Love that my GS2000e is back after being modded for detachable cables. Now that I've put everything else together, I am loving the way they look!
Who did the detachable cable mod and what connector type of it?

This sounds very interesting! I'm wondering about the sound difference!Added additional round Neodimum magnets N52 (the strongest grade) on the back of the driver caps, south pole upwards. I experimented with several sizes and the final verdict was based on the sound quality. I tried 8*2, 10*1, 10*2, 10*3, 12*1, 14*8, 15*1 (diameter * thickness in mm) and the 10*3 worked best. What magnets actually do: they affect the mids and highs and upgraded the resolution, the detail, the sesitivity, and the response speed in that frequency region. An overal improvement, which is far from subtle. With bigger and stronger magnets the mids and highs became too agressive for my taste.
Today I received my Cocobolo/Nhoord build from the master craftsman fleasbaby. One word: BEAUTIFUL!!
What you see at this point are:
fleasbaby cups
Nhoord Red drivers
Beautiful Audio Gray Merino cushions
Future adds are:
Shipibo bead blasted gimbals and rod blocks
Either a Wooden Records or a Spin AF headband
They sound better than they look. Thank you fleasbaby!
Thabks for the kind words!
Here is another fleasbaby masterpiece! I just received it today. Thanks to mgh24 for the cable and initial assembly and to fleasbaby for the beautiful cups and final fitment.

I have Shipibo gimbals and rod blocks inbound. I will post pictures on the R1 thread when it is done.

Holy christ those cups are gorgeous. Does the extra wide face change the interior dimensions at all?
Thanks!Nicely done!
Thanks!
oh btw, "ShipiboAudio" (on Etsy) finally made new stock of cups! Some of them looks fantastic in my opinion.
lol XDAgreed, his stuff does look really nice. Got the best mental image from this sentence in the rodblocks description tho:
"Using EDM technology allowed us to improve the [...] precision of build greatly"
