I have a question in terms of modding an SR-200 or Sr-300.
Let's say I can land an SR-200 with black star drivers, will I have an HP-1000 on my hands if I simply put the drivers in an aluminum housing?
I love the HP-1000, but the going price is $1500 or so, whereas an SR-200 is around $400 to $500. I don't really care for the lettering and stuff, I just want that sound.
But of course, it's still a very pricey decision.
Any thoughts?
i've never heard either but i've read nothing but good things about them
i have liberated the drivers from several older sets of pink drivers
keep in mind every time you liberate a driver you take a chance on damaging it
the older drivers don't come apart as easily as the newer ones
the solder pads dry out and sometimes pop right off rendering them useless
that being said i dunno if you'll get the sound of an hd1000 but for 500 bucks you'll get a good taste
the blackstar sr200 is still a bargain at $500.00 and a great headphone but imho not a good modding candidate
unless you're really good and want to take the risk the sleeves are out there and you'd probly need a donor sr325
good luck
