Again, big thanks to Whitigir, tokyoskies and others for putting crazy (Mad Scientist) kinds of ideas in my head
So I went ahead and put the Z7 under the knife.. Again..
To my surprise it wasn't all that bad and the operation went rather smoothly.
After removing the Center Filters I decided now was a good time to try out the Pad Spacer Mod.
I choose some thick leather for my "Half Baked" attempt.
From start to finish it took about 20min for both Filter and Pad modifications.
I sat back and had a listen and quickly noticed the intense acoustic detail and laser precision treble.
It was like adding a couple Ferrofluid Titanium Tweeters to the mix.
With a frequency range of 4hz-100khz it was like opening up a Gateway to the Ultrasonic unknown..
For me and my girly baby ears it was to much!!
( probably cause my hearing has been though hell and back - loud jobs, loud cars exe. )
It sounded great but the UN-hearable Ultra highs was like listening to Laser beams.
So I whipped up some filters.
Since we all, already have 3M Mircopore Tape and ease of use I decided to go that route.
I tried 3M Durapore as well, but for now my sweet spot is a Double stack of Micropore.
The nice thing about using the Tape is
It's cheap.
You can make 100's of filters per roll.
You can make pretty much what ever size and shape you want.
The tape filters are removable, so you can pop them on and off depending on your listening mood.
You can layer or "Stack" the filters to fine tune your acrostic preference.
..And you can add color.
I suck at this "how to" stuff. and my writing is riddled with errors, I'm sure.
But anyways I will try and add a short tutorial if anyone is going down the same path.
