Hmmmmmm, interesting.
Maybe first driver pic ever!
ATH M9 (1987)
Looks about the same as the M9X.
I wonder what the differences are.
I think difference is just changing magnets.
Audio-technica changed magnets to neodymium. Dynamic range was extended.
I read some reviews for m9 and m9x, they have similar sound signature.
I think they have similar relationships to sony mdr cd900/cd900st
Another first driver pic ever
Napolex CTX-3
I think CTX-1 is much better.
They said this are carbon coated driver.

Expose of Ibasso SR1 driver
That looks very nice with the biocelly and silicon suspension.
@GREQ
do you know if the original mdr-r10 biocelly driver had a suspension system similar to the above and the Foster drivers or like this (below)
the standard stamped membrane without individual suspension system.
I have never seen a photo without that metal grill on top of them.
From this pic, it looks like it doesn't have it (seperate rubber suspension)

It did not.
The concept of a silicone/rubber suspension is a relatively new 'innovation' for headphones.
AFAIK Sony has only ever made 2 'headphones' with drivers that have suspension surrounds.
• VIP-1000
• PFR-V1
Although, realistically they both use something more like 'normal' miniaturized loudspeaker drivers, and I don't think they should be compared directly with the more modern proper headphone drivers.

Oh forgot to compliment your youtube reviews!
Really had a good few laughs watching some of them.
Couldn't help but wonder if you'll ever review that DX1000
, I bet you don't want to open that up again. Though IIRC you had some pics of them earlier in this thread.Also was cool you did the review on the Beyer Sound JEWEL. The resonance issue can be remedied by those yellow discs to some degree that you see in those vintage Japanese headphones. I believe it's micron glass (according to Sony). But you were dead on about those edt100 pads! I'm using 1540 alcantara on mine.
Also, was shocked by the MINT hd450 II drivers and overall design. Had no idea it was so sophisticated.
Keep it up

I actually don't mind opening up the DX1000 again, it's relatively simple and stress-free compared to some others.
I do plan on reviewing EVERYTHING I own ... eventually... so it could be in the next month or so, or in a year

Looks very similar to my M9X! I have pics of it somewhere in this thread. I think the diaphragm in my one has a slightly greyish tint which would probably be that ceramic coating.
Maybe first driver pic ever!
ATH M9 (1987)
I wonder how the two compare to each other, I remember being very disappointed with the lack of a soundstage. I might mod one in the future as I got two of them~

Oh I got one! and a CTX-1mk2, I should open that one.

Napolex CTX-3
I think CTX-1 is much better.
They said this are carbon coated driver.
Because the CTX-3 looks like a generic paper cone driver
Interesting! I have CTX-1 mk1 also, but driver seems to be bonded to housing very sticky.. So I gave up
I'm looking forward for your job!!

I'll open them up tomorrow morning, alongside another napolex~
