I see what you did there Good idea. (Now you need to make, selling in kit form, a similar model for the Sony WM-D6 / D6C.)
I’m not sure I’d like to repeat this process lol. It was a ridiculous amount of labor and hyper-focus attention to detail. In all, I think I have a month of work in it. Very happy with the way it turned out. Sound quality is absurd. Worlds better than the crappy little built-in mono speaker.
