Still waiting for my MS1i. Been almost 2 weeks and still no sign. Can't wait to mod it......if I ever get it.

Be brave, I have waited 3 months for the Pro exchange drivers.


My Ulti sings again.

From Alessandro itself. Wasn't that easy, and also not that cheap.

You think I can convince Alessandro to send me a pair of MS-1 drivers? How did you do it?

They only send them in exchange against the old systems...at least with the MS Pro.

So, I'd have to send back my pair of drivers when the new ones arrive? If that's the case, its much better than sending in the headphone for weeks before you get them back..

I'm afraid you have to send the old stuff first.

Here are my first steps to my ultimate Alessandros: MS1000

-ordered Alessandro MS1i
-got two blocks of mahogany wood (10x8x6 cm each) as seen on picture for wood cups
-got spruce wood for distancers

Not much,but that's a start!

Why not much? That's everything you need for a "boutique" MS1K, except Jumbopads.

How would it sound if you used comfies or bowls instead of jumbos?

Well,this was wallet-free!
Jumbo pads are quite expensive...

I said not much because nothing has been done yet...

I don't have a set of bowls to try, so I can't comment on that. but the comfies make the bass really, really forward. They also muddy it up quite a bit.

Bowls & distancers sounds principally quite allright, especially the bass is very tight. As downside, the soundscape effect is only mediocre, and there is some (small) nasal peak somewhere in the mids.

I tried comfies which I didn't like; too boomy bass, muddy etc. Also tried HD414 pads which were decent.Reversed HD414 pads were pretty good actually!
