Thanks for the words of encouragement adyula, at the moment Im looking at the Valhalla by schiit, but dropping that kind of cash makes me apprehensive :/

bump

bumps?

Thanks for the input.   I have found a thread which details people's experiences with the Schiit, and I like what I hear. I hope to find more input especially regarding DIY experiences

Thanks for the replies, they are very much appreciated. As of now they have roughly 50 hours on them. When I was using my Grados they started sounding better at this point, so I had assumed they were edging their way. I will keep burning them in, with hopes the harshness goes away. For the most...

Howdy all,    I have been a lurker for the past year and a half and finally,after having looked through the nooks and crannies of this forum, I can't find an answer to my specific question.   I just bought my first super serious set of cans,the AKG K702. Currently I am powering them...

Hi all, I was wondering if there had been any progress on this amp over the past year?   O am interested in DIY amps and I was wondering what were some recommended source of information. I really hope this amp come to fruition!

Quote: I was wondering if you could pm me what address you shipped it to? I was also wondering when they were shipped to have a timely approximation of when to expect them

Have they been shipped yet?

Oh please please, let me be a beta tester, they look spectacular!

How are the liberators coming along? An update would be awesome, can't wait for the good's

If anyone has a pair of caliers we can measure the thickness (outer radius- inner radius) of the casing around the driver, one could see if the liberators will fit the housing. If it does, then any grado cushion should be able to be mounted on the HF-2. Quote:

thinking about making it a complete assembly?

Ah gotcha, I was reading that the wider distancers (about 41mm as opposed to 40mm in radius) didn't have as good of a sound (this could be due to the outward expansion of the waves causing reflections and possibly diffractions in the distancer) and the felt helped fix this (possibly by absorbing...

Haha, sorry my mistake, how did they slide over the cups?

Quote: Are you sure you sure that they are the liberators, I may be confused but I think you mean these:

Im starting to get really excited out these bad boys

I just saw the beta pic and they look very promising, keep up the good work!

Ntropic, Idk if you kepts the box the grado's came in, but if you are crafty enough, you can mold the foam from that in the box, I saw a thread here that did that, not the best looking, but apparently they worked well enough   NickChen: Yea, I can see where working with wood is unpleasant as...

Idk, carbon fiber seems like just a reason to say "I have carbon fiber" I too am an engineering major (Aerospace) and well this carbon fiber thing doesnt seem very cost effective

Any news? sorry i am just so anxious about these

hahaha, carbon fiber, now how expensive would that get, and from an engineering stand point, im not sure how effective that would be over normal wood, care to enlighten us? Not question you or anything I just want to see the thought development

Hey there, I was wondering if you had made a decision on whether or not to make the liberators
