Have you tried it with both pads at the same time? I dont think we're comparing the same thing...? The ones (myself included) who are hearing differences have been using BOTH sides taped.

I need to spend some more time comparing it though... to be cont'd...

What if you cover the driver part with the tape? not the foam but the driver so the opening is a little smaller diamiter, similar to the hole on the bowls

i think the theory behind it is that the grado's lose sound/bass through the foam so by sealing that less bass is lost and is directed towards your ear instead.

I'm not willing to put selotape around my new 225's but if anyone else can think of a more sturdy solution i'll give it a try (the cut pipe idea sounds quite good...)

I'm gonna try this as soon as I get home.

WOWOW. Just did this on the SR-80. Sure it loosens the bass up a little, but its soooo much. wow

Yes, but Hello Kitty band-aids keep the bass tight and balanced while unequivocally eliminating any evidence of grato stridency.

wow just great, I shouldve found this earlier ..... the only reason I didn't want to get the sr60's was b/c I knew they wouldn't have provided the bass I needed but NOW

Um, yes, and the point was to only wear one so that I could detect a channel imbalance. You don't need to tape both for it to have an effect.

Ah.. but it do be the magical "both sides taped" effect

. When you have both sides taped they form an air tunnel through your head.

actually for my KSC-75's and older sony's ones... I use one pad on one side and a different one on the other and they didn't make much of a difference... but changing both sides makes them a new beast

this goes to any of the doubters

I hate you, and i hate the music you like!!

I have MS-1s with stock comfies.
I'm thinking about quarter-cutting and taping. Will it work on comfies or do they have to be shaped like bowls?

wow, a quintuple post?
