This is a pretty cool tweak and a good alternative to EQ'ing high's I think, you can vary the amount of foam and/or put holes in the foam to adjust the high's to your liking. Im also experimenting with the foam (taken from cheap headphones earpads) and im enjoying this quite abit, the high frequencies are effected signifigantly, which is good in my situation (bright setup) but i'll keep it in mind if I get somthing warmer down the line, take about 1 minute to pull the foam out. Im very pleased with this sound, the bass tightened up quite abit and become punchier, the sound stage has improved. So right now, i've got the small circle on the butt of the driver, the cups are dynamated, leaving the round plastic plug in the middle, and the pads are stuffed. Well, spent the last hour taking the dynamat off the driver, it was tedious, but not to bad, it all came off pretty good. If you've done a partial mod, i'd like to hear what you did differently then the full mod. Maybe i've listened to the stock D2000 to long and come to expect a certain kind of sound. I started off doing the partial mod that markl recomended, dampening the cup, and the small circle, and stuffing the pads, I was quite happy with how this sounded and did not notice a lack of bass, then when I completed the mod and had my first listen I was very disapointed. I wonder if this dynamat extreme is to much for a D2K and more suited to a D5K, the main differnce being in the cups (D2K cup is more well dampened then stock D5k). The markl mod thread is pretty old and I know he does not mod the D2K in the same way as he did the D5K, and supposedly uses a lighter dampening material for D2k. I was just wondering for those of you out there who have done this mod, what your thoughts where on the before and after, and if you did a partial or complete mod. Im experimenting now with doing all the mods except the strip on the back of the driver, I took that off today and it sounds much improved to me. I think it ended up sounding to damped to me, to much bass was gone. Hello, I recently did the DIY markl mod on my D2000, I followed the guide exactly.
