Today I finally got some HD-414 pads for my MS-1's, and I have some questions for you folks. First of all, my HD-414 pads look different to most of the pictures I've seen of them here. For instance, kramer5150's pads look like this:
But my pads look like VR6ofpain's:
(Thanks for the pictures, you guys)
I realise that in the second photo, the pads are on reversed, but note that the sides of the pads are angled, unlike the straight sides you see in the first photo. Also, the front of my HD-414 pads is completely flat, unlike most of the photos I've seen of HD-414 pads on which it kind of caves inwards like on Grado comfy pads. So what gives? Are there two types of HD-414 pads?
Next question, my new HD-414 pads don't fit onto my MS-1's. Should I widen the hole that the driver goes in to? I don't usually see people talking about that here, and would this have an adverse effect if I later decided to reverse the pads?
And last question, since everyone talks about putting a Quarter-sized hole in the pads, since I'm not from the States, how wide should this hole be?
Thanks for your help!
