I had an interesting recent experience with TTVJ Flat Pads I wanted to share and see if anyone else experienced something similar. I tried them on my Grado SR-225's with my Woo Audio 3 w/ various NOS/Used tubes and my Pioneer DV-414 cd/dvd player. I absolutely hated what they did to the sounstage, bass and, well, just about everything else. Since I just bought some AKG 501's and wanted to offset their cost, I decided to sell my SR-125's that I mostly use when listening to music using the cd drive on my computer when surfing the web, etc. I was sitting at the computer listening to a wonderful cd, Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson", and decided to try them on the SR-125's. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
..........What a difference.......and in a very positive direction. I couldn't believe the absolutely wonderful difference in the one application and the simply horrid degredation in sound, in my humble opinion, in the other application. I went back and forth between the 2 setups with and without Flat Pads and the difference was consistently present.
Aren't SR-125's and SR-225's very closely related? It must be mostly the difference in the other components that makes the difference.
Bottom line. I'm keeping both the SR-125's and the Flat Pads. I'll figure some other way to pay for the AKG's.
Has anyone else run into a similiar situation?
