Your mod is different but until you’ve heard Flat Pads it’s inconclusive what it does to the sound.

I believe if you take the raw RS-1 pads and reverse them it will give you an idea of what the Flat Pads sound like.

It's simply a way to alter the sound.

Never claimed it altered the sound the same way the flat pads do; I do intend to try the flat pads but in the meantime I'm going to try different types of foam and different hole arrangements.

My main reason for doing the mod is to discipline the high frequencies a bit. And regarding that goal ... the mod works very well and is quite extensible.

And for me ... making stuff is more fun than ordering online ... though ordering online runs a close second.
