    proto with 3D printed baffles, might swap to solid wood for final builds.

    @E_Schaaf graphene driver sounds interesting. Would be cooler if we could get N55 drivers like Th900 ones :/

    @tommytakis I am 99% confident now that the TH900 is actually N52, and the 1.5T spec that Fostex gives is just an optimistic rounded-up figure given N52 can achieve 1.48T

    Foster drivers are still MFG in China like the rest. There are no N55's in the Chinese market for whatever reason. These drivers I'm having made are in the same frame as TH900 with identical venting and all else identical. I've inquired with multiple builders.

    regardless, my ears will tell once I get the tuning right! You know me, I won't settle when it comes to slam.

    @E_Schaaf nice! let me know if you end up finding something w/ similar slam as godly th900 ones :) The BE coated ones I spec'd are actually smoother than the first driver i sent you so you might like it more. Still very fast and resolving even without much mods.

    One thing I'd caution you from them is that they have some driver inconsistencies. 1st pair I bought sounded very good, 2nd pair I did a bigger batch order and they were awfully bright and tinny. Hopefully you get something similar to what I got recently LOL

    You should pop em into a Grado-esque enclosure with extended front baffles for more conventional pad fit! Bruce at Wabi Sabi could probably do this for you (fleasbaby on Etsy). He makes my XL cups, he's very interested in atypical and experimental designs. If you ever want to take your builds to the next level!

    Also if you want better sub extension you should vent your baffles, I did notice some flex on the cardboardophone despite the perf pads.

    Very curious about the graphene driver. Also nice to see graphene falling in cost vs ~10 years ago and becoming much more readily available and widespread.
