Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!
I agree that having their 30 sec samples are not ok to post, but having 30sec samples of other musicians are probably ok to post for reference. I think I have some Krall's albums. Let me check if I have other albums.- GoldWarlock

BMF, could you provide 3-5 samples? Let's say something that demonstrated a good bass/sub-bass, female vocals, cymbals and maybe something with a lot of sound for instrument separation? I'll list and categorize those and will try to get more samples from from other modders.- GoldWarlock

First, we have other headphones which can be used as "reference". I have some music that I used for this but I'm not even sure if the original recording was properly recorded. I use speakers sometimes to verify the quality. Second, having a common testing material would help newcomers as well...- GoldWarlock

I have a suggestion, could people who mod and tune these headphones provide a sample music that they use? I'd like to get 30sec clips for testing "by-ear" for lows, mids and highs. You can PM me and I'll put it on my server or upload to any file sharing site. I think this would...- GoldWarlock

I tried Shure pads (whcih I have on T50 now) and they did not seal as well as T50 pads. I use 271s in the office and require 100% sound isolation.- GoldWarlock

As a side note, I put stock T50 pads on my AKG 271 and like them a lot. Brought some lows in AKG which was welcomed ;-) They fit nicely, even though original AKG pads were circular and T50 are oval.- GoldWarlock

My T50s are audibly different with DarkVoice 336 amp than sound cards (audigy and mac). I didn't like the amped version with stock ones but now that I modded them to my taste, they sound amazing with an amp. And yes, they are definitely less efficient than for example AKG 271s or AKG 701...- GoldWarlock

Quote: I just did it several days ago and with both stock and shure pads it was a big improvement. I could not listed to female vocals with the earside felt on. Now the shure pads actually have a kind of felt material which covers the driver when they are on, while stock ones do...- GoldWarlock

Quote: I received mine today. Gonna run them for a week but my general impression vs stock is that I lost some base and a bit of low boominess. I also can say that acoustic guitar sounds amazing. Soundstage improved. Need to listen to some vocal tracks now and then something...- GoldWarlock

I have done another round of modding yesterday and got a much better sound. Here are some details: - stock pads (waiting for shure ones) - bass ports 100% closed with a tape from outside - moderate amount of plasticine in baffle, small holes around the driver are not filled in -...- GoldWarlock

Quote: Nice. I'll be getting one then, just waiting on a release of ODAC and maybe will just buy a combo if they make that available. I'm using DarkVoice 336 myself but it overdrives the base right now. I tuned the tubes in DarkVoice to bring more base in my AKG 701s but that is not...- GoldWarlock

Have anyone tried modded fostex with O2 amp. What was the improvement over stock or over un-amped? Also I know it is a long shot but is there anyone using t50rps with DarkVoice 336i amp? What're your impressions?- GoldWarlock

Quote: I see, I think I might have overdampened them with foam. It is pretty sick, I'd say 4-5mm. I'll remove it and add some cotton. Thanks!- GoldWarlock
