Gentlemen, is there life after X00?
What would the next step be? ZMF? or maybe the new giant Sony?
I'm probably going to try an Elear at some point.

So it does exist. It's just exceedingly rare and not commercially viable for that reason. And even this new drop is just unsold stock from the original purchase order (hence the fast turnaround.) This discussion on the various types of ebony has been geeky in a good way. But I'm just extremely happy that they're smoothing out quite nicely during the burn-in period and I'm already loving the EBs with just about every genre/artist I can throw at them. Given the limited run nature for the EBs, I'm super grateful to have had the opportunity to buy a pair.Lawton recently had some cups made from pure ink black Gabon ebony. Classified it as their museum grade stuff, and only had one board of it to start out with.
I just noticed that the position of the foam disc was changed on the ebony, based on the pictures on Massdrop. It looks like the disc is in the position referred to as 2/stock plus by @Whitigir in the TH-900 EZ-simple mods thread.
Can someone confirm that the disc position is actually changed on the ebony?
If this is the case, I wonder how much of the sound change is from the wood and how much is from the disc placement.
That's what I've gathered. Or at least the pure black stuff results in a lot of wasted lumber, and that's not profitable anymore.I was wondering about that. Have lumberers harvested that deep black ebony to the point of extinction? Seems like it just doesn't exist anymore.
Mine (SN# 00008) are pretty darn black. My pictures are pretty close to what mine look like IRL. Not sure how the stock they used varied by SN#.
If massdrop picture didn't look black I would have bought some ebonys the dark brown looks nice to me I didn't want deep black. I have mahogany's now.
