I sense another S FL meet sometime next year.

Well, I finally got it and what a pain in the ass it was. Stretching the pad over the headband was the tricky part and pretty time consuming at that. Spritzer, I think I may have stripped one of the screws ever so slightly but it still had some bite so I think I'm good. I appreciate all the advice guys, thank you. Gary

Thanks guys, I'll use the info and investigate further.

I need to change the headband pad on my HE90 but I've never actually done it before. Can anyone here talk me through it so it makes sense and I don't break something? I think the cups have to come off but I'm not positive. Any help would be appreciated, Gary.

Sorry so late Wayne, Happy Birthday buddy.

Just FYI, as of about 2 month ago Senn USA does have these pads in stock if anyone is interested. The headband pads have gone up to $44 and the ear pads are now $195.

Happy Birthday buddy, miss you like crazy.

Happy Birthday Al, sorry so late. Gary

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. Can't wait for the next S FL meet so we can see some old friends and make some new ones. Gary

I'll call Dwight after the holiday and go from there. Appreciate all the responses, thanks. Gary

Sorry I couldn't respond sooner guys and thanks a lot. I'll PM you, Gary.

Thanks John, just wanted to check over here but after checking again over at Head-Fi I'm not so sure this is possible.

A few years ago JMoney Audio was going to produce HE90 headband/earpads in leather but it never came to fruition. Has anyone ever produced these in leather, or does anyone have a source for Sennheiser originals; specifically headband pad? When I checked a couple years ago Sennheiser no longer had these available and it seems JMoney gave up on the project. Sorry if this sounds silly but I've been out of the loop for a while, so any info is appreciated. Gary

We'll do it again soon Vicky.

I had a blast guys and it's a good thing I don't live closer to FB's! Let's do it again soon, Gary.

See you at noon.

I'll be there Mike.

So this is where all the cool people hang out nowadays huh? I really wanted to come tonight guys but just couldn't make it due to work. John are you doing the 11:00 get together at the FB tomorrow still, because I could definitely be there. Take care guys and let me know John, I'm off tomorrow. Gary

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Mike,but I'd like to invite Jeremy from the last meet if it's o.k. He's more of a speaker guy,but very open to the headphone thing.You guys know the rig,Gary.

I haven't yet heard the A10 so can't help in that regard.I can however tell you that the diffuse soundstage and sloppy bass that Spritzer speaks of has been mitigated greatly since going from the Egmont/HEV90 to the Aristaeus.I only really understood these criticisms after living with the Aristaeus for a while.It exposses just how soft,sugary sweet and rounded off the Egmont and especially the HEV90 are.The bass is much more controlled and the sound much more authoritative than the others,without any loss of treble extension.Some may feel it's a little too revealing because I use an SCD-1 but I just love it's honesty.The Aristaeus sounds like a solid-state amp in my system since changing from the stock tubes and it really is the sound I've been looking for without spending $6000+ on an amp.Gary

Jude has heard the HE90's on just about every amp out there,including mine,so I'm sure he has a rock solid idea of how they sound.IMO and others,the HE90's have never been a grab you by the nuts,wow kind of headphone,like say the R10.It took lots of time with them for me to fully appreciate what they bring to the table.I do agree with Spritzer though,they can sound good in most systems but they definitely do not sound the same on every amp.Gary
