I just picked up a pair of Stanton Dynaphase Sixty's brand new in the box from good ol' eBay! Still waiting for them to get to my door, but I'm excited to own a mint 60 and see all it came packed with. I'll keep these just like they are, No modding for these.

So I have a chance to of Bic Venturi Formula 6 Speakers locally for $100. Anyone have any experience with these?   http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/96020-bic_venturi_formula_six/   Link for reference. Only issue with the ones for sell is the dustcaps are pushed in on the woofers.

Quote: Most likely I will just go the factory fresh route. New cabs and I forgot about the caps, so ill need to do that as well.   Love those blues!    

I just may, I need to wait untill I get some more funding, As luck would have it I know a killer woodworker that would do the woodwork dirt cheep. Should I referb them factory fresh or modern them up a bit? I'd love to get my hands on a pair of Blues to go with my Greens!

So here are my poor burhoe speakers, I am really considering re-cabing them. I love their sound out of my old Sony STR-V5

So I'm working on my first re-cable. I'm actually using a pair of car audio interconnects as doner wire, it's silver plated oxy free copper ($12 for 20ft). My main question is dose any one know where to get a good solid 3.5mm stereo female connector? I would like something solid metal silver...

I have dome Burhoe Acoustic Green Series speakers, sound amazing though they look horrid, they have had a hard life although my dad said he had them reconed once. Ill get pics up when I get home. What they should look like

I may give this angled driver a try since I have a ton of space to work with.

I'v got the deathadder and it works wonders for me, My buddy is an mmo gamer and has a naga which increased is apm by quite a bit. I have used logitech in the past and have no complaints.

  Here is the Driver out of a Vintage Stanton Dynaphase Fifty, and the smaller is from a Koss UR-40     Ignore the plexi circle, its another project im working on.

They are altight for the $35 I payed for em. Lots of great bass impact, but it really messes with the highs. They are a fun sounding set not audiophile grade by no means. Good for fps gaming though. My main gripe is they sound artificial and although there is alot of bass impact the bass quality...

I had the same problem, I just asked around and a very nice Head-Fier sold me some. As for the 4ohm ones I don't think they are the bipole type and wont work near the same as the 32-120 verity. Not to mention alot of equipment may not like such a low impedance. You may head over to the...

  Quote:   The SFI's were WAY smaller than the drivers I replaced, so I just fabricated a new baffle and threw out the original one. I actually just got done making a new set for mine out of plexi glass. I was tired of using cardboard lol. The original Paper driver next to one...

Quote: If its anything like what im using then you need to stuff if fairly tight. I have a good softball size hunk compressed in each of my ear cups, but I have huge ear cups on my cans.

\ My twin famicom, Man shipping from Japan hurts.

Im using an old Sony STR-V5 on mine, but it puts out around 3(ish)w on the hp out. I wish I could just go build an amp for these. Sulvaat I envy you on that . I would love to build a Compact Tube Hybrid amp for mine. I'v got alot to learn befor that part of my DIY life starts.   Hope you...

 Quote:  What dose the distortion sound like, When I tried to get mine to distort my bass just went all flat and "bwaaaaa" like (That's a very technical term FYI). It wasn't the typical static crackle or popping. They were above my "rocking out" level and I'm use to like 150db loud.

Ill give that a shot, I have a pair or orcas so I can try the pads and see how they sound. The Stanton pads just seal sooooo well. Thanks for the info Sulvaat!   My next plan was to start covering the holes one by one, and note the results, But Im sure the cup could use a bit of reinforcing...

Ok so playing with my SFIphones, I have some issue. What I seem to be missing is that High end sparkle and I guess the separation in the mid range (instruments seem to run together) I get better results by reducing the eq in the bass section. Anyone know a good damping method to help bring out...

  Quote: The sound is identical to the carcharias. My buddy has the headset and I own a pair of orcas. I'm quite happy with the orcas, in the $40ish price range they sound quite good, very warm, clean, good bass to boot. But alas I have no experience with the others. Just dont dog the...

Quote:   I guess I succeeded, lol. I wish I had a better Hi-Fi word base to describe what im hearing, They are nice for a first go but still lacking something.

When I get my Sfi's sounding sharp I'll prolly send em in,would like to see how they stack up against the fostex drivers.

  Quote: Im currently at work so i can't take a pic at the moment, poly fill is like pillow stuffing, not like feathers, think fake cobweb for halloween. I used it alot in custom car audio subwoofer boxes.   Link http://www.amazon.com/Acousta-Stuf-Polyfill-1-lb-Bag/dp/B0002ZPLDY...

Oh ya that is a cardboard baffle all right!     Perhaps we should start a new thread in the DIY section? "SFI Bipole Builds" ?

Well I just got started on my SFI project, (I'll get some pics up later). On my first attempt I have made some very bassy cans. The sub extension is great! they will shake the Stantons cups nicely. I tried a car audio method of a sealed baffle and stuffed the cup tightly with poly fill. I'm...
