Just sharing that I was struggling with the comfort of my SigPro today, and decided to try swapping on the alpha pads of my Mad Dogs. It's a very loose fit, but it certainly makes the SigPro significantly more comfortable. 
 
What pads have others tried successfully with the Signature Pro?

Can you post a pic or four?  The pad comfort is exactly why I got rid of my Sig Pro's and have often thought about Alpha pads as being the answer.

I don't think it's the answer as it's loose, but it helps in an at home setup. It 'works' for me because I have it lying around so it cost me nothing, but I would much prefer one that holds firmly while providing at least the same level of comfort.
 
 
Edit:
Stock pads removed.

Did you leave the stock pads on and put the Alpha pads on over them? Might be worth a try as I can't tell.

Let me know if anyone is changing pads, may want to buy your old pads, if you are nonsmoking environment of course, and throw these away.  The cost of a new pair is a bummer.

Stock pads were removed to fit the Alpha pads.

Do yourself a favor buy new.  The pads themselves begin to lose firmness after about a year or so of use, not to mention diminished comfort. 
 
IMO you would be doing yourself a disservice in not hearing the Sig Pro with a new pair of pads.

Thanks for the input. Headfi is so helpful even after years. That didn't even occur to me.

And I consider earpads as expendable items. My recent experience was that depending on the amount and quality of the usage (ie. how much torture the pads had to withstand) it can be helpfull to replace the pads after two years latest. I waited too long and began to abandon the Sig Pro because of discomfort issues. But not only the comfort came back, the sound got fuller and richer again.

So, I got the Oyaide cable for my Sig Pro and it is pure awesomeness.
 
The only caveat is that the cable is stiffer than the stock + the connector does not lock like the stock cable. You can still insert and twist, but you don't get that tight lock, but it will not fall out.
 
But oh my the sound... I think it's worth checking out for Sig Pro owners out there.

HUGO  +  SigPro  anyone ?   Good synergy ?

To be clear, this is the cable I bought:

It's made for the HD598 but also works with the Sig Pro
