I wonder why it isn't possible for AT to use the same headband-frames from A900x for W1000X/A2000x and so on. 

There are no seperate drivers available anymore. You can try to find some broken DT880's for spareparts or you buy one and use your revox for spareparts. 

Indeed no soundstage king, but still on a level that you don't miss something all the time. 

Read the improvements on their website and you'll know.  

MS2000 or a SR325000 :D was a very special thing. I didn't liked it that much, but I can absolutely understand if other do.   These Magnums, well, that is a lot of money for a better fabricated MS2 /SR325.

Nice to hear that you like this mod!   Quote: Thats a property of the modded superlux housings Nickchen used. Usually isolation and sound leakage is better.  

The problem is this kind of diaphragm on the backside of the driver.     At that time I didn't find a proper material to imitate this diaphragm.   The other difference to DT990/770 driver is the 3mm thick felt in front of the driver.     That's the easy part.

    Quote:   Correct.       Quote:   At least, Beyerdynamic uses the same driver for 990/880/770, but they are using different damping schemes. It is easier to transform a DT880 driver to a DT990/770 but its possible vice versa.   ----   In a few days I will...

Yes, you can make the hole smaller with tape. Just cover hole with tape and then stick a new hole through it.   ...and I have to update the opening post...

The A1 is fix at 100ohm at the headphone output.

I don't know what your are trying to say.

The Beyerdynamic A1 have an impedance output of 100ohms. That tames sharp highs significantly.  But I do not like the overall tonality with 100ohms. I prefer the sound signature with 0ohms output impedance. And thats what most headphone amps have.

Hey Guys,   Did someone tested the newer Audio-Technica pads which come along with A2000x and W1000x on the RP18? Actually I'm using W100 pads and thats pretty close to the W11 pads (except of wearing comfort).

Grado cable... OMG ^^ But it's undeniable that this cable emphasises the 80's look.

For closed-back or approximately closed-back Headphones, Alubutyl is an excellent material to tune with.

Do you have DT770 pads? It doesn't work without. About the felt: take a look in the household section of your supermarket or go to a store with stuff for handicraft.  Polyfill could be a possibility, but I'm not quite sure if its a good idea to reduce the volume of the housings that much...

It's quite complex removing the alubutyl and after that it's destroyed. Soooo, I did not. 

Well, had the chance to spend some time with apatN's monster-housings CB. The treble was a bit too harsh for my taste, but you'll get 2 slices of my magic-purple-felt to experiment with.  The soundstage wasn't so much different to my CB. Sometimes I had the feeling that some instruments are far...

But he can use an analogue Messschieber (english word? don't know), so it is definetely impossible that he could be your son. 

This Akasa Foam is 4mm thick. That is pretty much... 

Well, some new cognitions:   1. when you place your bass-reflex-hole like shown in step 2.5, it makes a difference if you have following cloth     still directly behind the grill or not. The bass-reflex-hole must be even bigger than 4mm when this cloth is still there. To avoid a...

Maybe the solder-connection wasn't impeccable. Had the problem by msyelf as I soldered my 600ohm Systems. It worked and after a few hours the solder-connection just come loose. But Beyerdynamic is very obliging when there are problems.
