This all started with you 'vouching' for Dekoni pads and the (persistently common) conflation of the HE400i and HE4XX (despite me previously explaining at length that their pads are different, both visably and sonically, which was somehow still not heeded by you). My posts since have been to correct this misinformation, and caution others against assuming 3rd party pads will have minimal effect on sound quality (for the many that come to an audio forum who very much care about sound quality), in particular by showing industry standard measurement data that suggest the very pad company you vouch for do not necessarily ensure their products have minimal adverse effects on the sound quality of the headphones they were made for. Feel free to ignore my posts, they're not for you - they're there to correct you, and your erroneous conjectures, for the benefit of other readers who may otherwise take them at face value.
