All Activity

This is outstanding Birgir! I think you were already doing this or talking about it back when I was active, but this is a whole other level! Also, I took a peek at your site. How do you have so many Stax sets for sale!?!? Did you buy an abandoned factory and get lucky or something!?

I'm using Comfort fabric softener and it works well. Whether it will hold up long term... that's a whole other matter

New rings/spacer for new diaphragm, thicker rings for dust covers suggests that new mylar will be also used - that should give different results in tonality, very interesting project. Maybe your experiment will push me to mod mine 009. As for the hole in the stators, its purpose has me curious as well. I do not remember if I ever asked your here for this - can you share what you are using for coatings? Licron?

Forgot to mention, my oldest son is turning 10 this month and we are throwing him a One Piece themed B-Day party... I'm going to run a One Piece themed game for him and 4-5 of his friends. SUPER NERVOUS! Ten year olds are harsh critics, lol. Also a little rusty, but I used to be quite good, so we'll see what I can come up with. EDIT: HA! You can double post here, excellent. Suck it Head-Fi!

That's awesome. I've played in a few of the 'Role with Pride' games through TorontoDnD and they are usually better than the 'regular' games tbh. I usually play female characters, always have, and nobody says boo or expects my character to be a half naked pornstar in a chainmail bikini... its refreshing. Also, hey Steve!!! Missed you buddy. I still show off your woodwork with pride, though since covid, I have less people to show it to. I miss showing off my wood. 😕 EDIT: Oops, didn't realise I was resurrecting a 4 year old thread.

Seems very much of the times.

The drivers are genuine, there is just no way to reuse the stock rings so I had to have my own made. The 009 diaphragm rings make zero sense too as there is no way to solder to them so PCB's here make a lot more sense. Plus more insulation as the stock setup is not ideal. The stators and the case will be stock and I went for slightly thicker rings for the dust covers to add more compression to the drivers. I'm also going to replace all the o-rings with better units. One thing I want to do as well is plug that hole in the center of the stators. I don't understand the reasoning behind it and it might be one of the reason why the 009's sound so bad.

Wake up babe, the GabeCube just dropped.

True, any modifications you make there won't allow you to predict results on genuine drivers. But I’ll still be interested in your work.

They will have new diaphragms so they will be tonally completely different.

Ah, ok, so mods for cables. I was wondering if you found a way to trim tonality of drivers a little.

For the cable entry as a prototype but probably milled once I'm happy with the piece. The drivers will be fitted with new diaphragms and dust covers (as they were shot on this set) so that means PCB's for that plus a new way to fix the earpads in place.

I would like to see your ideas about fixing SR-009 drivers. Are you going to use some 3D printed parts?

I know they are canceled, but every now and again I still like to revisit the sheer lunacy of Die Antwoord. This was the anti- ritual circumcision PSA.

Thanks. :) More hopefully on the way soon plus maybe some speakers

Thanks all. Hope all is well with everyone! Trying to start a program related to my headphone correction research back in the day actually.

Thanks!

I used a 3M (Adafruit) thermally conductive adhesive tape. Mouser 485-1468 (80x80mm sheet).

What is the favored method for affixing the heatsinks to the output transistors? After years on the shelf, I’m finally getting around to assembling this. 🤓

Belated Happy Birthday to you both! Hope the days were great!

they looks cool
