[ARC5] Earphone pads...

[DSP3]

Gentlemen,
Those pads look very nice, indeed.  Let me just say, though, that if 
you're looking for pads for the R-14-series elements, these "NAF" type 
pads will work. _Depending on the condition of the rubber,_ you may have 
to gently heat them up a bit and use some silicone spray.  If you're 
going to try and force some ANB-series elements in them... be prepared 
for a real fight!!   The ANB elements were generally used with the 
softer rubber-cap type pads.  The other, smaller hard rubber pads were 
also meant for the R-14 elements but, again, can be made to work with 
ANB's.These pads, unlike a lot of them on the market, do have the 
original designed molded insertion and cord relief indentations.  
Without these indentations, one has to cut them out, lest the 
connections be chaffed and additional severe difficulty in initial 
insertion of the element.    Been there and done that too many times!!!
