Did you get whole new woofers or did you refoam them? Anyhow, the suspension looks a bit ill-fit on the left (bottom in pic) side

Got new woofers (Energy). Also, you're right about the suspension--but for some reason they're back to normal now...

D:

Why didn't you refoam?!

I tried that at first (cheaper, too), but Sound Dynamics went out of business ten years ago. I couldn't find the right parts, and I didn't have the time to bother with ebay.
So I just went to this awesome speaker reapir shop (Freezer, you'd be fapping for hours on end in there with the stuff they have in the "to fix" line) and asked the guy for a pair of good 10" woofers. He asked me how much bass I wanted, and I referred him to the size of the ports--et voilà! And besides, I want to inheirit them, so rubber suspension it is. Refoaming would only keep 'em together for another ten.

Yes, but if you don't get a speaker with the same parameters, the sound will change radically.

doesn't mean they sound worse

Given that the boxes are designed for their specific drivers, it usually does. At least if the speakers are proper.

The chord on my Sennheiser HD215 is dying, does anyone know where I can get a new one?

What is dying?

cord

Yeah, sound's different. There's an absence of distortion.

In all seriousness, we've had this debate before. I don't care how it differs from the original sound (wasn't around 25 or so years ago when they were new), only that now they sound good. And I can tell you upfront that the woofers I got are different from the original insofar as they produce much more of the lower-end of the low-end frequencies.

The chord, a.k.a. cable.

More specifically the 3.5" plug itself.

Just the plug? Can't you replace it yourself? Take the jack off of one of your audio cables, at least I have have a gazillion of el cheapo cables that I got with soundcards and speakers. Or just get a new one online for .50€.

Uhm no. 1066MHz is much better for overclocking the CPU.

Correct, but only if he's going to overclock.
Also, DDR3 has higher latencies than DDR2.

I tried to tell this to a kid on another board, and he said this:

CrazeD. DDR3 does > DDR2 -_-, even then again DDR4 is even better, if you have the money for it, i run 7 gig's of DDR3 ram, and will soon be changing to 3 gig's of DDR3. my comp is worth about 7 grand, and i can code in 6 langs and have my own games / hack programs for games i play, so dont try out wit me with PC's.

Holy shit, that is one leet haxor.

DDR4 is out?

TBFH its not. Some GFX cards had GDDR4 but these days they use GDDR3 or GDDR5.

As long as you're happy. Just pointing out, as they seem to be a bit better speakers.

Yeah, thanks. Maybe I'll ask you in 20 years what I should get.

uhhh...run one pass for each number bad number, when you're done with each pass go to the next bad number...surely this isn't where you're having the problem?

copy into word or something and "delete all instances of" or replace all with a space?
