pretty sure his amps aren't a limiting factor to say the least

 
You noticed  HN "inu" (Head Case) = "inuponken" (Head-Fi)

Nice headphones, thanks for the pictures!  I'm working on a pair of my own too, also inspired my Wachara; they should be finished soon I hope.  Had to order a real CNC, my mostly 3D printed DIY one wasn't cutting it (no pun intended).

What are the pads?

Please make me a pair I pay you long time

Nice work Inup!

Which part or parts did you feel the need for CNC machining?
Just the cups?, or did you also use it for spacers etc?


@Davidsh, they look a bit like Audeze leather pads to me....?

Question wasn't directed at me, but as a previous Audez'e LCD-2 owner I'd say that those are very likely genuine Audez'e pads.
 
Edit: my memory isn't very reliable, but they at least look similar to Audez'e pads.

Thank you to all.
 
No, these are EP-007. Replacement ear pad (lambskin) for the SR-007.
8K yen in JPN but $120-160 in US

so I asked my friend in JPN to HC them when she visiting to US.
 
I used CNC for all parts. I build Shapeoko2 kit for this project.
I didn’t know anything about CNC and CAD so I started from scratch.
 
It is fun to use but noisy…and I pushed emergency stop button for many times.

I have been uploaded photos to my web album but I couldn't put a link on the thread without permission.

I think I need put more posts.​ 

 
Very nicely done headphones, but the question is, how do they sound? :)
 
Did you compare them to any well known headphones? How do they stack up? What is the sound signature like?

  DIY electrostatic headphones can sound very nice. I often compare mine with Stax  SR007 MKII, and  SR009.

I know your measure very well so they must  sound great. How do you determine the tension of the mylar? Was it just trial and error until  you got it right or are there some calculations?
