still burning my 770 / 25-'s in but they have spades of bass... so much so that the cups resonate! I have lined the cups with dynamat and it has tightened things up considerably. Watched cloverfield at the weekend and whilst the impact doesn't hit you in the chest like my svs sub it was most...

I posted the guy some blutak today.

dude pm me your adress - I will post you enough for 10 times over.

nice! now all you need is a recable, some wood and a beyer headband. oh and some neon flashing lights.

brothers/sisters you have spoken - so far the hfi 780 is winning. I will be ordering the winner in 2 hours... so get your votes in.

I will be pubbling the trigger in 12 hours so chip in :-)

need a second set of cans for movie watching via my av receiver. i can get either of these for roughly the same price - strange as I can get the 2200 for £20 cheaper than the 780.

thank you sir.. there have been some ups and downs and they have taken 2 months to create from start but they are now born.. these are the cans I have been searching for.. I have had hd600/650/580 denon adh5000 - sr60/80 and they all bored me. Thanks goes out to Rob's Dad (engineer who turned...

lol - here you go. Turned from a single piece of Mahogany. Still need the felt for the inside. Used the original grado "Y" piece for the cable split - cable is 5m of XPC OFC Starquad, jack is neutrik. I think cups are a bit too deep for aesthetics, maybe next time I would make them 1cm...

are the gs1000 pads absolutley necessary.. they are so expensive. I do have a set of bowl pads I could use...

I have had some grado sr80's - gave them up due to comfort issues (did enojoy the sound) some hd650's - enojoyed them but sold due to money issues now have hd580's - 600 grills, new cable - nice detail but I think something is lacking.. I use the can predominantly for watching movies...

what about multiple layers of glue lined heatshrink to build up a solid internal brace

I have been searching but can't find anywhere that sells stranded silver cable for a headphone recable.. looking at 24awg (roughly) not silver over copper but pure silver.. 99.99% at least. I need to make a 15foot cable so with 4 braided conductors I probably need 70ft.

next time I would either get some stranded silver wire insulated with ptfe, cover each stranded section with a cotton jacket and braid it... or just go for some cardas 4 x 24

I have seen them, 2 probs.. they look spliced (I wanted to go straight on the pins) They aren't long enough - I need 15 foot also what cable is used? they are certainly cheap!

resized as requested..

definately! I was thinking a lighter would not have enough heat output but that was my problem here.. still happy with end result though. The structural integrity is fine and it holds in the can more solidly than before. For my next one I am thinking maybe cardas 4 x 24 but it is sooo...

whats "hc" mean. the cables are only $15 - if you mess up it aint that much of a loss.

I'll let the pics do the talking.. but i basically exposed the contacts for the connectors using a 1.4mm engraving bit and a dremmel - soldered the mogami 2893 cable to the pins and then filled with two layers of expoxy resin. I then heathsrinked the wires from the y split to the connectors and...

forget all the lost posts etc. good to have you back! I will be posting my new cable build tomorrow. Good work and congrats for not throwing in the towel at 03:00 when you were so tired that you felt sick¬

well I'll talk to myself... wont be the 1st time.. got a 2.4mm engraving bit for my dremmel and it eats through hard plastic so should be good to channel the connectors on the stock cable.. I then decided to get a 1.4 mm bit as this should give me more precision. I have a nice moulded y...
