Success! I received the swabs this afternoon and have modified the Chu's:
It was very easy. The swab width you see in the images was my first try. I split a two ply swab into single layers, then cut a layer into three strips, rolled up two of the strips and tried them. Not bad, but rather dark, with upper bass a bit thick and female vocals recessed. Next I cut slightly narrower strips, trimmed about a third of their length and tried again. This is just right! The Chu's, with no eq, now sound really good and very, very natural. The balance left vs. right is perfect. The metal grilles pop straight back on. If you're careful you can reuse them. They sit very snug and flat, unlike they way they came from the manufacturer. If these homemade filters succumb to Moondrops extremely mysterious "vapors" I will be sure to update.
