I'll keep the Pawstex as they are then will do RP2 with the T40RPs for A/B
NO...it helps control the stray reflections from the driver and the rear of the cup.
First, concerning the Rastapants 2, great news! One thing is unclear, how do you appy dynamat/plasticine to the back of the cups. A picture of coverage and approximate depth would be nice.
Second, my next try to mod my cursed Fostex). On BMF advice I've replaced closed-cell hard acoustic foam with soft, open-cell acoustic foam. This material is made of foam-rubber, soaked in bitumen, closest thing that looks to Paxmate that I've found.
Here goes the picture:
White is the glue remains of the old dumping foam. Unfortunately, I've failed once again - sound has sharp midrange spike/resonance.
I've given up and ordered some Akasa Paxmate from Ebay. When it arrives I will do the sacrifices to head-fi gods and try to mod again, will follow the Rastapants 2 scheme.
Strange, but I've started to think that, maybe my plasticine is the culprit.

Does anyone have any idea of what the best portable amp is for these? I know I won't be getting the best sound quality with only a portable amp, but I'm going to use these while I'm traveling, without my computer to power a desktop DAC and amp.
