not at all, personal preference.
This won't make me like them more than my Q701, but my goal with the Fostex was to make them dark with a massive and extended bass. Like an HD650 on steroids. They have good bass, but I still want more. The Shure pads made a big difference, but I still want more. Switching between these and my Q701 there just isn't enough of a difference in bass quantity to make them enjoyable for me. I want a bass light can (Q701) and a bass heavy can. I want one of each. I love the mids and I'm fine with the highs, but I just still want more bass out of these T59rp's.
What mods will give me more bass without warming up the mids to much?
right now my mod list is:
-840 pads
-angled the 840 pads a little bit by stuffing a piece of tissue in the rear half of the pads
-a very small amount of rite-aid cotton roll fluffed up in the cups
-some foam in the deepest parts of the cups
-mass loaded the baffle with a non hardening modeling clay
-closed off the small port on the driver baffle
-taped over the outer 4 vents and then poked 3 small pen tip sized holes in the tape. leaving the vents completely open seemed to make them seem too warm
-I haven't messed with dampening the back side of the driver, I left the white layer on the back side of the driver and added just the cotton and foam in the cups. No other dampening has been done yet.
is there anything else I can do to get more bass without also adding to much warmth to the lower mids?
