Are those oem pads?
Chinese and they do the trick.Are those oem pads?
Hi again,
Thanks for your answers about the differences between the mk1 and the golds.
Sorry for the offtopic, but I’m also interested in other two models:
AKG K240 DF
BEYERDYNAMIC DT-880 from the ‘80
Differences sonically with the HD540 mk1?
My preferences is transparency, detail and soundstage.
Thanks!
I own the 1980's DT 880 600 ohm 'standard' (Don't get a modern one!) the studio and monitor have greater frequency ranges on top - You certainly don't need any more frequency response than the 'standard' modelThanks for the answer, Jon Parker!
Last thing:
Do you recommend any version in particular of the DT880 (‘80)? More or less ohms or version like 880S or another in particular, maybe the 600ohm?
Thankyou!!!
I have 2 sets of these pads on the way https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Replac...D250-HD540-HD560-HD560II-Headset/231402542368 probably based on a suggestion from above.
Those tubes don;t look like they have the same center pin as what the Lyr 3 uses
My preferences is transparency, detail and soundstage.
Now that's a good sign! Close To The Edge can be ..... edgy ... and thin ... so if you can go through that excellent album and relax, them's good toobs. I have amassed a bit of a valve/tube collection too, but have nothing left now to pop 'em into. Kept all the goodies, including the Amperex Orange Globe 1968 6DJ8s (for the Valhalla 2) that were recommended to me by Tom from Schiit. They'd be great with the HD700/800 cans but too much of a good thing with the upgraded Ref1s. Glad you're enjoying the Lyr 2.Last night I switched out the LISST for the Tung-Sol 6NS7, music has been playing through it for 24 hours or so. Last night I listened to Close To The Edge after about 2 hours of being the tube being on and it was sublime. Not a lot of time with the HD 540s tonight but I certainly can hear an improvement over the LISST. I'm not one for trying to describe what I hear, listening to a Radiators SBD from 6/12/99 as I type this. The presentation of the music is so good, everything is just where it needs to be, can close my eyes and pretend I am at the show.
I did order a 6SN7gt Ken-Rad Tube *Flat Black Plates*1950* from e-bay today so it looks like my recent vintage headphone obsession (5 pairs in about 2 months) is morphing into a tube obsession

Are you talking about the net with the pads, or the outer foam cover between the rear of the driver and the capsule outer? The latter should be fairly straight forward by capsule disassembly. If you're talking about the inner cover that comes with the pads, it ought to be fairly easy too, provided any fungus hasn't infected the drivers themselves.
I am going to have to find replacements for the outer foams on my Ref1s soon, one of them is starting to deteriorate. I'd prefer originals if possible, though there could be a viable alternative, even within the Sennheiser inventory. Anyone?
