    Ok. Seems my warnings are not read lol. I can't take orders right now guys. To follow and Remember all PMs and demands in this thread would be a nightmare.

    Will open a list soon. Just be patient for a while ;). have to be confident on my own production before to take any order and I don't want to ask you to wait your life a mod that would never come right ?

    Moreover, the 4 early adopters of my mod are happy with it but we're still waiting a bit more impressions and measurements. Especially from OJ and Marv'. the pair I posted to Marv was lost. THe pair I sent to logscool was in Bad shape. I need to securize the process cuz I don't want to deal with shitloads of PM from angy people who want a professional service from a lone guy somewhere in the middle of Nowhere in Europe.

    Hope you'll understand me :)

    We do, we do.

    You know, I have an idea... you could open up a new thread right now and everyone who might be interested in the second release of the mod could sign up there. Just a quick "I'm interested" from each user. Every user would also add "EU", or "US" or "other" to their comment.

    Then you'll put a huge disclaimer at the top in red lettering saying that "this distribution may never happen, but if it does happen sign up here to be on-board" and you say the thing about financing your US trip and so forth.

    This way you can gauge the interest, we'll remove all the clutter from this thread, and in case the second release does happen you're all ready to go.

    It's just an idea, throwing it out there. 100% up to you.

    Hmm that did happen before, elsewhere...
    :drunk:


    But you have the source materials and deserve to at least be compensated for your work and expensive hole punch.
    So selling a few at a minor fee is not a bad idea at all even if you want it public,
    As it helps lazy people,
    Or others looking for easiest possible means, like me.

    Actually I am both
    :D

    OMG...."And so it was done; the screen was removed to allow entry into the hole of glory" may be the best line in any headphone review ever. Rolling on the floor Tyll. No wonder you are #1.

    Also - thanks for all your work on this. Would love this to be the review that fast tracks the HD850

    "You DIY Superheros out there (you know who you think you are), run, don't walk, over to Sorrodjes superbestaudiofriend.org SuperDupont resonator thread and get to work. This is a really great mod and will bring new life to your beloved HD 800. Have fun!
    Read more at http://www.innerfidelity.com/conten...rench-diy-response-page-2#WO8kTgv98YpxG4y0.99"

    I'm warning you SD... these forums are about to get flooded. You better get that order thread up and running. Just charge $20 a pop and buy yourself a nice first class ticket to the land of the quadruple bypass burger. You've earned it.

    Nice write-up Tyll. You're number #1 in my book.

    Also - HD800S wall of fame.... called it. :cool:

    I joined SBAF just for this thread and specifically for this mod. Sorrodje, please take your time in preparing this mod for all the hd800 enthusiasts, this thread is going to become flooded with people like me who are waiting to purchase your SD mod. I wish the best of luck on your efforts and I look forward to the fruit of your work.

    I've been lurking in the thread since it started, excited to see the progress on the mod. Who knows how many like me will pop out from hiding now that we can smell it, the finished mod, the thing that will make all our hopes and dreams come true (assuming our dreams are modest).

    Sorrodje, How did you get that cape to grow out of the top of your boobs? Just wondering. Looks painful.
