how us older guys rock, and a
tip of the hat to Neil.
Thanks for that Brian. Especially enjoyed the second clip. Surprised you didn't link one of the clips you'd posted in other thread (Bonamassa at Albert Hall) - they were truly magic (I will forever be indebted - just recently bought "Live From Nowhere In particular"
).
Anyway - I know most of you guys are probably more interested in the wood mods, but I thought I'd contribute my progress to date .....
Started off with MS1is - added 414 quarter modded, opened the cups, vented 4 holes (may reverse this eventually), added a small piece of thin foam to the back of the driver (again may reverse), then added bowls. Just got my Aluminiumcups from Twinster today, and also a Beyer DT770 headband.
So here's the progress to date ....
And the best 'mod' so far was buying a PortaTube - which pairs just
magically with new MS1is - the sound is really something else :
Anyway - still to do:
- Get some jumbos
- Liberate the drivers, and replace the plastic 'base' with wood. Already had brief PM with Marty - and will be arranging this as soon as I can afford it. Will probably get matched bass + slip-on cup. Then I can directly compare the wood with aluminium vs all wood.
Assumption is add the jumbos for comfort and sound-stage, aluminium to accent the mids/highs and wood to keep the lows/lower-mids. A mix of the two should be interesting.
Even with just the simple stuff I've done so far though, the current result is both comfortable and a lot more intoxicating.
I'll keep you posted.
