Maybe too early given lack of impressions but figured I'd shoot in the dark. Still cheaper than a brand new TH900 stock.

#8, rosewood cups, started as THX00, transplanted TH900 drivers, couple minor blemishes, fixed cable. https://i.imgur.com/6sHVivD.png

Hope someone buys. Don't have the cash this month or else I would.

@dncnexus might still have these next month, these things move at a truly glacial pace.

Apropos of nothing much but I recall a member on here swapped the magnets on an HD650 out, "turbocharging" it. From what I can tell (never had at-home time with TH900) the only real difference between it and the TH-X00/6X0 besides cups is the magnet; viable method, slap some N50s on there?

Can't remove the magnets because they're molded down in the plastic baffle frame. Not to mention doing so could destroy the voice coil even it it was accessible. I wish! Also N50 doesn't cut it - 1.5T gauss is beyond even N52 territory.

I actually forgot how strong the magnets on the 900s were— friggin hell that explains a fair bit (have the 1.5T claims been ratified? That's obscene strength).

Yeah at this point your best bet is likely to find some enterprising guy willing to manufacture parts to your spec. Idk honestly there's likely a dude somewhere who's already got it down pat.

@tommytakis pointed me in the right direction and already in the works to produce a nanofiber driver (either paper or compressed wool, though options like graphene exist) with an N52 magnet that's even larger in physical size than the one on the 900. Same venting scheme. Next up is making baffles.

@E_Schaaf yay! glad I could be of help :)
