Having just recabled my MS1's with some silver plated copper wire (Cabling supplied by HiGHFLYiN9 - Cable god!) i thought i'd have a little 'pad rolling' session
The first contender was the stock comfies - A bit of an ironic name IMHO as these pads definately are not as far as my ears go...
Thought the MS1's a little bright sometimes with the comfies, the recable however seems to have tamed this a little
Second up to the plate was a pair of deftly modded (Courtesy of Lisa - May she one day return) Senn 414 pads in the stock funky yellow!
These are a lot softer on the old ears, and with the hole mod tame the highs further and deepen the low frequency response at the cost of a slight reduction of speed/definition - A pleasant listen none the less
Our final pretender to the crown? - [size=small]Bowls![/size] - Run all ye who fear the mighty itchyness!
I can honestly say that combined with the sonic charecteristics of the cable the bowls are what i've been seeking in my pad quest (Bowls kindly shipped to me FOC by cannedheat - Thanks dude!
) I have an increased sense of 'airyness' over the comfies and the Senns and the bass 'speed' that was somewhat lacking with the Senns is back! They are even the most comfy of the 3! (IMHO - been wearing them for 3+ hours without issue
)
