purk Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I properly driven SR007 will deliver top tier sound quality. I recommend Mjolnir KGSSHV Mini!
catscratch Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 People have been spreading the idea that driver/ear distance with Lambdas doesn't matter and you can use whatever pads you want, and it's become common knowledge. I guess 10db of midbass hump and nothing below 50hz qualifies as great bass to people.

Or an 007/kgsshv combo to give u top tier sound. The SR-007 even with just a KGSS sounds more transparent to me than any non electrostatic headphone (and I have owned the Audeze LCD-4, LFF Code-6, and other high end planars for reference). 2

So what is consider the ultimate jump combo would be, T2 DIY with SR-Omega or the T2 DIY with the new SR-009s? 3 hours ago, spritzer said: What the actual fuck is up with that?? Looks like either a SR-202 or SR-207 with the following Modhouse Audio Stax earpad adapter & ZMF lambskin earpads. https://www.modhouseaudio.com/stax-earpad-adapter/xbd7diflbdflc39z62hgswzxgqship
SeaWolf Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Hey the z reviews guy did try to his stax and he seems like a sharp fellow, With a vast amount of technical knowledge.. ? 2
spritzer Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 So they have a vented version on top of this? This is beyond all the stupid shit we see with dynamics. 1
eggil Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Darn. I just noticed sound changes when I wear my glasses. 1 2
eggil Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 Didn't notice it as much with the 009. That means I can not read while listening to the 009S

ktm Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Looks like this guy hacked pro bias. And it isn't cheap, either Edited July 2, 2018 by ktm
dh Posted July 4, 2018 Report Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone have a black SRM-717 face plate and knob in excellent condition that they would like to sell? Or trade for my silver panel and knob in excellent condition?
Mach3 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Posted July 4, 2018 Anyone here own's the KSE1500 who can describe how it compares to the SR-009 or SR-007. Thinking of grabbing one for a lot less than the KSE1200 on local used market.
spritzer Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 Hard to compare them directly as we have not yet built the adapter to drive them off normal bias outputs but the KSE1500 is just a tad bright for me. I fixed it with the EQ with a slight dip at 6khz... As for the sound, the KSE1500 is pretty good, much more in line with the neutral tonality of the 007's over the 009's. 2 2

I ended up driving 20min to pick them up after seeing your response. Offer was too good to pass. This will keep me busy until my SR-007 MK1 arrives. Edited July 10, 2018 by Mach3 1
spritzer Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Time for some more musings on the 009S... After a week in NYC I got back to new EP-007's earpads and they are on the phones now. Not the improvement I was looking for to be honest and now the bass issues bother me even more. It's one of those things, when you notice the lack of impact it starts to eat at you. You hear it in every offending track and it really detracts from the listening experience. This is not a seal issue as they are clearly airtight. Over all though, the 009S is an improvement over the 009 but this one part just bothers me a lot.... Interesting to compare the earpads of the 009 to the 009S. The former are about 8mm less tall in the front and much softer. The back is the same height but again, the actual volume of the earpads is clearly different due to how much they compress. Last mod I'm going to try are the 009 earpads on the 009S before they are put away into the collection. 3 3
bwck2000 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Few days ago one channel of my he60 started to lose volume and now even the balance knob cant fix it completely........Does anyone has a single or a pair of he60 spare driver for sale? I have put wrinkled mylar on the driver to keep dust away since I have the he60 on my hand so I guess the dust was already there when its made.......

If nothing helps, you might want to try recoating the diaphragm. Edited July 17, 2018 by chinsettawong
bwck2000 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Im sure it is not the joint's fault. When I vary the earcup's pressure by pressing the headphone towards my ear it occassionally gets louder. I have the diaphragm recoated this morning. The coating seems to be too thick, i.e. , the whole driver is fxxked up.?
