The RD version 1 mods above (includes instructions) still work very effectively.

RD version 2 has some issues with taking away from too much of the HD800s openness. We know what to do but haven't had time to address it. What we are looking to do is to make an easy DIY kit.

purrin... Got any tips on which materials to use. I turned all the mats in flat up-side-down, no worthy candidate. (Already have Anax 1.0, so it's just the perforated thingie I'm after).

And one more thing. Great that you're releasing it as a finished kit. Kudos!

Send me a PM. I'll mail you some raw material.

How is the commercial Rabid Dog mod kit coming along? I would like to buy one ASAP! 

Coming along.  It's been an incredibly busy last few months w/ work, holidays, CES, gear reviews/auditions, assisting product development, etc.  Things should ramp up a bit quicker now.

 

I thought about it but the idea of it being messed up and having to deal w/ the negative press, unintended effects and warranty claims seems like a nightmare.  The first DIY version already got some bad press from poorly implemented clones that in some cases made the problems worse.  If something goes wrong, I prefer it to be my fault.  Believe it or not, doing that sort of kit is actually more of a logistical nightmare for me based on the new material.  So in a way, it's not really feasible as there is some nuance involved in the process that requires more than a pair of scissors.  Just a little more patience. 

I am still amazed that a company with large bank can't do the "mods" to their products that others have to come up with to make them better. I don't think it is money anymore. It's incompetence. Or they just don't give a shit about the sound anymore.
