    This is amazing work, thank you, @DEATHxMACHINE . I recently ended up with a Dekoni Blue nearly on accident and while I overall agree with your assessment, I heard enough potential in them that I'm now fiending for a proper mod. Any chance you'll be getting your hands on Argon Mk3 to add to the comparisons?

    @Climber my nomenclature is wrong. Argon mk refers to driver mk not mod iteration. I refer to mk1 and mk2 in this list but it should be mk2 and mk3. So to be clear, mk1 on my list is the argon mk2 and mk2 on my list is the argon mk3.

    @DEATHxMACHINE,

    Thanks for the comparisons of all the Fostex T50RP mods. Really helpful to get an idea of the differences between the many mods.

    Have you tried a T60-based Argon? Based on your impressions of the T60 and of the T50 Argon Mk 3, the T60 Argon-modded could be another good choice. I wonder if Modhouse could achieve the same T50 Argon Mk3 soundstage you describe with the sound signature of the T60?

    Came across this while looking for t50rp mods. Has anyone tried the Mayflower Audio mods?

    Also wanted to see if @rhythmdevils has any recommendations for mods since you seem to have experience with them.
