Stax Lambda Signature Caseholder
Would need some spare caseholder(s) to fix my Lambda Signatures. Could also be a complete headband assembly.- stratocaster

Earbuds Round-Up
FYI, some measurements of buds I own. Measured on my DIY measurement rig, most probably not comparable to measurements on other systems. I am providing this to give you some visual information on differences of the buds on this very measurement system. All measurements taken with Cygnus...- stratocaster

Grado modders go Magnum
There is one thing I would definitely change about the V6 drivers and that is the lack of a protective mesh over the front of the driver. Even if you are careful, dust eventually settles inside the driver and in combination with the stuff Rhydon uses to "coat" the diaphragm with, these particles...- stratocaster

The Tascam headband (taken from a set of TASCAM TH Series TH-MX2 in my case) cannot be used on standard Grado-sized cups, which (at least my 325i metal cups) have an outer diameter of about 55mm. So the Tascam gimbals will be a little too large to fit. I made custom cups with an outer diameter...- stratocaster

Press-fit, but I have to admit that I am not a strong believer in the different wood, different sound stuff. Other variables (pads, cup depth, cup diameter, resonance reduction through damping, no air leakage between driver and cup[less sub-bass] etc.) are more important to me.- stratocaster

Honestly, I do not know. I would be sceptical though. Mine absolutely needed the foam ring below the pleather in order to get the bass boost under control. The foam ring has the effect that it ensures a slight leak, which is necessary to ensure bass extension as linear as possible. I have...- stratocaster

I am using (p)leather pads (which come with MiHeadphones by Xiaomi) glued on a foam ring cut off a used L-cush: Using pleather pads instead of leaky Grado ones I have to use internal damping to balance out the FR. Below you will find a pic with the damping materials I am using. I...- stratocaster

Grado modders go Magnum
So, I have been finalizing my V6 build, and below you will find measurements. It certainly can't get any better for me. I have tried the usual approach, having them in an open cup with (aftermarket) L- cush. For me, unmodded there is too much of a U-shape, although the mids and highs are...- stratocaster

These. The V6 have replaced the Turbulent X (V5) drivers. The highs of the V6 are smoother.- stratocaster

Just a quick glance at some initial measurements: Stock V6 with Flats: Strong bass (to be expected with 3 vents open), very nice midrange without any 2kHz shout, extended highs Modded (damped plus hybrid leather pads) - looks kinda like HD800 FR now @Rhydon: Very well done! I...- stratocaster

I still had some wood lying around, so I decided to give my V5 drivers a final home and I guess this will be my last wood build: Karelian Birch with Rosewood inner sleeves and Ebony lids, hybrid pads (Grado l-cush plus Mi Headphones by Xiaomi pleather pads on top), Tascam headband. I am still...- stratocaster
