Lucky you have access to something like that. Use it while you can
it's really nice to see this thread staying upfront again, seemed to linger in the background for a while. I have a few projects in some drawers that need attending to( some yamaha drivers, russian drivers, even and SFI or two !), and after dragging out the AT-701 banded Alder SFIs again I need to hit those projects up.
hard to believe actually the sound you can get from these things in the right dampings and housing
Wish there were more people involved in this, absolutely love seeing things in the DIY area.{ where's all the new blood??? }
Any thoughts on a shell for those drivers Gurubhai?
thanks, I know have that set of unused padauk from the original if you would like to tinker

. I have a set of cheapo fake 'Beats Solo' on order from ebay. The cups seem to be similar to HP50 and I am hoping that I'd be able to get by with a similar mod for the yhe50 in this shell. Let's see if that works out first.

That reminds me of another idea that I never got off the ground: get a Beats Studio and replace with small ortho drivers, then replace the ANC circuit with a small amp.
Why bother sticking the amp in there, I'd rather use that cup space for damping...
For Yamaha orthos I think these are cool wooden cups if someone wants to do a transplant.

If you cut across the outermost circle of holes the driver should fit perfectly. Also closed wooden cups should work perfect.
