I received these yesterday from Fleasbaby!

They're easy on the eyes, no?

I'm still waiting on other parts (Shipibo Gimbals, Nhoord drivers, Turbulent Labs headband, Sennheiser HD800 jacks). I'm going to demo both Nhoord and Magnum drivers to see which sound best in these cups.

@DavidA

Can we do Scarlett mod to nhoord red v2

Plus, what are the advantages of the mod.


And I was also thinking of adding a 9mm custom liberator to nhoord setup(as driver is 2mm liberated already by manufacturer)

@dhruvmeena96, the Scarlett that I had from Jaco was a Red V2 that had 3 vents open and there was dynamat on each side of the vent holes and more dynamat on the back of the magnet housing. To me the opening of vent holes made the bass go a bit deeper but you need the dynamat to add some damping to keep the bass from getting muddy/uncontrolled. I've given the Scarlett build to my son a while ago so I don't remember much about how it sounded.

Just finished my nhoord build,very pleased with the results at this early stage.Will compare them with my RS2e when I have more hours on them but very promising already.

Very nice! That cable is gorgeous. Did you make that yourself or did you purchase it somewhere,

Made it myself using VanDamme XKE miniature starquad vintage braided cable,neutrix gold connector,and some shaped wood for the yoke.Should be able to pick up the vandamme cable in the US,quite cheap by the meter.

I just finished this build last night. Nhoord Red ver.2 drivers, walnut cups are from Fleasbaby, black ceramic coated gimbals and rod blocks from Shipibo Audio, black padded leather headband, Sennheiser HD800 cable connectors. As I had expected, this headphone sounds fantastic!

Love the build, particularly the the attention to detail. ES100 pairs well with almost everything I’ve heard. You’re going to like the G and L pads, they make a really noticeable difference

What is a Vever headband?

What is a Vever headband?

It is the cheapest one in amazon, cause I burned the original with a soldering iron

Thanks, These are the third cups I made.
Didn’t knew about the ES100 (now I want one ), only have two cheap receivers one is MPOW the other Friencity the MPOW sounds a little better)

Does anyone have recent experience contacting Nhoord? I ordered from them a week ago but haven't heard anything back and was wondering if anyone knew if they were alright. Nevermind, they got in touch and everything seems fine

Beautiful! The laser engraving is a great touch .

Yeah, he's based in South Africa, and the lockdown for COVID is pretty intense there. They should be lifting some of the restrictions over the coming weeks though.
