Smeggy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 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
laxx Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Nice looking cups. =] What headphones are those cups going to be used for?
Smeggy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks, they're for a set of custom Fostex T50RP orthodynamics.

MASantos Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 That's reaching into used stax price range right? That would be spot on for the electrostatic amp Alex is designing!

pabbi1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Just outstanding. Unrelated, but I am buying an extra set of the PoMan's Stax Amp boards we are prototyping, mainly to meet volume, but it is a footnote should something wiggle that way.
dBel84 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 wow, I hadn't stayed abreast of the PoMan and had no idea you were at the proto board stage already. It sure looks like anything could be a reality at this point..dB
Smeggy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 That is quite the sum! Maybe an 800 isn't such a pipe dream after all
wiatrob Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 wow, I hadn't stayed abreast of the PoMan and had no idea you were at the proto board stage already. It sure looks like anything could be a reality at this point..dB We're getting close - real life interrupts and all...

Smeggy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Sweet! In other news, the headband arrived today
pabbi1 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Not that it matters, since we are in hd800 range, but Alex is building a Poor Mans Stat Amp, just to see what the fuss is about... )
dBel84 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 yes , but we are also in asr's O2 territory ..dB
dBel84 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Posted March 14, 2009 Just an update and a request for votes - 2 votes max ( only first 2 counted ) Contributors : dB / Batman / Pabbi / Forsakenrider / NoNoNoNoNoNo / guzziguy / cfcubed / wiatrob / smeggy / headphoneaddict / ferrari / amphead / germania / digger945 / postal_blue / nikongod / MrMajestic2 / adamus / tacitapproval / Alcaudon / nmaher / anon / ferrari / moodysteve / chobint / fishski13 / fordgtlover / linuxworks / vixr / MrSlim / jp11801 / kklee / balderon / krmathis / AMB / MASantos / MisterX / TomB / sacd lover / scompton / Uncle Bob / ericj / holland / Elephas / V-DiV / Hayduke We have approx $1000 available for commercial offerings Voting thus far goes as follows: HD800 3 HD650/600 8 K701 7 RS1 3 AD2000 4 ..dB the other thought I had I am thinking too many headphones is overkill - DIY and 1 other and we spring for the upgraded version of Eagle which will allow the man to create even more for our hearts to desire - he has an intermediate version so it would be an upgrade to the full version for him. Just a thought that I wanted to put out there and am happy to be shot down. BUT this is sort of investing in the future of DIY ..dB
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 IF we could reach the goal of an HD800 I would chip in another $40 via paypal. Anyone else think that is a worthy goal?
pabbi1 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 I'd vote for hd800, and send extra to do so, but if the hd600 (over hd650), plus Eagle would leave enough for some Lambda Pros, I think there is a winner, It is also an investment for him to have a range of phones with which he can hear his amps, at least the ones he builds. But, I still think the hd800 would make the statement for how we feel about his work.
