Hi all! This is my 1st post in desperation!

Im currently in the process of modding some Audio Technica es7's, using this as a guide -Does It Pew?: DIY HiFi Orthodynamic Portable Headphones (aka Ribbon Driver Headphones) im sure a few of you have heard about it? its gone down a storm! because of this there seems to be none of the 32 ohm tweeters anywhere!! its literally the last bit i need (and most important)! no amount of google searching has resulted in anything!

Does anyone know where these can be found?/anyone have any??
HELP PLEASE!
 
Im from the UK if that makes a difference!

Thanks all

Try the 120 Ohm ones instead

Yup.  There should be a German seller who has some of the 120 ohm variety.  I would have bought, but seller did not ship to the US.
 
Good luck!
 
EDIT:  I found this seller on ebay.de

 

[chriss88]

im no expert! so please tell me-what difference would the 120ohm have over the 32ohm?!

 

[goodvibes]

The 120 ohm are closed back and won't make bass.

Arent the 32ohm ones bipolar as well?

 

[goodvibes]

32 are, 120 are not.

 

[chriss88]

oh i see :/ hmmm
 
what about 80ohm?

 

[wilzc]

I use the 120 ohms, they're bipolar.

My apologies, it must have been one of the low impedance units that I was thinking of. No reason not to use it.

Actually, there seem to be a lack of bipolar units (of both the 30 and 120ohm variety) nowadays in the US, and the ones in Germany are iffy at best. Before buying, make sure they are bipoles. And please tell us if they are. I need like 8 more.

I bought a couple from Germany, and at one time had a pair that came from a US seller. Is there a major difference between the SFI drivers coming from different places? There a reason you say the German ones are "iffy at best"?
 
In both cases, I was using the 120 ohm bipole version

 

[wilzc]

They're all japanese

They're bipoles you say? Where did you buy them?
