Sennheiser HD800 pad renovation
Pads worn after some years of use, especially the headband pad with disintegrated, sticky foam leaking out of the fabric. Original pads difficult to find so I decided to rejuvenate the headband pad. Have ordered some third party ear pads, if they don't measure up I'll see if the original pads...- MDR30

My LCD2 started to age and I decided to fix it up. First, flaking pads (only the pleather area): Also the cupholder eating itself into the wood rings: Pads removed with flaking remnants: Cleaned that away and started with the stops, inserted nails at the end stops to prevent further...- MDR30

Thin foam for pads
It seems impossible to find 1,5-2,5 mm open cell grey/black foam for pads and back of drivers, I only found expensive camera foam in England. Does anybody know where this can be bought by the yard?- MDR30

5670 W396a 2C51 6N3P tube thread
This little marvel is starting to show up in many configurations. It's a capable, compact double triode that apparently was designed for tanks half a century ago. I have it in a preamp amplifying low voltage sources to an OTL headphone amp. NOS seem to be scarce, and if anyone is...- MDR30

The Bamboo 6N3P tube preamp
Thought I'd put a little light on this modest preamp you can get for 50 bucks or so. I find it practical to use mp3-players as sound sources, and sometimes their output is far from the 1-2 volts most headphone amps require. So this little device comes in handy for what it is: a preamp. I'm gonna...- MDR30

Sennheiser HD25 repair fixing slipping sliders
Got myself a pair of nice but worn HD25, with loose spring on the adjustable sliders. Extremely irritating with the cups sliding down to their lowest point at every minute movement of the head, and as I didn't find the idea of electric tape on the sliders appealing, decided to try another...- MDR30

AKG K340 in Africa
A most extraordinary thing happened the other day. It was my uncle’s birthday and I browsed through one of his old photo albums.

AKG K4 electret/dynamic classic PICS
AKG K4 Not much has been written about the fascinating electret/dynamic AKG K4, so I thought I’d share some of my findings. First off, this is quite an engineering feat. This headphone was introduced in 1983, I think, and of course it appeared in the wake of the Sennheiser...- MDR30

D2 & Sony sounds great PICS
Hooked up my trusty D2 with Sony headphones and was surprised how good the combo sounds - lively, detailed and musical. Joe's Garage with Zappa that I hadn't listened to for years came to life, as did Dionne Warwick '60s recordings and Sibelius symphonies. The inbuilt amp was more than...- MDR30

AKG K140 explored
Just got this vintage can by mail from Germany. Sounds good plugged straight in, but I'm going to take it apart and clean it. Pads are quite flat and the elastics dead as can be. I understand the pads are obsolete so maybe a little surgery with new foam is needed. They look fine for...- MDR30

Well, I've finally caught the little bugger on photo. In my whole career, in the music and record business, I've never seen this screw in use in studios or by audio aficionados.
