I NEED Your Broken Denon AH-D750!
And part 2: fixed! Well, I never thought I would manage it: re-attaching baby-hair width voice-coil wires, but it's a done deed. Listening to these denon as I type on a fully restored Aiwa HS-PX50: so sweet! So, I had to redo the original operation, and retrieve more length of...- GWD72

I NEED Your Broken Denon AH-D750!
Hello Forum Followers, So, the following is a tale of live and learn. I received yesterday my Denon AH-D750 in good condition, except that the foam covering the driver had turned to goo. There is a metal grill over the driver, and the foam was pushed through in a goo-like mess. I saw that...- GWD72

Onkyo DP-400: anyone have specs of any information about these?
Hello forum followers! I have on the way a set of Onkyo DP-400 cans and wonder if anyone has (had) a set and can tell me their impressions? I can't find much at all on this model, although I did find for the DP-300 someone claiming a freq. range of 4 - 24,000Hz, and 32ohm...so I could...- GWD72

Hand-made genuine sheep-skin ear pad replacements: this guy makes custom sizes!
Hi there! I've now been wearing mine for many hours at a time, for a few days. Very comfy, on the MDR-V4. I think though, comfort is not just down to the pads, but also overall weight, and clamping force of the headband. Originally, I found these to be very smooth, not gripping on the...- GWD72

Hand-made genuine sheep-skin ear pad replacements: this guy makes custom sizes!
So, as promised, some info and some pics. They've arrived and I couldn't be more pleased. Very comfy and make an excellent seal. I don't think a big name company could have made these better! A very high quality work and I am guessing I will get many many years out of these. Other...- GWD72

Hand-made genuine sheep-skin ear pad replacements: this guy makes custom sizes!
Hello forum followers! Before I begin, I mention this has nothing to do with me. (I am not selling these and benefit nothing personally by posting this). I am merely informing about a very rare opportunity to have custom made, genuine leather ear pad replacements, by an ebay seller (whose...- GWD72

Sony MDR-V4 cans: seeking full specs and other owners' experiences!
Hi Joe, So I followed the link you sent and put a message in to Sony. They actually responded within about 2 minutes! Impressive, BUT, not quite what I'd expected! So, the Sony people at the other end of that link, are Sony Video and Sound support who essentially tried to push me...- GWD72

Sony MDR-V4 mod with a little help from Yamaha! How does it work?
Hello forum followers! Seems like I am only able to post here, so here it shall be. On a whim, pure impulse, I just modded my V4's (and yes, no one seems to know them, but for this thread, it doesn't matter). These cans are spec'd to 10Hz, and are open. I liked the sound, but thought I...- GWD72

Got my Sony MDR-V7
Hi there, Yes, the myths are out there. I didn't know either way, and just wanted to know if what I had found was only part of the story. It still could be, but from what you tell, it seems I am on the right track. My interest in the "issue" was merely that I am interested in these...- GWD72

Sony MDR-V4 cans: seeking full specs and other owners' experiences!
Hi Joe, Thanks for the reply. I will give your link a go, maybe it will be comm in English! About a week ago, deep into some Japanese threads I found a link to some Sony pages, and found a "contact us" page (google translate is brilliant!). So, I sent a request directly to some Sony...- GWD72

Sony MDR-V4 cans: seeking full specs and other owners' experiences!
Hello forum followers! I am a noob here and so currently limited to only posting here. I have revisited analogue from the days of yore and eventually had to also find decent vintage cans to enjoy them with. Which brings me here... I am mostly a fan of Aiwa walkmans (which I restore)...- GWD72

Got my Sony MDR-V7
Hi there! Yes, yes, I know, old thread, but still... Where does the notion that this is true come from: V7=900ST (50mm Evaporated Saphire drivers)? Does someone have it in print? On a box? In a manual? From here: we can see that the V7 have amorphous titanium diaphragms, with CCAW...- GWD72
