If I read the text correctly, both claim to have a removable dampening. From first part of both descriptions: As far as I can tell, one does something special with the magnet setup to make it have more dispersion. Exactly what, I'm not sure. And in context of headphones, I don't know if that is good or bad. From the PDRW description: I'm assuming the…

Exactly what, I'm not sure. And in context of headphones, I don't know if that is good or bad. I'm assuming the dampening is a good thing for phones tho(?). -john

I'm wondering if anyone can explain the difference between the two different Neo3s listed on Parts-Express:Neo3W Neo3PDRW And what the implications are for constructing headphones with them. I'm assuming the PDRW would be better due to better imaging(??), but maybe it doesn't matter. I'm not really sure exactly what the construction…

Note you can get all sorts of plastics there -- various densities and various types of materials. Heck, you can even get blocks of Teflon there. Same for the foam web place. They have various types and densities. -john

You could make a pair of plates with polyethylene or nylon and screw the plates together with the drivers sandwiched between. -john

Take a look at the custom foam section on foamorder -dot- com. -john

I found the folder, but there are many hundreds of pages, so not sure if I can find the related material, or if I even saved it. That said, I had a thought on my way home. You could build a simulated driver and practice the repair. Buy some Kapton, drill a bunch of holes in a board with a hole-saw, glue the Kapton to the board, let it dry, then 'simulate' the defect by pressing…

IIRC, the hair dryer trick was discussed on the 'Bass and DIY Loudspeakers Mailing List' which appears to be long defunct. I'll check my bookshelf as I had kept a 3 ring binder of the Carver content at one point. It appears that the owners of the Carveraudio web site do repairs of the Carver 'ribbons', and searching their forum, don't seem to suggest the hair dryer. That said,…

First, some major disclaimers. 1) This is based on my recollection of what I've read, and my recollection isn't what it used to be! 2) Materials used may be different. 3) Might not even be the same issue. Bottom line, research and consider before you act. That said, I recall the Carver 'ribbons' could eventually loosen up to the point they could 'flap'…

AFAIK, the BG drivers are a lot like the Carver Amazing drivers. In that case, I would expect the BG Neo3 to look a lot like the Fostex T50 driver based on the pictures Wualta has posted here. That is to say, thick traces glued to Kapton, connected on an edge (not in the center). If these suppositions hold true, does that imply promise for the use of the Neo3 in a configuration…
