tried my yellow pads with the px100 [listened from the headphone out only]...
although the mids and treble is exactly the same from the piso modded orig pads, with the yellow pad - the sound has more sense of 'soundstage' or space and the bass is more controlled - compared to the bass heavy yet bloated sound from the orig pads.
i could say that grado sr80's improvement from using the yellow pad is far from what can be achieved with the px100 + yellow pad combi BUT if you can get the hd414 replacement pads for ~usd4.00 [pwede na rin sa Php400], it's still a great way to improve px100's sound :) and it doesn' feel or sound 'lightweight' anymore :D

will give it another try next week with my headsave classic :D

i'll also try to post pics :D

jon, bare yellow pads. i didn't dare to put on the stockings as px100's treble is already shy.

aw, ok. we have the same observations about the px100-a bit shy treble wise, and a bit outgoing bass wise. :)

sputnik, while you are at it, why not upgrade the cables to audience wires as well? :twisted:

sputnik, i'm not sure how much it would cost you if you upgrade the stoack cables to audience wires, but in case it indeed would come out more expensive than the hd201, upgrade your phones so that your cans would be more expensive than the cables. :twisted: :lol:
