Congrats! Good luck though. I couldnt seem to reach satisfactory point with my mods. But they seem to be universally accepted as the most superior (obtainable) Yamaha. I remained convinced it was the housing holding it back....but dunno, maybe its just the mods I experienced wern't the right ones. Once you do find the time, please do update us on your mods.

Hot stuff!! Who needs to decide between HD600 and K701 when you have bits of a Kingwood tree strapped to your head!! I think the whole thing looks sexy, maybe the one thing I would change is remove the blue coloured heatshrink (and would have been better if the red one wasnt so bright too), this is just me being super nitpickery, but those bright plastic colours are a bit too high contrast against the black/dark wood colour scheme. Anyway, either way, im sure Alex (and Don ) will be thrilled, you guys are awesome.

thems some yummy looking cups Gary! (whats with that strange 'wing' on the baffle?)

Haha, i like the way the guy on the left cant grow a mohican, so he has grown two mini ones on the edges.

lol. Ya should be careful smeggs with breathin in that stuff. I hear certain woods like Cocobolo have toxic sawdust.... (well you probably knew that, but hey, just in case). I think the Kingwood youv been using is basically a Cocobolo variant...

mmmmmm Cocobolo, sooo pretty. I miss my guitar :'(

Heres one I made earlier: Ok, ok you got me, im not really Audio Technica! Anyway, you can see that they have left a v.little bit of grain open on theirs. Or you trying to achieve their gloss finishes?

ahahaaa!!! best post of the day

oo 'appy birfday!

I think that image will boost the price!! A buyer might mistake what he is getting

Well at these prices buying the whole setup is more economical really, since according to Stoneaudio you get the adapter with it: - "The Ergo AMT is supplied with its own switching box for direct connection to the LS output of your amplifier." Alas its a all a bit expensive for me at the moment, but at least its in the radar now thanks to you Doug! I'll revel in the fun of discovering new orthos in the meanwhile.

Sorry, typo. 440 for each, therefore 880 for a pair. I checked stoneaudio, you can buy the headphone+adapter for

Well I decided to ask how much the AMT drivers were in case it wasnt much, but I was wrong. The price for two each driver is SFR 440, so 880 for both. If Im correct thats $760 .

I think you just found a new alternative to Red Bull and Coffee!!!

Hmmm that could pose a small hurdle....... Ya never know, maybe the politics department might have an RP machine...they might have used it to create cupholders for their coffee.

Hey think about it like this, you just got the cheapest tattoo deal on the planet!! (otherwise hope ur ok smegg!)

Nice!!! Personally I think it must have been the Blutak that took it over the edge . Theres much to be said about that magic material.

This is cool stuff. Do you know if you can purchase the driver seperately to the headphone? And once you are done and have time, will you post a mod guide?

wow, thats interesting stuff. What recent mods did you do Duggeh that took it over the edge? (does it still look as ghetto as it did a few weeks back heh)

I'm very careful with my screws, and if you mean the flower grooves on the screwheads, then mine barely have any wear on them after many openings. Id be most worries about stripping the screw holes in the cups! You dont happen to remember that scheme you mention that you rashly changed out?

I gotta say, Im loving your YH-100 photo, it captures the headband design nicely. You can see how this was the successor to the YH-1000, it's basically a streamlined version of that, mixed with the Bellini styling.

Awesome ! I'd be interested to see what you end up doing for the mods down the road.

Nice!! What are your initial impressions?
