Wow, thanks for sharing this. Also thanks for making them Jerg. I just need to find myself some time to make myself some Jergpads with my spare pleather pads. Hmmm, any new innovations to raise the Jergpads 2K~ area to the Velour levels? But with that said, I need to make myself some Jergpads tonight!

The pads purrin measured are version 1 of the mod.

The version 2 actually has 2 additional components to the procedure, 1 to really improve the sub-bass extension, the other to completely remove the "cupped" feeling of the pleather material - that could be what you are looking for.

I think I might try up to version 2. For the stacks of tape, would it be better to use a 3M double sided sticky tape thing and cover it with one layer of electrical tape? I have some lying around that I need to use

Er the tape stacks you just stack layers of tape, there is no need of double-sided tape at all. The only parts where double-sided tape comes in are III and IV.

I want to use it because one layer of the sticky tape can act as 4 electrical tapes stacked (estimating)?

Wait are the 3M tapes thick? The dollar store double-sided tape I used in the mod are incredibly thin, they are basically just films with adhesive on both sides.

Moderately thick* I would say. I would say that 3-4 layers of electrical tape equals to one layer of the stick tape

EDIT*: thick not thin. currently cutting away!

Fuck these scissors suck! It's not a smooth snip, the blades seem to be either bent or layers of glue must be rubbing causing the motion to be jerky

Huh, I have to edit the guide then. I thought they would be thin, like packing tape thin.

Before you do anything, let me try to finish up and confirm my claim. Still trying to hack away with crummy scissors

All I edited was a few words in the list of tools needed, to clarify that the double-sided tape needs to be the thin variety.

By the way, what I mean about that variety is shown in pics 20~21.

Ah I see. My 3M tape is rubbery and much thicker than yours. Also, it's grey, not transparent.

Seriously though, what phones sound good w/ velours?  The only ones I can think of are Senns like the 558/598.  I can't think of a phone I've ever kept velour pads on.
