I had come across an article or thread about converting the rackmount on the BFD to a standard cabinet style but I cannot find it after an hour of searching. Does anybody know where that was or have you done something different? I am thinking of either cutting the ears off of the current rackmounts or getting some aluminum plate and cutting it to size. I would also add some rubber feet from the hardware store. Any other suggestions?

SOP is to unbolt them and carefully cut the ears off with a hacksaw.
I just get the little peel and stick feet from HH or Lowes

I haven't cut my ears off but I found a great way to stop these pro-gear boxes from sliding about on each other or on my glass rack shelves when I press the buttons: Sticky, perforated, flat, rubber mats designed for old people to get a good grip on screw-top jars and bottle tops. These mats are thin enough not to show a gap between stacked pro-gear boxes. The ones I have are about 5" diameter and less than an 1/8" thick. They were almost giving them away in the local supermarket so I bought a pack of six in tasteful, mat black for about $1.50 equiv.  |

I wonder what having no ears on the outside of our heads would do to our hearing.  .... Probably attenuate higher frequencies a bit... |

Years ago (decades maybe?) some fellow sold a pair of leather 'ear extenders' to enhance the 2 channel music listening experience. He advertized them in various audio magazines.
They essentially functioned the same as were one to cup their hands behind their ears. Sam Tellig of Stereophile commented about this product in one of his columns.
So try cupping you hands behind your ears while listening to music. The difference between cupping and non-cupping, would be very close to the difference between having ear lobes and not having them....

I have to cup my hands behind my ear sometimes as it is just to hear some things, its just my left ear though. Thank god. I can tell with doing that that it helps some.
