Archgon Delicato Over Ear Hi-Res Headphones - Impressions

What mods have you done so far?

I tried taping off all of the driver vents to reduce the bass, but it didn’t do anything. The driver has a plastic cover over the magnet, so I guess I’ll have to cut the cover off so I can see what it looks like behind.


I didnt do much, I just replaced those porous vent cover with a tape (not all) and experiment heavily with pads, swapping pads does wonders to this headphone, the stock pads felt good ngl but I have to tore it off for pad swap.

What pads did you go with?

I’d LOVE to fit some HM5 pads somehow.

And yes, they respond very well to EQ.
I used the perforated pads from my SIVGA 002. When running wired, I tend to EQ, so OOB sound isn't really an issue so long as the drivers are good and pad swap is possible. This is especially true if running from the ES100 and the killer App.

Mmmm, open backed and retuned Delicato:

I still need to convert it to balanced and do a few other things (possibly transplanting Ora graphene drivers if I decide to). So it’s still a work in progress. But it’s coming along fine so far :)
