harder to drive than ATH-2) .
P.S. Few weeks later i Will change ATH-2 to stock and compare them with SS-L55 in terms of sound quality, sound signature etc.

well yes...but i forget to tell that the pads of the ATH-2 that i had own before are more flatten/used up than the SS-L55, but both are in their stock condition when being compared...harder, and more diff to drive than the ATH2 but only marginal..so, i think it might caused by the flattened pads on ATH-2..other than that, the SS L55 sound more tone up than the bassy&laidback ATH-2..for the driver, i guess they both are the same impedance..only Eagle and ATH-1 that i ever auditioning long time ago that using lower impedance SFI driver..
