I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...
I didn't think of TEAC when I began searching for a dedicated CD player. My initial short list included Denon, Cambridge, Marantz, Onkyo. The Teac intrigued me, so I went for it. It is very...
Sennheiser HD-598s are the most comfortable headphones I've had the opportunity to use. I recommend these wholeheartedly for any first-time hi-fi buyer because of their excellent soundstage and...
I just received my SigPros (bought from a fellow head-fi'er), and now have several hours with them. They are great headphones. Agree with most of what everyone's saying about them. These...
What he means is that the amount of time you spend on head-fi is inversely proportional to the fatness of your wallet. For you shall become audiophile...the destroyer of wallets!

A warning: be really sure you know why you want to do this project. You can waste a lot of money on DIY projects and still not get a decent result. You should post your idea in the DIY forum, and maybe some of them could even give you advice on how to synthesize it.
As a suggestion, you could buy a roll of sheet-aluminum, a pair of tin-snips, and some scraps of leather, and you have enough to make a viable substitute -- but I can't really say, since I don't know what you're doing.
lol...oh ok...well i'm only interested in just the ones in my avatar...
plus i'm cheap...so $20 would be the highest i'd spend on any pair of headphones
That's what a lot of us said. You have no idea what's about to happen to you yet. The moment you posted it was all over. It's just waiting for the rest of you to catch up.
If I happen to run across those older models I will send you a pm.
