Since loctite isn't good on plastic, you could try rubbing some beeswax onto the threads to give them some extra stick. Or what about white teflon plumber's tape? That might be better.
Hey all, I'm having a minor issue and figured this was the thread to ask. I custom made a comfort strap for my T50Rp's. As you know, the comfort straps fasten with 2 screws, 1 screw per side. Currently, 1 screw will slowly loosen up a bit. If I don't re-tighten, it will eventually cause the assembly to fall apart. Has anyone tried using some blue Loctite on this screw? I suppose it would come down to whether loctite is compatible with plastic? Edit: just looked it up and not recommended for plastic. other ideas to achieve end result?
While I'm aware of this issue, my wife will forget & I don't want them to fall apart on her.
Are you dealing with the new version t50rp or the older? If it's the older from 5+ years ago, I always enjoyed the lattice mod outlined in the first page. But I had mixed and matched on top of that. You can start with the dbv3 mod, the basic one outlined on first page, then tinker from there with pad rolling/custom cups/baffles/ recable and so on. It seems like the t50 mod fad has died out quite a bit. I still love mine, and it took years to get to a mod I can just sit aside and not tinker. Although, I still want to.
Thanks for your post. I think I will buy the Mayflower Mod kit and give that a shot, per your comments I will also add the treble reflector as mentioned on the first page (that mod did seem to have many fans). Still need to wait for my DAC/Amp to arrive and then break these in for a few weeks, then it's time to mod.
Also I have some dynamat sitting around, I might try adding that in somewhere, maybe in place of the modeling clay.
Beware, dynamat is about as messy as it gets
I've used it quite a bit, I agree it can get messy, but once it's in place it's not bad.
