The following is a tune up for my K701. The added caps in the middle next to the 22nF ( 47nF in the standard board) are 220pF. So you need 2 x 22nF and 2 x 220pF. It gives the K701 a lot more weight and body.
Hi Stan, after applying this mod I can confirm that my HD800 now sounds less subtle, or in other words I now can't complain about any quiet bass
Thank you!
I've tried also Koss Sporta Pro headphones (as I do always first after any mod to test if it's safe to connect HD800), but those were not able to reproduce so much bass and was distorted even on average volume levels
I did not yet replaced the resistors as i'm not really sure about their wattage. I bought 0,4W resistors, but those are smaller (about a half) than original resistors - is it really OK to use 0,4W resistors here? I just want to avoid burning Gator/HD800s
Photo of the mod, it just replicates Stan's photo:
