Stax sr-009 replacement earpads

[spacemusic]

Hi
Can anyone recommend low priced replacement pads ( and where I can purchase them ) that will fit my 009 headphones.
Original pads are around $150 and are stated not to be real leather !
I live in UK and any help will be welcome - Thanks.

A few comments on that topic:
- It is generally not recommended to replace the pads on a 009 yourself as I was told by a Stax representative as it is hardly doable if you don't have the right (special) tools.
- The actual 009 pads actually are real leather (at least the part that touches your skin).
- Why would you cheap out on ear pads on a headphone like the 009?
