woodwork - really nice tattoo

Hi there,

Could someone check how deep are the jumbo pads? that is, what is the driver to ear distance?

I'm in the process of making a replacement an I'd really apprecciate if someone measured thid detail.

i have had these for quite a while , i didnt really give them much attention after my DT880's came in 

and noe my DT880 are retired and i am using the Shure SRH-1840 , so this afternoon i was statring vacantly at my closet and remebered my MS1000 that were just sitting at the back of a box in the closet. 

so i dug them out , gave the SRH-1840 a a short run with my ears for about 30 min to carmen gomes...

then i plugged the ms1000 the zero dac , and took a listen to a song...

i was instantly impressed and was listen for 10 min before i realized i side tracked , i realize i was missing more bass in my 1840 , dont get me wrong the 1840's has way better bass accuracy then these , but these seemed to have a nicer bass ? made it seem more full

the soundstage was another , i instantly felt like i was "cheated " by the 1840's  

these had a wider stage " due to the longer cavity" 

the mids , well i could'nt concentrate on them the sound-stage was just taking all my attention.

and i dont know how to tell " treble rolloff " (i dont think i have realized this or maybe my hearing cant sense it or that i like it , ( alos couldnt sense it with the DT880's) 

overall the ms1000 made the music feel...er musical ? i sensed a little more aggression from it when i was listening to utada hikaru 

for me i only sensed a little diff between these two , and if say i was listening for long i dont think i would have been able to tell the difference , which make me feel alittle upset with the 1840 , even though i know their main title is to be super neutral  with a slight bass shyness.

I dont understand when people say that these bowl pads are comfortable...honestly i find them bloody irritating , they touch my ears and the sponge texture is like sand paper to my ears and to the side of my face.

Would appreciate inputs.

For the RS1i, is it OK if the distancers are glued on? I don't know how to liberate the drivers and would rather keep it this way.

A pair of vintage SR200 with HP-2 drivers are arriving in a week and I'll be able to try this mod.
Anyone have experience with this.
 

Curious if you ever 1000'd the Magnum... thoughts?
