Yes? 1.35 to 2 micron is approximately 50% increase in thickness. Then multiply that by the area and density. Just ask yourself, why would Stax start off with a diaphragm that was maybe 5 microns thick in the 60s and 70s and then evolve to its current 1.35 micron thickness today with better manufacturing techniques? To make their headphones sound worse?

And hysteresis increases with increase in mass as well. You don't want a flexible wobbly diaphragm, a stiff one is much better at reproducing the signal without introducing distortion. Both lowering mass and having stiff material raises the resonant frequency of the system.

Cool, sounds good, since I guess I'm about to buy a bunch of 10pF and 100pF silver mica caps and probably some other goodies from the same seller.

lol tru dat, and I have a lesson. Maybe I'll actually go out clubbing this year. Doubtful though.

Random q - Looking for stuff to fill my drawers with so I don't have to mail order parts every time I want to build something. Do these resistors look okay? Are they OEM for some real brand or are they just crap? 1/4W 0.25W 1% Metal Film Resistor Kit 2500pcs 50 values - eBay (item 260598923005 end time Nov-03-10 11:37:59 PDT)

After an unexpected turn of events I now have a 8gb 3G iPod touch with iOS 4. Battery life sucks but maybe it's just because it's used. Test post.

^ lmao epic, would read the comics/watch the movie ...

Damn, nice amps you've owned. ... Sonic=====D--- ( Owned )

Should be a good source of income.

Happy birthday Marc! Have a good one.

I do like the case thing they made for the drivers, cool stuff. Thanks for the dissection and pics, Biggie!

I'm sure some people pay a premium for pre-worn jeans so maybe I will buy some jeans, wear them for a year and/or right before they get completely tattered without washing them, and sell them for a profit. My BO will have sufficiently sunken into the fabric by then.

Happy birthday, good sirs!

Perhaps you should have lurked more before posting. And try to get off your high horse next time you think about making a thinly veiled thread about how you have superior hearing to your friend. To answer your question, hand him whatever pair of headphones you think is good. If he hears a difference and likes it, cool. If not, still cool and stop bugging him about it.

Agreed x a million. Can't tell jack about the K1000 in a meet environment.
