So Bill, the dynamat and the rug liner material mods supersede the TP and other material used previously?

Well, not quite.

There's still a bit of TP in there in order to nudge the FR in the right direction. But there is much less than before as I've figured out the minimum amount necessary.

From the looks of things, the mod consists of:
- Dynamat Extreme all over the back of the headphone while leaving the "holes" open.
- Some amount of tissue paper/toilet paper behind the oval white fabric screen.  I'm guessing this is the same size as the screen?
- A 1cm thick paper ring ontop of the oval white fabric screen.
- Some shelf liner and mesh, presumably to hold down the front/provide some protection/for comfort. 

Would this be correct?

So will you have a post putting everything together?

Yes. That is quite correct. The steel mesh actually serves a different purpose that I'll mention later on.

As for dynamat, it's actually in more spots than just the back. Basically... any surface that could have taken dynamat was pretty much covered in the stuff.

So will you have a post putting everything together?


Yes. As soon as I have confirmed that it will work with a 2nd pair of HD600. :)

I don't believe in not revealing things and keeping them proprietary. I just need to confirm the effect of the mod as well as further applicability.

Haha, you know...

That's actually a good idea if you don't mind. I'll do this one for free since you helped me out with LCD-2 and all. :)

Will PM you with details. Hopefully, this one will give you incentive to keep the HD600 along with your other high-end headphones.

Bwahahaha. Well, I'm removing myself away from the equation so all that's left are the things that I usually wear on my head: glasses and HD600. ;)

I actually kind wish I had the HD600 earlier, because then I would have been able to get the tonality of the LCD-2 just right!
