Open Alpha Build Diary

Hi All

This build is based on Mr.Speakers Open Alpha which a thread is available over hereon Head-Fi.

I had the open Alpha cups created and have it partially made. I used the modded cup design from HERE which removed the HI-Rose connectors use by Mr.Speakers aka Dan Clarke. This works for me as I have a few other T50 mods and headphones that use 3.5mm.

I had some issues with the paint and had to strip the cups back to bare plastic and probably going to go with a color shift galaxy blue.

Here is one I made for my friend. It is very simple as it just has some cotton from the Mayflower kit. I tested with with Cascadia hybrid pads and it was the most layered T50 I have ever heard.

I kind of like T50's

Open Alpha, T60 Argon, Vibrolab in Zebrawood and a MK Argon with MK3 baffles.

I will be adding screws to the bass ports on mine and will have more time to test materials. Once I get everything in place I'll tidy up this OP.
