Darn. Oh well I'll just open up my other phones and choose a sacrifice. In the mean time, could I buy and ortho off you
?

On a more serious note, where can I get some ortho drivers?
Not sure about the AKG K141 but I know I did open a K271 for use as fosterphone and... it wasn't all that pretty to work with.
Yeah, I've had an SFI / AKG K240 Sextett transplant on the backburner forever and the AKG frame is just a pain to work with (which is probably why the project is still on the backburner).
Wow I didn't realize it's been almost two years since I last touched the project... http://www.head-fi.org/t/569510/ortho-transplant-orthosex-sfi-into-akg-k240-sextett-lp-in-progress
This was one of my early forays into transplanting. Looking over it, I'd take out a lot of those cheap foams and use some better acoustic foam instead. But yeah, treble hell. Actually one of the reasons I gave up on it was because I didn't have an amp that could produce any useable volume back then so couldn't do any tuning. I don't really have that excuse now...
I tried out today for the first time a new damping material idea - circular cotton-wool pads for make-up removal. (still including the original foam layer underneath)
You mean the stuff that's usually quilted?
Just an update about my SFI driver transplant into these headphones.

All I can say is wow.
If anyone has access to these I would strongly recommend trying them out. I'm getting a VERY neutral sound out of these drivers now.
Sub bass suffers a bit, but the neutrality for any acoustic recordings is the best I've heard out of these so far.
