Funny thing... I was sitting here, enjoying a cold one, adjusting the height at the same time I was listening to David Bowie ”Live”. The left side has three dots on the outer of the ”HD650” sign, the right one does not. Is this standard? Could it have to do with braille?

Cheers, that might explain why these feel slightly different.

I do not think the sound was that affected. But I do not listen that often, so it could very well have changed somewhat. I was just surprised that they fitted and felt as they did.

That’s an option too. I think I need to give them a little more time, perhaps mine were worn more evenly than these which compresses in the front.

Anyone else who changed pads recently and found them softer and leaves less ear room? I thought that I should expect the contrary due to less clamping force as I have had them for severaI yers now. Bought the original directly from Sennheiser.

Yes, it is a SME 3009-R and I am using a Ortofon Quintet Black with it.

This and some Dylan tonight.

I am saddened to hear that Phil (pctazhp) has passed away :cry: Reminds you just how fragile life is. R.I.P.

Ah, I see :) Yes, but most vinyl sounds great too. So buy the music you love. Your tonearms seems to be the same model if my eyes does not decieve me, is it Origin or Rega?

The best recording I own who really showcases what vinyl is all about is Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat https://www.discogs.com/Jennifer-Warnes-Famous-Blue-Raincoat/release/7550126 Another good one would be Aaron Nevilles - Warm Your Heart Try to get hold of one of these or the...
