Good day to all.

First of all I would like to thank Bob / BushGuy for this. He is such a friendly guy who was able to sent me those elastics totally free, yeah. Thanks buddy, your are great head-fier.

Its all begun when I have purchased the AKG K340 and post my impressions up here

http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...light=AKG+K340

A lot of people were giving me advices about little mod with those old elastics. So I was running like idiot all stores in Rotterdam to find a SCUNCY thing. But unfortunately that was a big fiasco. All I could find was the same in all those shops, thick or thin but all with metal clip on. And the quality wasn't that good anyway. The funniest thing started when I were asking those girls from the shops about it and they were looking at me like: "What the hell are you talking about man!?" so I was even telling them why I was looking for this particular elastic and lucky me most of them were smiling and trying to help me anyway.
That's the short story of my journey of FINDING THE SCUNCY, not THE NEMO….
After all I sent an e-mail to Bob and here we go. Once again, thanks man.

That's the elastic. Only one on the picture because other two been used already



The beginning, hmmm...



And now I am kind of surgeon guy, yeah



Another side



What the hell is that? I need to think really hard where to put this one on...



Oh baby, you look so sexy without extra close on...



And now the results...




Another side



The last one



It wasn't that difficult to do, but for me who never dare to do such a thing, that's a big step. And I feel kind of COOL

Good to see you fixed the elastics. They have a much better (and much needed) seal when the elastics are working. Now take out most or all of the inner foam and seal the open parts in the cups.
