my heart is being pulled so many ways I don't know what version to make
-
what screws are those that are holding down the 10m90s in the power supply?
-
Some nice ideas with the enclosure, makes me wonder how much of the R&D budget is going towards case engineering and by wonder I mean assume it's 100%
-
damn that is a clean pair of mk1s
-
good luck, recently I have felt like I'm approaching a similar crossroads
-
Despite the departure from klone status, I am interested in your improvements. Have you implemented any of the modifications that you're outlining? I have a spare board which I might consider stuffing.
-
have you ab-ed the film caps in psu use against standard electrolytics? it sounds inviting from a longevity perspective but I'm curious how the parasitics end up changing the sound, if at all
-
can't you use the 2705, you only need a handful
-
I like the stn substitute in that picture
-
good to hear, in that case I think the main hurdle will still be the power fets.
-
The on-semi announcement kind of throws a wrench in the works for the newer version of the T2 doesn't it? That being said, I have a few pieces of the mpsw06 left. Do we need to match the hfe, since it's a sub for the 3381?
-
can you combine decks to make a quad black beauty, I think I have 2 stereos lying around
-
I would go for something slightly nicer if you're already going to pay 40, why not a black beauty or noble pot
-
sorry I only disassembled the headphones not the drivers specifically. I'm not too fluent when it comes to speaking headphones apparently
-
maybe it's time to fire up the circolotron nudge nudge
-
I can't make out any spacers from disassembling the driver. Should I be looking for something specific? I replaced the aging adhesive around the cable entry with kapton, and tried to place the driver in as carefully as possible. I noticed some small defect in the back diaphragm but I assume I can't do much about this. I was able to fix the majority of the balance by pulling a bit at the diaphragm with post-it while music was playing. it was easier to detect if I had aligned things properly by the resultant spl
-
I think I have a former stock of 100 pieces I guess I can make do
-
Is mouser out of parts already? I need to make an order too
-
Where do you get those feet, are they included with the case? I'm digging the trim on the faceplate
-
can you elaborate on how things should be aligned? i had half a mind to manually separate the drivers on each side on each side. how do you mess with the spacers? in related news I managed to alter the other driver too so now it's balanced but fucked up haha
-
I'm not sure you can flip the 007 driver, but if someone can show otherwise I'm down to try anything. figured I'd contribute something as long as I'm complaining, here's a shot of the 70761 driver (my working pair): there are six screws to hold down the grill compared to the four in the 70111 driver. the resin? frame edges angles upward, away from the dust cover on the side which faces the ear. There's a small piece of plastic which covers the cable housing and strain relief- the two extra screw holes affix this floating piece to the driver frame. in the 70111 driver the resin frame is uniformly flat and from what i can tell the dust cover seems to sit much closer to the stators. the resin is also one contiguous piece. will update with a picture when I feel like tackling the imbalance again. the sound between the two is markedly different but I'm not sure how fucked up the 70111 drivers are. oh well at least they were obtained through a trade for the lcd2s...
-
I've always thought your amplifiers should have acrylic or something to that effect on top, since it's a waste to cover up all the tidy internal wiring
-
I bought a toroid 1.7kva isolation transformer, I think they source from SumR that hum is ridiculous has anyone potted or gooped transformers themselves? I'm thinking that might be cheap way to salvage this purchase
-
post-its work well but I somehow ended up messing up the left and right channel imbalance, a good 6db difference between the two. I was thinking the dust covers around the driver might be sticking together or something, is this possible? When I press the cups against my head I can hear the balance fixing itself momentarily. Sorry if this sounds a bit repost-y, this is the original condition in which I received the headphones.

I like the case though, needs more rings and buttons
