Yeppers.
No problem. I chipped a cup on one of my pairs (sold them) when testing my mods vs. unmodded. He had a cup at my house in two days.
some one should post that on the first post, for referance

when a song has high pitch, something like drum cymbal or vocals(sorry im not audiophile) it creates noise(harshness), its like if you buy a cheap phone and turn it volume up to very very high it creates that kind of harshness, not clean and smooth like it used to be at all,
bass is spot on tho, its just the noise
I'm guessing that because i broke the rubber ring and also the yellow foam loosens between its layers due to excessive dynanamt on the driver housing which creates collision with the foam, its just my guess, here is what was going on:
when I put right ear wooden cup back after mod I notice it was difficult to fit in, I used force to fit it anyway then I found I can't even secure one of the screws where i realize something is not right, it turned out the yellow foam loosens its layers(I thought its a one piece foam instead of bunch thin layers sandwiched together which is what it really is), now the yellow foam has small gaps between its layers, at least its not intact any more
anyway im not a technician I can't say for sure whats causing the noise, my guess is maybe something is vibrating inside, or maybe the rubber ring is not working which creates leakage
"Not having the rubber ring WILL create vibration." At high volume, bass response will vibrates the wooden cups like heck. I know it's really frustrating and time consuming but go back and double check your work. If you say that the rubber ring is broken, I'm certain that that's where the noise is coming from "wood on metal".
Did you glue the rubber ring to the metal frame, or did you... glue the wood?
Well, then I'd suggest gluing the rubber ring to the plastic enclosure.
It shouldn't matter if it's not attached to the bottom half rubber ring anymore, but it's pretty important that you have it in between the wood and plastic enclosure.
Oh, and the yellow fiberglass material is also pretty important to cleaning up the sound. If you take all that off, you'll lose a lot of control and cleanliness.
where is the plastic component? I see black metal ring on wood cup and dark brown metal frame showing on the photo,
for the yellow foam, I still use it but I think it was compressed/collided with force, i emailed a guy who might sell w1000x parts, still waiting..
fresh photos, heartbroken (
the moment i opened it
this is what happened
where I use dynamat glue to "tape" it
:[ I'm sorry to see that, I can imagine the tore in half FiberGlass is the source of that sound. I do had my rubber ring spilt in half... but when I screwed it back together it got all snug again
