Could you post the full graph of LFFs mod, or is the <1k stuff not very different from stock?

Hmm, still something looks off about the DJ100. I wonder if it's not sealing w/ those angled pads because they should have more present and impactful bass than the HD558. Unless I had some odd gear synergy w/ them. Honestly they should sound better than the low end Grados. I'll need to have a listen to them again and see whats up.
Personal preferences come into play. Trying to max out a step response with insufficient dampening will cause oscillations and ringing. It's kind of like setting up a car suspension. Worn shocks and you bottom out and bounce all around.

Is bigger always better, or are we talking here just about frequency response being responsible for how big or little the initial impulse actually shows up as and is therefore unimportant; i.e., it's the proportion of oscillation and time to settle that are important.
RX300 pads? For me, those sounded as good as the M30/V6 pads (if not better) and I didn't notice any loss of bass, but it's possible. I'd be curious if the stock pads gave better measurements, but maybe not.
Not sure how the bass of the HD-558 compares to the 598, but the DJ100's bass (with my setup) makes my 598 seem almost bass light in comparison. Love the bass on the DJ100 with good pads (and a good seal). I've also never had a headphone's sound change so much with pad swaps as I have with the DJ100. Sometimes it's hard to figure out why this is. It seems like the more open the pads are, the more I get an impression of more treble. Very strange.
I bet every single pad would probably measure completely different with this headphone
So I assume you'd only know how high the initial impulse should be by seeing the raw electrical signal, right? And I assume the Koss is supposed to be inverted like that?

Purrin, I'd love to see the SRH840 and SRH940 compared this way. My suspicion from patterns I've noticed on head-fi, and backed up by how similar Tyll's measurements are of the two cans except for different FR, is that the 940 is basically an 840 with more treble and less bass. It would be interesting to see more measurements because it could be a great example of how simple changes in FR affect the perception of every other quality- speed, accuracy, detail, distortion, etc. From Tyll's measurements, the 840 actually measures better AFAIK, but the 940 is compared to the HD800...
I think it would be interesting anyways.
Please excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain or point to me a good link on how to read these plots? I'm interested in furthering my knowledge of understanding audio measurements so I can better make informed choices on head phones, being a relative newcomer to quality headphones (at one time, I too used to think Bose was king).
Good stuffs, Purrin... One of the most useful thread in Head-Fi, I believe...
Would it be possible for you to measure the multi-order Harmonic Distortions plots as well? (such as this driver )
I thought CSD + knowing which order of harmonic distortion is dominant, would make it much easier to "guess" how a driver (or phone in this case) would sound...
