It'll be hard to decide which cup damping configuration I'd want without drivers to use... nice one Fostex! They sent foam and cups, that's it!

f**k YEAH. Excited to see what you guys come up with, I love the TH900 except for the cup reverb and... overall FR haha.

Don’t do it! You know that Kevin won’t accept anything but a Tannoy dual concentrics in them. ;P

Seriously though, sounds like a cool project, enjoy!

Excited to hear this. I have the D7K if you ever need to compare. Never heard cup reverb and (while a little colored) I always found Denon/Fostex more balanced than people make them out to be. Would avoid overdampening.

Maybe the drivers were quarantined for coronavirus... confirmed human-to-driver transmission

Biocellulose fiber is giving customs the heebie-jeebies.

Please add more bass, I want so much bass that it knocks out my teeth fillings!

I'm literally trying to get as much bass as possible so long as it doesn't get in the way of the mids... but that zingy treble just has to go. I don't think stock bass is as boosted as the reviews led me to think - not nearly as boosted as a lot of the commercial IEMs I've heard.

IME a lot of guys coming from 2-channel tend to like a more forward bass presentation, emulates some of that tactility / room response.

The bass is the selling point of the TH-900, a v-shaped signature is fine to me. Most times I hear the TH-900 the treble wears me down and I can't listen long with my bright weeb music at least.

Findings so far are that switching to the X00 pads will help with the mids and treble quite a bit, but I hate them because they're too small and too shallow, and the material is blah. The provided supplies only really helped with changing bass +- about 4dB. Waiting for the OK to tear them apart and start working on the back side of the baffle.
