Yup, but cheap money finances got tied up elsewhere getting them Monday!
I like the idea of using that black cloth electrical tape. I just bought some white duct tape to mod my Mrs. S400's but am now thinking the other tape might work better. It was gonna look so tight with the white tape on her white cans. Did you apply a layer of tape over the exposed plastic surfaces? I thought the current mod of the day was to cover those surfaces with tape (kind of like a mini dynamat treatment) so they won't resonate?
Did a little playing around. I tried a thicker felt pad between the back and the speaker.
I think U forgot that the rear cup needed to be weighted down with duct tape or tape I used to deaden it from vibrations, not just the driver surface.
Then you nock on the back hoising to test & should sound from hollow to solid .
All is well. Not a HUGE difference, but then again, I only listened to them for 10 minutes before I decided to mod it. If I had to discern the difference before and after the mods, it would be that after the mods they seem more well rounded. Not as boomy in the bass, more accurate, but doesn't lack the impact that it had before. Treble is more noticeable, which is good. Honestly can't discern a difference before/after with the mids because I didn't analyze them too heavily before.
Would anybody be able to compile a list of all the mods and part replacements that people have mentioned for the S400s, or would it be advised to just rummage through the thread to find them instead?
In the latter case, what mods or part replacements are suggested for beginning audiophiles who have the S400s?
