Hi! This is my first post in this forum and I would like to show you my Mangum Driver based headphone...

This is the first "test", the red/black cable from a cup to the other will be replaced (and hiddend in the headband), as you can see I'm using 414 pads (but I'm going to replace them with Lcush) and the headband is from a cheap headphone.
The cups are Al custom made with cnc tool with the possibility to add (or remove) the "liberators", the cable is a Canare quadstar, and the jack are Rean gold-plated.
I'm writing because I'm quite satisfied with the sound but I would like to have some suggestion on how to "change" the sound. Especially I found one that I would like to change/impove:
the kick drum/lower bass register is a litte too "slow". I mean sometimes the kick is not like "BUM" but it's like "BUUUum"... I would like to "dry" a little bit the overall sound and reduce the bass (or bass reflection?!). I was thinking to use MORE damping material. Is it right? or in this case i should REMOVE damping material? Also my liberator are WITHOUT any damping. should I insert some...? My fear was that I will lose or "reduce" the high frequency...
Thank you in advantage for your help,
Regards
Crim
EDIT: i don't know why I can't upload images. I'm sorry...
