Hey guys, does anyone have any Stax electret, SR-X, or Realistic Pro 30 style pads spare? I would like to buy a pair for a SFI style creation . Thanks.

Hey, if the magnets have cracked I guess we can now see the insides of a Yamaha driver?

Thanks, thats interesting, a reverse reflex dot! Kinda like the disc on the baffle side of Wualtas T50 driver. And you stuffed the cup with toilet tissue :S! Very strange, so that works as well as felt? I guess its an easy source if it does! . Im at the stage where iv gone damping crazy, and I need a proper reference headphone. Unfortunately anything worthwhile I cant afford . Anyone in London with a really good headphone setup that wouldnt mind me comparing my Aiwas and YH-100 to?

I would love to know what you did to achieve this . Thanks

Lucky for me I didnt end up trading before hearing them then! Looking forward to it.

Lol, no worries. I'll wait till it piggybacks onto another package. Btw, dBel is doing some great work on SFI's and YH-100 cups as well, you should get in contact with him and pool your knowledge . You are the bastions of the new ortho age.

Ahh thanks guys. I guess It will be interesting to hear the YH-1 then. The HP-3 (and its variants) all sound bad in stock form to me, and need modding. But F3d seemed to enjoy his in stock form.

In stock form does it really have any form of decent trebles? Im v.suprised to hear it was balanced in stock form (I am yet to even hear my YH-1 stock yet btw). Does anyone else agree with this btw? It didnt seem to me Steve was saying it was balanced in stock form, but I could be mistaken. I dont think I have heard a single ortho that had a balanced spectrum in stock form (Save the Aiwas stock scheme, but then there were still way too many resonances, it also turns out the Wharfedales stock scheme is a bit sucky). If you are happy in stock form even with resonances, but find the treble slightly lacking. Why not keep it stock form and try a reflex dot or two? If ya find it fine completely in stock form even in comparison to a O2....well I cant wait till I get mine in my hands

Oh Smeggy you lucky boy . I am interested to know, how are the capabilities of the T30 driver in reproducing large deep bass in comparison to the NADRP18? (I am under the assumption the NAD and its brothers are probably the best ortho in this respect). And wow that T30 mod looks beautiful. I never liked the original housing that much. Gotta say though, not a huge fan of that headband . They look in lovely condition! Its all about tuning the damping on them. You will lose some bass quantity, but should increase the 'impact' of the bass as it gets tighter. Iv not actually tried tuning the YH-1 yet, but if you want to retain bass, maybe my progressive donut damping method might* work... Also, on hf, Billink has made his own damping scheme on the YH-1, that makes him love them for classical music (and he owns an O2!).

Yup, my apologies if what I said upset someone too, that wasnt the intention. Peace.

Haha at the Hilary vid.

Lol all this from one word. Told ya I wouldnt get the homour on here . Nice welcome.

Well just found this place yesterday. It does feel like the anti-head-fi lol. What looks cool though is that things (product opinions) seem a little more straight up here. Dunno if Ill get all the humour style though .
