Smeggy

Honest officer, I was just cleaning it and it went off!

I was thinking of getting one but remembered I already have an Audio Note gold knob at home.

Superglue is my best friend.

That house gets a +1 for wood content!

Neko Case, Middle Cyclone.

Me too. Beta 22 with K1000 seems like a perfect match.

Happy Birthday Dimitri, have a great one!

It looks like ass, when are they going to lose the shitty white look and make them a decent shade of black!

Very nice Deepak!

That is quite the sum! Maybe an 800 isn't such a pipe dream after all

Aaaaaaaaaanother T50

YAY!!! Happy birthday Nate, you old bastard Have a great one!

I went to work, got frustrated, went home.

Just got another T50RP and an older T20 in the mail from mypasswordis. That little T20 is very nice. Cheers Justin!

Gorgeous stuff! I'm jealous

Cheers Reksy

sho fing.

Damn him, these are nicer than my cups

Thanks, they're for a set of custom Fostex T50RP orthodynamics.

I got the cups done in preparation. Still have to do the baffles and cable/vent ports. One nice thing about this kingwood, if you add a slight dish the grain changes direction

I'd like to Steve, I'm already in for a Pico Dac and probably a pair of FET boards so It's going to be pushing my finances a bit to commit to one of these as well. If I can find parts cheap enough, I'd love to.

Ok, Pic of taped up driver... Not very exciting

I have two 100s here to try it on, it'll be interesting to see if they respond in the same way. Holy shit though, they *really* need a lot of power to drive now.

I'll pop pics up in a bit.

Larry kindly gave me a Yammy HP-1 today so I had a quick play... As posted on H-F... So I quickly whipped the HP-1 apart to test a theory, and it worked! Not perfect but a nice proof of concept. That 3M micropore paper tape we've talked about.. I bought a 2" wide roll of it at the drug store a few days ago. After rubber-gluing the driver to the faceplate to seal it properly, I taped completely over the back of the driver, the whole thing, with micropore, which gives just a slight gap over the center tab wire. Trimmed it flush with the driver edge and put a sheet of thin, medium density felt over the existing foam pad in the cups and screwed it back together. I cut a donut of the same felt to go over the front of the driver, under the pads. Anyway, end result? lots of really deep bass and lots of treble. Cuts their efficiency by half and is putting quite the strain on the mini3 I have Kabeers YH-1 here as comparison and it's quite the transformation. Deeper, more powerful, more slam and clearer top. They actually have some bite to them now but they still keep most of the smooth midrange As I said, not perfect but a very quick and simple mod anyone can do in the time it takes to unscrew and screw the cups if you don't bother with the glue stuff. So yeah, fun little experiment. I might try to redo it using a sheet of leather over the driver instead of the micropore tape which should tame the highs a bit better.
