Monoprice Monolith: A new planar?

I think they are standard 2.5mm mono tips, so oppo pm/2 and sennheiser HD700 cables should work. Not hard to make. I might even have an extra one, if you want to try it.

 

might b getting a pair of these as a trade

I'm thinking the vegan pads might b worthwhile!

 

Are the vegan pads still available anywhere? Can't seem to find any

 

Interesting. They appear to be discontinued.

 

I just pulled off stock pads (with stock felt) and replaced with the ZMF cowhide pads and am not finding anything offensive about the experience. Albeit I've had a couple of glasses of pinot noir, but I've noticed the resemblance to my modded HD650's. Maybe I'm off my rocker but these are a great value for a well performing, affordable planar.

 

DMS just posted his modding video of the M1060's, thought you guys might find it interesting

 

Has anyone here tried the Fuzzor mod on these?

I gave it a shot and it seems to smooth out the top end a little. If anyone here has a test rig and M1060's and would like a set to test let me know I will donate a set for testing.

 

Now that it looks like Audeze has discontinued both the leather and vegan replacement pads for the LCD's, anyone have any ideas as to a good alternative for the M1060, or any other headphones people have modded with them?

Just saw the post about the ZMF pads. Any others?

 

I'm about to receivea set of 3d printed fazor's next week, I would love to compare them to the fuzzors how ever I do not have any reliable measuring equipment

 

Just use your ears

 

That's what I would do, but I'm pretty sure he wants graphs

 

A little birdie told me ZMF has a suede/microfiber pad on the way...

But you didn't hear that from me.

 

Confirming @ThePianoMan 's point above. These pads are available on the ZMF web page. Look very similar in material and dimensions to the Audeze Vegans. Could be nice for people who still want to try this M1060 mod, or even for Eikon owners looking to tweak their sound a little.

ZMF page says they're a limited run, with a long lead time, so jump on it if interested.

 

How in the heck did you get the "Vents" cut so perfect?

 

I made the design in photoshop and then cut it out on a Cricut cutter.

 

I mean, you can modify just one, switch to mono and play it - you can play with it. But I reckon I am a bit late, am I not? How did it turn out at the end?

 

BTW, I believe I read that the M1060 will be $249 with free shipping on Black Friday.

at that price it is no brainer

 

This must stay between us, but Analogueseduction (UK) still seem to have
the Vegan pads ("Brown microsuede").

I bought from them, but have not yet tried the pads in situ.
(They are slowly self-burning- in on the shelf, I have good experience with this method)

 

zmf also released suede eikon pads recently
