I've been doing some "behind the scenes" investigating to see if I can determine the cause for the delays in the Grado cups being shipped from Bilavideo. About the only conclusion that I can come up with is as follows:

The fact is, my brain is like a sponge. Sometimes, I remember too much of what I shouldn't remember and not enough of what I should remember.
hah, mine is the same. I'm incredibly observant and pick up and remember little details about everything, and absorb knowledge on things I do as hobbies like audio and electronics but when it comes to my academic studies for instance, it doesn't wanna stay in there for very long
Amazing pic Cabillas.
Just got back from a quick trip to Isla Canela and Sevilla as I was in the Algarve working on my tan. The cataplana was very tasty
Mind telling the story behind that amp?
And the Alu/madera copas, will this be a design you're offering too?
OPENING UP YOUR SR60i
Fortunately, the SR60i is one of the easier Grados to open up. Its cups are held together by rubbery glue that's heat-sensitive. Softening the glue is simply a matter of steaming the cups till the glue loosens up. I've ruined a few shells by putting them in boiling water (bad idea). You don't need a full boil, just steam. A few minutes of a shallow steam bath will do the trick - at least with the SR60i.
I filled a teapot with water, got it hot an d steamy and then poured a shallow layer of water into a cake pan. That's the objective. Of course, to place my cups in steamy water, I had to first prepare them.
The minimalist design of the SR60 makes it easy to take apart. The forks that connect the cups to the headband just clip on - and what clips on can as easily clip off.
Okay class, quick question: Which side would you want your cups facing when they hit the water? Top side up or Poseidon Adventure?
If you said, "Top side up," you should register to vote. But I digress.
Give it just enough time to do its thing and you'll be able to pry your Grados apart WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. (Chuck Norris can do it without the steam.) It's a little drippy but it wipes right off, revealing undamped plastic chambers, the magnet plate, those holes we want to pop and some wiring we're going to mess with before this story is over.
No problem. I'd be glad to assist where needed. Actually, there are lots of times when my wife has a random question and I have an immediate answer for her. After a while, the thinks that I'm actually making the stuff up. The fact is, my brain is like a sponge. Sometimes, I remember too much of what I shouldn't remember and not enough of what I should remember.
