    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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)...

    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...
