Any suggestions on cables around 400$ Based on your experience on white ones my friends?

Does anyone know the demensions of the screws that go into the wood cups on the TH900? I bought a pair second hand and when I went to put my new Lawton cups on I noticed the tops of the screws were quite stripped from the former owner.

I figured I would just buy screws that are the same size and replace them.

I found putting lawton cups to replace the reds quite problematic, sent my pair to mark to get installed. course im not a DIY guy

Well the Moon Audio Silver Dragon is by far my favorite around that range, and here’s a shameless plug-in - I recently sold my TH900 so a 4 pin xlr silver dragon available for a fraction of its original price if interested

You can try M2.5 machine screws and just measure the length (I think ~4mm should be ok). I'd just recommend getting proper replacements from full Compass personally

These screws? Or a different set? https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/527846-fostex-8204608115-m2x6-bd-screw-for-th-900-mk1-and-mkii

Wouldn't a 2.5mm wood screw work better for taking off and putting on the cups since it would have wider groves it wouldn't tear up the wood as much?

The part number is 8204453788. You might need to email them directly. Last I checked they didn't actually have it listed online.

Probably. I wasn't able to find a wood screw in the right size when I was looking so I havent tried.

Are these still pretty good in 2022?

I’m itching to upgrade my closed backs next year and have narrowed it down to:

Eikon
LCD-XC
TH-900

Have had Ananda, TH-X00, EMu Teak, and Elear in the past. Currently settled on monoprice m1570 closed since I have to have closed backs now.
