those look great man.
Did anyone ever make a pad attachment rig for these? my suede eikon pads are pretty much ruined from the adhesive that are used on these and before I put my new hybrid zmf auteur pads on, I would prefer not to use the adhesive rings or double sided tape

I don't know, i never felt i needed to swap pads, i find them comfy so i never searched for any.

PockyG made a design for a pad adapter and a fazor with a pad adapter. Thingiverse is currently undergoing maintenance at the time of this post, but it should be up soon.

Regular pad adapter

Fazor with pad adapter

whats the verdict on fazors with the m1060c?

i was actually looking at these on shapeways, I cant tell for sure but it looks like its got enough lip for a pad.
https://www.shapeways.com/product/C...-fazor-individual?optionId=110418917&li=shops

what do you think?

Edit : Well I got confirmation that there is a lip for pad swaping and ordered my fazors
I dont want to screw up my new pads and want to be able to pad swap

E1DA PowerDAC V2 balanced DAC/amp going excellently with 1060C openback for electronic music.

What a steal.

Another member told me its Vinyl Compressor filter (Android app) makes the soundstage wider...not even got to its EQ abilities yet.
Hope my incoming planar IEMs go well with it too.

Price? Can you buy it on that website too?
On aliX (just click reviews), https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000078625548.html?spm=0.8937474.0.0.6dec2e0etnzio0
Will need the Y-split cable bundle if running it off a phone, as its very power hungry....1% battery reduction a minute, or something like that.
I just run it off macbook air plugged in mains....there are EQ preset bundles on the appreciation thread...not sure if there is a 1060C preset.
I find it perfect with no EQ anyway....also there is free Audeze Reveal plug-in for Audirvana+ pretty great for subtle tweaks using audeze gear presets by clicking the photo of various audeze gear...just a case of finding what sounds "right" to you...the separate "wet dial" on Reveal gives it a silky tubey veneer.

A new look with some printed wood rings and local aluminium "tuning grille" pressed by hand to fit. It is pressed to come a little in into the middle, but also to get support from inside the cup and to press against the fazors so it won't be loose and can't be pressed inwards. I mean the grille is about flush with the rings.

I just did this to have something to do in the holidays. They came out pretty nice too, I like this look a lot.

What printer do you use. My wife just bought me a mp select mini pro for Christmas so I can start doing my own prints. Hopefully it’s good enough. Your prints look great

That orange looks so good too! What did you use behind the grille?

I have Creality CR-10S as my printer. But I am positive you can have anything if you have your settings right, in the g-code and on the printer (no loose in the axis' and bed in the right tolerance) you can get good print quality.

I chose CR-10S as it was good quality printer, it operates through SD-card so I can have it independent from PC etc. And I could buy it from Finland with very decent price.

did some mods to the m1060c and really digging them. Opened them up and fixed the soundstage. Bought some dekoni pads but they are just a bit big. anyone know a pad that actually fits the m1060c?
