from what i saw , those bass traps are similiar to mine:) What is inside yours ? rockwool ?

Acoustimac Eco core Insulation

is the best sound insulation we have to offer in terms of performance. It outperforms them both and is much more durable and does not irritate skin like fiberglass does. Not to mention it’s made of 100% recycled materials and is completely biodegradable.

Freebird is for drunk/high people to jam out to. They can't remember anything so the last 7 minutes of the same 5 notes doesn't bother them.

Hitting hard, guitars with bite, percussion with drive, clear mids and treble, bass and sub bass with grind and detail, driver control may be thru the roof. Yes, I am pleased...

I get what you’re saying. Glad the Jot2 is doing it for you!

I'll be here to buy things when you purge. Bwhahahahaha

6 moons is bad poetry but I got the impression that he liked it more than the Adagio. I am evaluating the JBL's..the dac is ongoing. I'll use headphones for that after tidal Muzak has run for a couple of days.

Were you able to fix the 2 broken feet on your unit?

The feet fit on the remaining nylon pegs fairly snug, only the screw tops broke off. I sent a critical email to hifheaven and Sonnet . Dac slid back and forth in the Sonnet box,no foam, no wrap, the outside box was reused, oversized and slit with a razor for new big flaps and had minimal cushioning. It was pretty mushy. I am letting them off the hook cause the dac is wonderful. I just want me loose screws replaced.

Or go searchin' for your mainline, just like Sister Ray says...

You might need a "Tool" to find out how "the pieces fit", there is a reason for the "Schism."

alas, Morpheus arrived on 2 broken feet, some 3rd world oem packaging,poorly designed thin cardboard cutout, thin oem box, no foam anywhere, dac slid about, likely on 3 dimensions, no plastic wrap for moisture, will need new feet, no other damage, breaking in with pi2aes now....so far, so good...

Good point, thin pads may be used to minimize pad impact on sound, I have moderate hearing loss at 8 khz. I am already missing the highs. I doubt these would reflect any sound at all, bass is still good because I still get the sound direct to my ears. My guess is there is less interplay with the pads.

Larger interiors help get more of the speaker exposed too. Just as resolving as either hifiman pad, Being slightly further from the driver with more driver exposed can't be bad, can it?

Fix it on the outside with Sharpie or inside with wabi sabi.

@GoodEnoughGear gets plus points for wabi-sabi, haha. I rather like the look of worn (but not filthy) gear myself, it adds more character than it deducts from resale value.

Oh god... Keep you roofs on, your heads down, and your feet out of the water.

Very best wishes to all you people over there. Take care!

Stay safe.

Not looking forward to it myself all the way up in Jax.
