I have the K701s and i'd read on this forum that there are some with 2 foam pad layers and some with one. I was wondering if there might be any way to tell which one I have without tinkering, using the serial number or something (I don't want to tinker for fear of irreversible damage)

Grab pad. Twist counter clockwise. It will slide a little, and you can take it off. There should be 1-2 foam donuts behind it. Apparently they started with 2, but changed it to 1 somewhere along the line.

Ah yes, that is easy. It appears mine only has one foam pad. S/N 144xx

Thanks

really? never heard of them having 2 disks

i have some spare ones at home, i might put 2 in just to see what it sounds like

mine's got only 1 and it's serial 4885

if you stick some foam in tell me what it sounds like. I'd be interested to know because I find them a tad bit bright, maybe some more foam would help, although I don't have any foam donuts... might just find some cheese cloth or something...

Mine are serial 1839, only have one foam pad/disk on each side. I don't believe the previous owner did anything with switching the foam, but I could be wrong.

How many rings should I add to my k240 to make them sound like R10's?

i'd say 2

Done, let me burn them in for a few months, then I'll let you know how it worked.

i'm expecting good things man, anything less, and i may have to off myself

Well I added my spare foam disks on to my K701s

First thing to mention is that I doubt that AKG included 2 x foam disks with early K701 and if they did they wouldn't have been the same thickness as the current disks because when installed it has this wierd looking bulge that sticks out and begins to touch my ears.

Sound wise it's not much different. I actually expected more of a difference considering my experiments with the K501 and the K701 without disks but the sound changes ever so slightly for the worse. Bass impact and quantity are decreased, ever so slightly and mids/highs become a little less pronounced and muffled. Differences are very slight however.

Thanks for the info

I probably won't bother trying to find foam pads then.

Fuck the rings, just put some dynamat all over the insides and they'll easily whoop the R10.

It's true, my PortaPros just edged out the HE90 after the Dynamat MarkL mod.

Hmm, well I was thinking of cryo treating my donuts.

i added dynamat to my brainstem and now the bass is tremendous.

Any sibilance?

I dunno, I usually like my donuts when they're still hot and fresh off the donut making contraption.

Well he had a mean lisp to begin with, so one could hardly hold MarkL responsible for the remaining sibilance.

These donut jokes are going too far.

Save the donuts!

Then I don't know about the dynamat solution. \

You know, (Walt) Disney tried cryo-treating his head, look where it got him.

No, that was coco-treating... different.

A friend told me that he heard from someone that if you do the dynamat mod, it takes like 47 man-years for burn in or something like that. I'd let em go 50 before listening, just to be safe tho...

What is that in woman years?

...Shit.
