Better than they are SE? I didn't bother re-cabling mine as I wasn't sure it'd make much of an improvement.



I did not notice much in my other cans balanced to tell the truth. There may have been a difference, just not as much. The HF-2s seemed to jump a notch on bass tightness, quantity and extension and the soundstage opened up quite. a bit. The soundstage made me say WOW a number of times on the first few songs I listened to.

Why is this not a default cover?

Seems like that cover is a good idea.

It should have been there from day one.

The amp chassis doesn't need it, but the power supply surely does.

That cover should be at the top and the bottom as default, IMO.

I can sell them to anyone at cost plus whatever it costs to ship if you just want one. They are pretty sexy, heavy aluminum @ all. They make a version for fatter earcup wires but the SC2 works great. AV-Outlet is out of town through Friday so if you need one sooner, let me know, AV-outlet has free shipping for orders over $25 so you want to buy 3 at a time, but if you need a single one shipped priority then I can mail them to any head-fiers that need them fast, UPS ground that they use is slooooow.

In other news, just asked Kingwa how to get one of these plates, is everyone sure they're a freebie, will we have to pay shipping, they're not small and I feel bad for him but at the same time it's hardly a cosmetic upgrade, my power supply is hawwwt.

x2, and by that I mean both top and bottom plates would be nice. Send mine with black screws and I'm all over it.

That cover wont make any difference to air flow or temperature IMO unless there are corresponding air holes on the sides or bottom.

But it is quite sexy to have a winter and summer version, or fully dressed and semi nude, in other words.
