    That’s not glue, it’s vhb tape and it’s probably like that because the upward pressure from the damper part is pushing the black piece away. If my guess is right, look from the top and you’ll see that the middle part is slightly bending upwards. In that case I think you’ll probably be safe to just push it back in (vhb tape is tough) or take it off and reattach it. Worst case I’ll send you a replacement.

    Arrived today. How do I tell which cups are which? I can tell which are pairs but don't know 580 from 650. Thanks!

    Oh, I guess people are sending it disassembled.
    Simple- 580 has the black screen inside and 650 has the silver screen.
    You can also see from the outside which screen is silver and black.

    A health issue flare up is keeping me from walking, these issues usually last a couple days. I was planning to ship these to @Merrick today but need to delay for 1-3 days. I’ll post when I ship, apologies for the delay. My body is a real pain in the ass sometimes. :mad:

    Take care of yourself! That’s more important than getting a shipment out.

    @ChaChaRealSmooth is it possible for me to join and be put at the end of the list after YMO?

    Thank you @Merrick for your understanding, I appreciate it. Shipped today!

    Also @ext1 I noticed the same issue as Clemmaster, one of the 580 cups has a piece coming off. I was able to push it back on but it did keep coming off. I didn't notice any sound different in the 580 cups but it may make sense for you to send materials and instructions to Merrick if he is up for fixing it.

    @Merrick get in touch with me for materials. It's a super simple fix

    I received an email from UPS tonight saying my package was delivered at “Other” with authorization by driver release. I looked around my front yard and didn’t see a package anywhere, nor did I see UPS come by this evening. The originating city was Sunnyvale, CA, sent on 7/3 and on I’m fairly certain this is the loaner package. I will be reaching out to UPS tomorrow to find out what the deal is but I wanted to give a heads up here in case. I’ll update when I know more.

    Yeah, that should be the loaner from me. Hopefully UPS didn’t deliver to the wrong address. :(

    Today when I checked the tracking it says the package is out for delivery today, so yesterday must have been some kind of error. I’ll confirm when it arrives.

    Haha, thanks for the heart attack UPS. I've had Fedex do that to me before as well. :confused:

    Update, I received the supplies package from @ChaChaRealSmooth and applied the double sided tape to the loose piece on the 580 cup. I’ll get these moving again in the next few days. Going forward the package will also contain a roll of 3M double sided tape to fix any loose pieces, as well as a Cardas cable ChaCha has provided.

    Am I an idiot or do we not have active impressions threads for these?

    Yeah, I added to the existing measurements thread but you're right we don't have an impressions thread. I think it's better to keep those in different threads, potentially different target audiences. If you make a new one perhaps a mod can move over the impressions to your thread.
