I am interested in this mod, but I don't want to open up my A900s at all!!! Doing stuff like this just scares me.. I would hate to mess up the sound they already have, because I like them as they are. They sound perfect to me (even if I restore them back to the original A900s, I would not be happy that I've opened them up. I would have the thought I have done something wrong and my A900s have changed for good).
Has anyone just thought of using EQ for the mids? I don't seem to ever feel the mids are that recessed? Sometimes, I just lower the bass or something... but ONLY if needed on particular recordings. Also remember each artist, song, and recordings are always unique and are NEVER the same. Some were recorded digitally, others analogue, the artists could have had a bad day in the studio, or the mix was not quite right.... there are too many variables.
I sometmes change my EQ settings from track to track. This makes a huge difference in most cases. Especially when you shuffle your tracks around and listen to a variety of genre's, some hard rock/metal, then change over to Jazz, Dance, or Classical music. Using one set of headphones will not always work with different drastic changes in recordings, and styles of music. EQ can sometimes be very useful.
I am still keen to see just how easily the process works. From my searches, I found some threads where people were not too impressed by the mod at all, and even changed the A900s back!
I'd hate go through all that!
I love my A900's just the way they are, and I wouldn't change a thing! (hmmm sounds like i've fallen in love doesn't it! hehe).
