Sexay.

(Meanwhile: Why is USPS tracking so god-damned awful? My headphones are...somewhere! Yup! They definitely still exist, in the sense that they retain both volume and mass. As far as location goes...)

I've just ordered my low profile, full size mushroom style cups in Hawaiian KOA and 5ft of Black Silver Coated Copper cable from Martin

Can wait till the end of January when they should arrive and I can modify my SR80i's.
 
Photos will follow once I have done the mods

Anyone with Koa yet? I think my next pair would be Koa with Symphones and detachable jacks.



Hawaiian Koa is pretty readily available I believe (one of the most common trees on the island), I make beads for my IEM cables out of the stuff.
 
Here is what it looks like, the flash completely kills the nice burl. I hope I'm allowed to post this just for informational purposes. 
 

 
From what I can tell Marty handpicks the wood so if you were to get Koa it'd be a real nice piece for sure. I think he's actually on my pair of cups (Mahogany RS-1's) right now as well as a set of Magnums!

Hey guys! Have you seen Martin's blog update?!  The 4th Jan one!  Mine is nearly done and I got an email from him saying it should be sent out soon!  FWJ is going to be great!
