That's a really good point. Do an external mod inline with a cable to figure out the desired FR first. Haha, so simple. Thanks!

Man, all these recommendations to use hot glue. I've never seen the stuff hold well, especially for long term use. Well, except maybe googly eyes on felt or paper. Use epoxy or E6000 if you can. For blocking holes I imagine hot glue is fine but not for something that will see mechanical stress.

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I recently purchased a pair of HD681 EVOs, listened to them for about 10 minutes and then set to modifying them based on observations and issues. So far I haven't put in the filter to drop the bass (I'm a bit of a basshead) but it...

Ahhh interesting. Thanks for the tip about the extra low gain mod, that'll be helpful. Glad to know that you can run something like the V6 without burning them up. I'm currently using the Fidelio X1's and at 30Ohms, they're obviously very easy to drive.

Hi all,   Firstly thanks for all of the input you've provided about the Ember. I've gone over a lot of threads about the Ember and am fairly set on purchasing one in the not too distant future. One thing that I'm concerned about (and I have emailed with Jeremy about) is the use of low...

Thanks for the reply Casper! I'm considering some 26awg twisted and shielded pair wire that I found on eBay being sold by navships and jacketing it further with type 1/#95 paracord. Smaller and more discrete than using the quad Mogami.   I also came across these two in case anyone is...

Hi All,   Thanks for posting up the information and pictures (definitely) of your mods. I've been inspired to use the mogami quad wire and have covered it with a colored sheath from 550 paracord. I'm currently working on how to replace the wire for the right driver. Would 24 or 26 gauge...

Very true this is. As we're also finding, the capacitors used in the T1's manufacture also vary. I have Lelon caps in mine and am curious what it'll sound like with those changed out for better quality versions. I'm aware of small and large saucer getters. What other type is there?

So that's either a 4th week of November 1967 or 1977 made in Heerlen, Holland. I'm leaning toward a 1967 because of the ring getter. Anyone else? The delta symbol is more like a right triangle correct? Also, as I've got several Amperex tubes, I've found that I prefer certain variants/dates of...

Someone more knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong here. I believe all Voskhod have the rocket logo as that was the company/plant logo. Also I'm not sure but I think Voskhod never made a -EB/V variant of the 6N23P. I wish they had because I've found the Reflektor 6N23P-EV to be inferior...

Quote: Awesome!!! Thanks for collecting this info. I have a few of these pages bookmarked as well. This should be linked to in the first post here if it's not already.

I was just curious. That sounds great! I just finished a prototype ring guard adapter using acrylic. It looks great with the LED on. This is a very unprofessional mobile phone pic but you get the idea.

A wooden tube guard?

Definitely a nice write up! Thanks!

Haha! I was totally thinking about doing the same thing!
