I regret nothing.

... yet.

In all seriousness, this is going to be a worklog. I bought this HD700 used for quite cheap with the intent of modifying it to remove the awful treble peakage and ringing. I have no idea how well this is going to work out. I talked briefly with bill in the shoutbox about damping materials and have a few different ideas/plans.

More to come. Perhaps tomorrow when I'm not tired and its not 3 AM.

You can light it on fire and burn it. Maybe we could all pitch in with some money.

Nah, better to see him squirm when he's going through figuring out that he can't do jack with the drivers. Or finding out the only solution was dog shit.

May I suggest a silent ban? Can e-mail Jude for a how-to.

For science Takato can do an iFixit to conclude with a "will it blend" to conclude: the HD700 made for audio, not salad.

Tak, if you get tired of it let me know before you sell it. Might want to try a few things.
