Hi all ,
I have a pair of Fostex T-20 RPs . I bought these 10 years ago and soon found out that these are keepers..... simply beautiful sounding sweet headphones .
Since these have gained huge popularity among DIYers i also followed some modding instructions and used plasticine and felt inside as i couldnot find paxmate .
Lately i have found that the earcups and hence the speakers dont fit well on my ears . They leak from the lower poles where the ear cup sits on the jaw, and if i cup my hands on the cans and make the fit tight , they deliver that ecstatic Bass which i need.
i have opened up the cans a number of times and tried to troubleshoot the weak point and have found out that a tiny screw holds the metallic headband to the plastic frame .This screw is responsible for a more flexed angulation of the ear cups and a better fit. but somehow i am unable to fix it .The plastic socket has worn off its screw rings and the screw wont tighten up . Theres got to be a way around . Hence i ask .
i would like to know by any means if the cans fit on the ears firmly , coz I know I do head banging too when the music goes beserk. lolz.
