I got everything laid out, going single ended. I've got the spacer clearanced and ready to paint and glue. Going balanced would take away from the design of the cans, ease of use, lightweight, not be a cabling pain in the ass. A single connector is so much easier and... I'm lazy. oh, I swapped the pads from my DT990s and they fit well. The stock 990 silver pads have a smaller ID than the Sonys but the Sonys are soo damn mushy that they don't retain much shape. I think I might try the Dekoni memory foam pads for the 990s. Now I just gotta make sure I love these cans before modding them.
How do the Beyer pads change the sound?
