Assimilator702 said I still plan on doing some light mods to my 4XX to improve the bass so if it doesn't work out I'll put them up for sale. Not sure if you answered somewhere else but what mods (for bass mentioned but curious about any you deemed nec) were you exploring? thx

Did you try any of the Ori's before going with Auteur's? also, which material for your Auteurs, thank you

& yet the trp series can still be very good with varying degrees of "openness" [20, 30, 40], yes? Is there no chance at all, if not the Grado drivers themselves, but their other variants, Symphones, Nhoord, Epsilon / Ypsilon, Alessandro, etc might also sound "good" with varying degrees of...

Are those discs to close the grados?

v8 are really good so am certain 8.1 will be as good or better. By NC value, do you mean the gcodes? If you have them, would you be so kind as to share? thank you

This exactly. Yes, please. I am in precisely the same position (sr60 + sr225 + cups). Except in mine also have a pair of V8s (not 8.1 sigh but still very good) & wood cups are 7keys excellent work & the metal cups are c6s rhydon put together. Really any recommendations would be most welcome

Agreed, his stuff does look really nice. Got the best mental image from this sentence in the rodblocks description tho: "Using EDM technology allowed us to improve the [...] precision of build greatly"

Holy christ those cups are gorgeous. Does the extra wide face change the interior dimensions at all?

Would you mind sharing the file for the plates by any chance? Or could we possibly buy a set of printed plates from you?

At full price, these are a bargain. 30% off is stupid value. Thx very much for the code. Don't have access to FR charts atm but my understanding is they are outperform anything in the SR range below say a 325. Where it becomes more comparable but with a different sound If more experienced...

nvm dbl post

Is part of that potentially that they need less "work" to get off & running? My understanding for the m560s is: pad swap, adjust clamp to fit, possibly modded / new strap & periapt cable heh = you're g2g. Also b/c their ceiling is a little lower they are less picky about paired amplification?

Just out of curiosity, which are some of the reviews about the magni 3 that state "it compresses the sound and has jitter"? thx do they have measurements?

Did you try the 400i stock or pad rolled?

Is consensus for pad rolling HM5 angled, whether lambskin, pleather or hybrid velour?  For folks who aren't happy with the headband's comfort stock: 1) Sennheiser HD 6xx/600/650 band pad glued on or zip tied, like I did. 2) ZMF makes a super trick, hella comfy Pilot Pad, avail in lambskin or...
