If there is anyone in this thread who will benefit from receiving my surplus of cable connectors and supplies that haven't been used in some years, please send me a PM. If you know of someone that would benefit from this, send me details about them in a PM, that would also be okay.

I'd skip attaching the right side to the left drivers board, just wire it straight to the mini XLR. Those center soldering points are just another place to add heat and make the driver fail IMO. I can't tell the orientation of the mini XLR but based on the ohm reading it seems like your testing...

You could look for a similarly dense foam, and if it ends up being less dense you can put a piece of tape over a few of the holes in the grill to make the inside of the cup more sealed and raise the bass back up to where it should be. If it's disintegrating it's likely not allowing the intended...

If anyone needs a left side driver, let me know. The right side of the pair I have has an intermittent connection and I can't resolve it, so I'm transplanting different drivers into the shell instead, leaving a perfectly functioning left side driver set aside. Shoot me a PM and your address and...

The next pair I modify I will take some pictures showing how the new style should be soldered.

On the right driver you will only be using the soldering points on the outside edges (the locations of blue and gold in this picture). The two soldering points in the center of this picture are simply connecting the red signal from the cable to the signal wire that travels through the headband...

I'll post up in the thread here if I figure that part number out, it would be nice to have a bunch of spares of each of those screws.

Hey everyone, I just realized I still have a very mint condition set of D2000 cups that have been sitting in bubble wrap the last couple years. If I ever do anything with these it'll be for mold making and I'd rather someone put these on their headphones if they're currently using cups in worse...

They're too wide man. I couldn't even fit the 3.5mm connectors into them that I use on my Fostex TH-___ detachable modifications. The plastic is pretty brittle as well, so I don't recommend forcing anything into them. The route I went was pigtails for a couple people that requested detachable...

Hey Hanafuda, I don't mind working on MA900s, I actually just made one detachable and pseudo balanced tonight. The wiring is actually pretty simple, the resistors are built into the boards connected to the back of each driver, so the wires from the cable are simply soldered to the board as they...

Sorry no, I don't think that's something aftermarket cable makers are going to be able to have on their cables, at least not anytime soon.

I'll have him covered soon enough. :ok_hand:

I can't really get into that, I'm an MOT. The other thread you posted in earlier shows some stuff I'm currently working with.

I no longer use Mogami cable unless someone is on an extremely tight budget and just needs something to get by, utility like you stated. But I'm glad they've all held up nicely for you over time. ZMF cables are great as well, I've been able to use a couple during demos over the years.

I tell no lies. But yes, sorry for the missed emails. I do generally only contact through Etsy nowadays and I'm not on Head-fi too much anymore. If you have an open order expect to have it within the month, my pending order list is very short. After that list has disappeared I will take on...

Yes, sorry for the delays everyone. I am working diligently towards being caught up. I understand that it can be frustrating not getting a response for a while and trust me I don't like doing that to people. I get many of those types of messages a day, if I spent the time responding to every...

Hey Everyone,   These last few years has been fun doing modifications and cable builds for everyone. The frequency of orders coming in was not too hard to keep up with until about a year and a half ago, since then I have been having longer and longer lead times, things come up in my personal...

That link takes me to an ended listing, no sign of what it was. He does all kinds of wood stuff, lots of Denon/Fostex cups, VERY nice stuff. I have nothing to do with his productions, AAL is a one man operation.    http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/artisanaudiolab?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Well, Lohb (ArtisanAudioLab on eBay) makes the cups, he just has me assemble, tune, and cable them. Credit to him for the craftsmanship there.

I'll be there but I'm not sure what I'll be bringing. I've thinned down my inventory quite a bit since the last meet I was at. I'll try to put together some interesting things to bring along.

Does anyone here have a broken IE800, a pair with a blown driver or similar? I need a single driver. I emailed Sennheiser about buying one but I'm not sure if they're going to be willing to do it or not. Please PM me if you do or know someone who does.   Thanks

I'm not sure if one of these images have been made or not yet, but here is the pinout for the 4.4mm balanced plug. This is based on the Kimber Kable 4.4mm balanced cable straight from Sony.  

Hey everyone,    I am working on responding to everyone's messages. My son was born 6 weeks early two weeks ago and we just brought him home earlier today. Any delayed responses were due to me being out of the house most of those two weeks. Know that I am working on catching up on that. I...

It's a small groove. The TH-600 cups are made of metal, so the notch is actually more square than on the wood sets I do. PM me.

This wasn't nearly as hard to take apart as I expected.
