Yeah, I've taken it out and cleaned them up, the headphones are in pieces right now, I might need some help when I go to rewire them to make sure they are done correctly before sealing them all up again!
I've emailed frank regarding some new felt damping rings and a couple of elastics while I'm at it.
Another thing, I usually just plug them straight into my laptop and I thought they sounded fine before, but obviously they are designed for a headphone amp - does anyone have a cheap but solid recommendation for maybe 50-100£ that would drive the 600 ohm load ok? I am not really looking for a portable one, I'd quite like to run my Quad CDP-2 cd player into it via the fixed outputs also so something like a pro-ject headbox 2 or similar, maybe with a bit of weight to it so I don't pull it off the rack moving the headphones (I hear this is quite common with the smaller ones).
Cheers.
I hope frank replies, it's been 2 days now and nothing.
