    Very strange hd650/600 body swap quesitons

    Why are you replacing the cup? Why not just replace the drivers? Then the HD600 housings will match completely (marbled). Its really easy to remove the drivers, just wedge a small flat blade screwdriver in there and pop it out.

    Yet another strange Goodwill find...

    What model are those boston acoustic speakers? If they are the Media Theater series, with the 8 inch sub, then they are the best 2.1 system I have ever heard for a computer... The bass response is amazing for that system.

    [help please] grado's grattle

    In my opinion the best method is the spoon method. Slide a spoon in the area between the 2 housings and use the taper to spread the halves apart... You could try fixing it by slight sucking on the driver on the cloth side. Keep trying it until you fix the problem.

    Sennheiser/Grado hybrid?

    Putting 5xx/6xx drivers in grado housings could be done, but it would be harder... You would have to sand down that little wire channel on the senn drivers, and be VERY careful with the wires... I also don't know what you would do for a cable solution, those tiny wires would have to remain...

    Sennheiser/Grado hybrid?

    The spare driver was from an sr-60 that I accidently killed. I would be the first to do this, but it would involve killing some cans . I have working ms-1s and (now) working HD-600s. If anyone has any dead HD580/590/595/600/650s, let me know. Id need some grado/alessandro drivers as well. It...

    Just receieved HD600s, first impressions

    Well, for the time being it appears to be fixed. I took some masking tape and gently pulled the driver up. Everything looked good. I played music, bass rattle was still there but not as bad. I gently sucked on the back of the driver, heard a pop, now all is well. I think what happened was that...

    Sennheiser/Grado hybrid?

    While looking at my blown right HD600 driver, I found that the SR-60 driver fits perfectly into the hole... This could lead to some interesting hybrids.

    Do these drivers look good? I found something rather interesting while they were out. SR-60 drivers fit perfectly into the hole for the senn driver... Followup in the DIY section.

    Just receieved HD600s, first impressions

    There was a small piece of the wire that looked like transducer wire about 1 inch long sticking out the hole... It brushed off, it didnt appear to be attached to anything. As you can see, the driver looks fine...

    Big big problem... tried playing A Perfect Circle's "The Noose"... It sounds like the right driver is blown. On any kind of bass impact there is a horrible distortion... Any suggestions?

    Just receieved HD600s, first impressions

    Just got my refurbed HD600s from amazon... Some first impresions are: Man, these are sharp looking. Put them on my head... Hmm they clasp kind of tightly (vice). Wait, these are supposed to be more comfortable than my MS-1s? They aren't - to me. Plug them into the amp im using... The noise...

    Grado/Alessandro Reconditioning

    Yea I have, it is a problem with the phones... Its not severe, it just seems like the right side is tiny bit quieter. I have put like 1000 hours on these since I got them, though
