Received my screws in the mail to replace the lost or broken screw for my cup. Had to disassemble the right ear cup in order to get the screw in. Fairly easy process and finished (sort of) rather quickly. I did have an issue getting the screw all the way in. It's now stripped and not fully in. Grrrrrrrrrr. But at least it's together.

 Did you order a few spares just in case this happened?

 

[warrior1975]

Yes I did. I'm actually going to order more. The screw and the nut it goes into. Going to order a few of each since it took some time to get to me.

Maybe I haven't been following this thread close enough, but this is the first I've seen of this issue. The screw broke off inside the cup? Did you get any pictures? Sorry if you already went over this but I looked really.

Being a drummer myself i love say the sound of est drums on th900. To clarify when i want to hear a snare drum crack like dry twigs or have nigel armstrong violin solo bring a tear, i can listen to my 846 which really pushes those mids that emphisize those frequencies.

think the th900 reproduces the crack of a snare drum pretty damn well

i feel your pain

 

[Enormal1]

Feel mine too)) I have an issue with sibilliants when paired with Fostex TH-900.

God, this just drives me crazy...It's a problem audible only with some songs but in any formats (MP3, FLAC, DSD). The treble sounds so sharp that sometimes I can't even stand it.

  I do not really know if it's a problem of my DAP as I'm now "on the go" and can't try it with any other source. Guys, need your help or advice or whatever)

 

[Enormal1]

Sorry for not mentioning, the DAP is Cayin N6.

Try it with a other dap/amp. How many hours do you have on the th900?

 

[Enormal1]

About 15-20 hours

 

[Leviticus]

  About 15-20 hours

The sibilants either disappeared completely or my brain just got used to it. Either way, it's not bugging me anymore. I believe the Th-900 needs some time to break in.  

 

[Enormal1]

The thing is that those are not just something you can get used to. It's like someone intentionally says "z,c" over your ear.

i have never had any problems with sibilants. this is so smooth to me and never trying. matter of fact as i previously decribed i seek out 846 to get mid  mid high push that the th900 does not give. I dont find them trying either. Must be the source...? 

 

[Enormal1]

Yeah, probably. As I see, they will either break-in in some time or it's just a not so good pair.

I had the same reaction when I received mine. After breaking in, trying many daps/amps and adjustments in my ears/brain they no longer sound harsh to me. I would break everything in the audio chain in atleast a 100 hours.
