It is surprising to realize that the pad actually affects the sound of D9200 dramatically.
Not sure where to buy, but the 7200 rings fit the 9200 exactly.
I'm going to have to search what you did to the stax pads as mine are incoming.
Thanks to your work we are saved the trouble of trial and error.
What would you say is the difference between the stax pad, and the stax modded pad, in relation to the stock 9200 pad?
No matter what pad I had on the 7200, I could tell the lower spectrum was colored (wood cup?), But not so with the 9200 having such clear low end.
They are expensive and many options to get wrong, especially the choice of inside foam, which I was surprised how hard my choice was for a smaller headphone.
I am also quite saddened at just how many pads out there I tried and they all alter the sound so much not in a good way.
After trying pads I must agree that the foam is very important to the sound.
Get bothyesterday i was in contact with vesper audio for custom pads, and when i was asked bout foam he just gave me 2 choice 1 memory foam and 1 regular foam, so I did not know what to choose. I asked them to design pads that are about for stax 009 which has 50x70 mm oval inner opening, 16-22 mm high in the back 18mm, 12 mm in the front . But then I did not continue the order as I did not know if his foam is going to be like the stax 009 pads.
As for price it came close to 75 Euro, any I stopped the order as reading the foam type is having a big effect on sound, until I learn more about what to choose

When I ordered the regular foam it was so stiff it was uncomfortable and not soft at all.As for price it came close to 75 Euro, any I stopped the order as reading the foam type is having a big effect on sound, until I learn more about what to choose
No, it would be an expensive blunder waste.Get both
FWIW, in all the measurements above, I have used the same D9200 long cables.
Thanks for that. Any idea how the D9200 measures against the TH900?
Looks like the 9200 drivers are less affected by the cups..Red: D9200 with modded D7200 pads
Green: D9200 with modded D7200 pads and cups from D7200
Looks like the 9200 drivers are less affected by the cups..
Which one may assume is due to greater control..
