I really do not pour water to excitement with the mod ideas. But here is my two cents based on my experience in speaker driver measurements (all dynamic headphone drivers are basically the same transducers relying on the same physics).
I have seen countless mod examples of headphones here at head-fi, MOST of which were done by ear, not by measurements. And all of them I've seen were supposed to have an effect on either damping or reflection, NOT on performance due to the driver's diaphragm resonance pattern or motor design. Tyll's measurements of the Tascam/Teac basically tells that there is not much to modify with these headphones. Possibly you may change their bass/midbass response a bit by adjusting damping, but you will not be able to improve their response behavior above 2 kHz to any audibly significant level, unless you can redesign/resource the drive unit itself. If you believe you hear a substantial difference, it will be only in your head. EQ is your friend in this case.
