The first phones I damped this way were the non-bass-heavy HP-3 I sent to Ireland, where this was the only way to preserve the bass while damping the other freqs.
I did a similar thing tonight with the T20, which had been lying unused for weeks, and..... surprise! Tons of bass, and a pretty well balanced sound, just this side of underdamped which suits me fine for the moment. Very smooth, very musical phones, with hard hitting bass that on certain songs makes you feel like you had a subwoofer strapped to your ears. I did not expect them to sound so good. I sometimes wonder what I would be listening to if wualta had not rescued orthos from oblivion.

This theory works by damping the driver strategically based on where it makes most bass and most treble. |
