Im in kirkland  WA and would like to participate in the tour. I agree to follow the terms of the tour.

is anyone bringing an AT r70x?  or an elear?  or a stax ?

anyone know how to release the front section with driver so as to gain access to behind the driver? it seems the white section stays with the black outer plastic section and it comes off as one? how is that pair released ? apparently they simply pull straight out? seems quite secure in my case...

hello good sir !,yes they are turned inside out ! good eye. then some spandex stitched to the back to serve as an attachment mechanism to the cups leading rim.....I think they are akg 240's? or some other replacement pad. They where under $10 and are just about the right size imo.   the Foam...

    This is what i've got at this point. Angled driver, diy pads, and a 'central foam column ' mod. I'd recommend trying this should your particular set be dominant in that area.             

too busy, but chose 4 sets and hope to mess with them soon.....

just to chime in here with some updated sound reports f​rom the f​rontlines.....I've heard 3 sets of​ the drivers and am enjoying them. I still need to diy f​abricate some proper pads and so f​inal impressions can only come at that point. What i've noticed is quite a nice degree of​ consistency...

here's what I've got as far as grub screws (put 4 in for each cup but probably only need/use one, to just put pressure on the driver edge and driver the entire driver tight to the remaining sides of the cup). I will probably still try and size the overall lip opening to be a press fit although...

    the naming of each corresponds from left to right in the pics       Spent a couple hours searching ebay for some suitable pads for the standard grado style cup, as an alternative to the typical foam. All these need to be modded particularly on the back to decrease the attachment...

@fleasbaby You should be able to get the allen set screws to work fine even on the angled lip of your last cup. Just use a drill press with the cup clamped in proper position to drill the guide hole. Or a super steady hand drill as long as you remain square with the driver edge and disregard the...

@speedking....great namesake by the way!! deep purple fan? In any case, you are lucky to have a set of H's come your way. Let us know what you think of them in comparison to the ypsi's. I have not heard the H's but have played with the nak7 driver which is the same as what joe used. He had the...

 general categories of modding opportunity:     1) the driver to cup 'coupling' and the size and density of the front section. Basically one has the choice of sticking with the stock RS style grado cups where the pad hangs on by that little rabbet/recess and the front section is more/less the...

I've got some of that adhesive backed bandage tape. Good idea to use it for the driver covers. it might affect the treble however. at least the variety I've got in front of me....I was using it applied to the back of driver -outer ring of vent holes....had some good affect there.   jav's cups...

world class pepku. Nice! How's the sound?
