Topic: weird DPA 4060 bass problem

[yousef]

Is there a recommended way to remove the grilles? I've tried gently pulling and twisting them but there doesn't seem to be much movement.

Still really struggling with the distilled water. De-ionised is everywhere but the best I've done so far is a local pharmacy that said they could order it in specially but when they rang their supplier found that there was a production problem(!) and none was currently available.

Try getting distilled water from a cigar shop.  I know that most cigar humidifiers call for distilled water, so perhaps that would be a source?  Just a suggestion, since distilled water is fairly common here in the states.

Thanks again guys - your continued help and advice is much appreciated.

Off to the tobacconist's then...

Thanks for all that, Moke. Certainly some food for thought there... I wonder how a pair of resuced-from-the-garbage 406x's compare to another set of mics costing a similar amount. Even if they're not up to DPA standards, might they still be a significant upgrade for some tapers?

Looks like I'll be getting hold of some distilled water soon - I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.
