100+ Head-Fier
I knowingly got a pair of K500's that have a small distortion problem on the left driver. I then got a working driver from another head-fi member. Today, I took the left side of my K500 apart, only to realize that the drivers are slightly different (same size and whatnot, but some very noticeable differences). So, I'm wondering if the "original" driver was even a K500 one, if it was from a different batch, or what... I'm a bit weary of trying to solder it in there.
So, in the middle of my "original" driver, there are 6 plastic lines radiating out from the center. As far as wires go, there's a white and a red wire on opposite sides of the driver.
In the driver that I received from a head-fi member, there are 12 plastic lines radiating out from the center. The wires are red and black and are next to each other.
If you have a K500, which do you have? You can judge by the number of little black plastic lines radiating out from the center of the driver, which you can see if you look in the very middle.
Should I bother trying to replace it, or would it sound completely different?
Would AKG have a pair of drivers that would fit in there (K40x/50x/60x/70x) available for cheap?
Thanks!
