Hi Folks,

Are the Doggie treats for the Alpha Primes still available? Any suppliers here in the UK?

If not, what do you guys use as a substitute?

Thanks in advance.

The doggie treats have been discontinued unfortunately. However, they can be made fairly easily but obviously without the precision of the machine cut treats.

The base is akasa paxmate 2 which has been cut like an arch. This can be crudely accomplished using a stanley knife. Atop this is a piece of stiffened craft felt, and that's it.

If you are trying to cut down and smooth treble more aggressively, melamine foam works really, really well when cut into a 5mm thick piece covering the whole driver, which is what ZMF uses - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magic-Sponge-Sponges-100-Pack-Cleaning-Melamine-Foam-Eraser-Stain-Dirt-Remover/361976820749?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
(and you'll have enough foam for about 600 pairs of t50's for 8 quid :beyersmile:)

Thanks very much for your reply, very helpful indeed! :)
I removed the 'treats' that came with the Primes (stored away in case they are needed some other time) they sound great as they are.
