  Hi All,
 
Just want to give some update. Changed the pads on Purpleheart to HM5 Angled sheep skin.
 
Soundstage widen, lost a bit of bass. Lost the TH-X00 Signature of tight and compact sound.
 
Switch back to original pads after 1 hours of listening. Feel much better with original.

Sounds like it's because of the plastic disc in the original earpads more than anything else.
It's the same story with the Dekoni pads, so I cut out the same shape from the cardboard from a cereal box and everything is back to normal.

AviP, Thanks for the advice. Will go try it out.

Posted this in the other thread. Just got around to modeling the TH pad mounts:

Nice! What material is that? ABS? PLA?
The big question is, how flexible are they? Mounting pads on these rings can require some serious bending...

I print in PLA, just because I can't be bothered with ABS
 
The PLA is flexible enough. I fit a MSR7 pad on the printed one just now and it didn't seem to have any problem.At the very least, now that it's modeled, breaking is no big deal

This will do the same job as the cardboard?

No, that is something else. The cardboard I was referring to is used as the equivalent of the rings you can read about in this post (he refers to it as a tuning plate).

If anyone has swapped to E-MU cups, can you let me know if you guys used the shorter screws included with the E-MU cups or the longer round ones that are stock with the Fostex cups? Thanks!

I just used the ones that were already in the X00.

Welps... hope I didn't strip the holes then...

AviP, Thank you for the link. I understand now.

Nah, I'm sure your fine. I actually wished I used the new ones. My stock screws are somewhat stripped and need some extra effort to get off.
 
Btw, what EMU cups did you choose?

I have the rosewoods.

is T90 Chrome and a Sony MDR-1A trade for my THX00, a good trade?
