Tyll Hertsens Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hd 650 if you just want to keep listening to the lovely music. HD 800s if you want to spend the next year figuring out how to make them sound great...which they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tari Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ha e you done the mod, Doug? Do eet! I'd say its about time for that article to be updated... Congrats Doug, now you can hear why I like the L-2 so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyll Hertsens Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Agreed. Been thinking about it; it's on the list for the right time. Anex hasn't completed his production mod, has he? I'm kinda waiting for that to shuffe some orders his way if he does it. Better PM him sometime soon to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 No, Anax halted all work on 3.0 because another mod overshadowed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Damn. Got a linky? There's so many of these mod threads I can't keep track. Same for me....I'm still using the original one that you posted a how-to, but I'd be interested in switching to a better mod if there's one out there.

dsavitsk Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Not sure if it is useful to anyone, but I edited Tyll's pattern to make the lines thicker and get rid of the extra stuff. The reason being that you can use the toner transfer method to transfer this directly onto (wool) felt to make cutting easier. The moment between a decently transferred image, and burned piece of felt is short. These now sound more like my HD650s ... not sure that's a good thing here SennheiserHD800modTemplateEDIT.pdf Edited May 5, 2013 by dsavitsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkJake Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) These now sound more like my HD650s ... not sure that's a good thing here Hmmm, intriguing. If this is so, then what indeed would be the point of moving up? I suppose then question remains, is the difference enough to justify the expense?

Tari Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I hope you're not serious about that link. Otherwise your remaining time here may be short. Link was serious. If it is breaking some unspoken rule - well perhaps that can be spelled out. Mod is... well, Tyll hasn't measured it so I'm not sure how well the objective data will line up with early subjective impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnaud Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Last I read, spirit over there wasn't quite the refreshing kind it used to be, so am not surprised people don't generally want the links here. I for one since I got banned in a click and can't read anyway lol. Best thing that happened to me over that side in retrospect . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod is... well, Tyll hasn't measured it so I'm not sure how well the objective data will line up with early subjective impressions The only reference I could see on that page regarding a new mod where Anaxilus "halted all work on 3.0 because another mod overshadowed it." was a link to a joke thread you made on that forum regarding using Siracha sauce inside a HD800. I wonder if Nate is commenting less about linking to that forum than the fact that you setup your post and followed through with that link in order to (seemingly) troll.

arnaud Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 On the topic, I recall seeing some measurements of recent mod that did not only tame the upper mid range peak but also prevent the dip the in response below (3-6kHz if I remember right). Hence seemed quite promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Nate is commenting less about linking to that forum than the fact that you setup your post and followed through with that link in order to (seemingly) troll. Yeah, I'm commenting on the fact that the link appears to point to a post/thread which recommends putting hot suace on headphones as a legit mod. If I'm missing something, Tari, let me know. Otherwise I couldn't give a shit what forum you link to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Oh, then we're totally on the same page. That's exactly what I was trying to say. But it was a (joking) comment aimed at Tyll, who had taken an interest in it on that site that he needs to update the IF article. I can guarantee that no joke involving Sri Racha is ever in bad taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I can guarantee that no joke involving Sri Racha is ever in bad taste. On this we'll have to disagree. Keep Tyll informed on real information, lest he go off chasing something that isn't clearly a joke until you follow a link, read a thread, follow another link and then find out you've just wasted five minutes on something that's just dumb.

skullguise Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 FWIW, without any hot sauce, my newly acquired HD-800's - out of the modded Adcom GCD-750 and into the DSHA-1 - sound REAL nice. Steps below the NAD M51 to KGSS/007's, but still very enjoyable. May look into the mod sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I really enjoyed the HD800's out of the DSHA-1, glad you like it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
