Did you see the drivers being made (or machinery to do the job) or did he just tell you that they are?

Because grado drivers SURE look like primo drivers (like they're identical), and it seems strange to have so many photos but none of the driver making process

I must say out of all honesty; that bowl resonator is defiantly a step in the right direction, and exactly what grados needed.

Did you get a chance to listen to the 32 headphone driver speakers? How did they sound? It's difficult for me to understand how they wouldn't sound weak & tinny!

WOW! Thanks for the pics. I've owned Grado phones for years and always wondered what their facilities were like.
