The front and back plates are beautiful. Congrats!

If you open them up again next time, please take a few photos of the inside to show us.

Wow.

Money sent.

Oh, that was fast. Thanks a lot.

I've been trying to source 0.1uF 1KV capacitors which will fit into the board, but can't seem to find them. Can someone please help me with the part number and where to buy them?

Wow.

Nice!

Nice!

Happy birthday!

Very nice. Congratulations.

If everything can be surface mount, how small a footprint can it be? It would be nice if it can be a small and portable amp.

Very nice!

Congratulations!

Yes. Be very careful. But even if it's broken, you can replace it with Mylar. I can't hear any difference. Mylar is a lot stronger too.

I don't think the diaphragm can go bad that easily. I have opened up many headphones with the imbalanced issue (including my own DIY sets), and I have never seen a burnt diaphragm just yet. For some reasons, even a small arc spot on the diaphragm can cause the driver to sound lighter. The quick and easy fix is to recoat it. About the diaphragm material, I don't know what Stax uses. But, I am quite sure that your diaphragm is still good so there is no need to worry about replacing it. What you might need to replace could be the dust covers. They are extremely fragile.

Hi! If you are not afraid to disassemble your drivers, fixing the imbalance problem isn't that difficult. Most of the times, recoating the diaphragms solve it all. I can help you guys with any problem you have. Just let me know. Wachara C.

Wow. That's super nice!

Very nice!

Congratulations!

Nice work Bui501. Really like you case work. About the DIY headphones, I'm always around if you should need any help. Wachara C.

Your amp looks really nice. Please show us the underside as well. About the volume, it might have something to do with your source putting out too soft sound too. Please check.

Thanks. I make these headphones to use with Stax compatible amps. The spacer thickness is 0.5 mm and bias voltage is 570V.

No, I don't have a clean room. I always spray paint my stators and it helps a lot with the noises. Here is my DIY version compares with the real JF.

Which part do you like to see? These are my stator and spacer.
