How are you going about the Magnum build?

 

I figure you can sell the stock drivers for some cash to help you with the project. 

 

You can PM TheLostMidrange or e-mail Ohrenholz for wood rings and just use the stock plastic caps (they don't make a huge difference) and just pay the $140 for drivers and save 100+ bucks.

 

Don't worry about the stock cable if you're tight on money, it's definitely good enough guys. Coming from me, that should definitely mean something.

If you get the drivers now you don't actually need to put them in anything fancy right away. You can save for the nice wood cups later.

Chris is right, it's not a big deal. I recommend one of these too.

The newest arrival is the PS500. But since I have it only for one week it is a bit too early to say something. On some recordings the bass is a bit too much for me... but with other recordings it just sounds right to my ears...

New Grado fan boy here!!!!!   Yes, the GS1000i and the GS-1 amp is a match made in heaven.  But????  Where do I go from here.  RS1i, 325is, PS1000?  So many choices, So little money.

 

I just love this sound.  Perfect for Dee Dee Bridge Water, Diana Krall, Rachelle Ferrell.

 

Help!!!!!

I still don't want to run the risk of messing something up and ruining a pair of drivers which I do NOT have the cash to replace. Chris, as in Langley. SPEAKING OF WHICH. He wants to be UNbanned, like he asked the mods to ban him as to prevent him from posting because he lacks self control (who doesn't?). Anyway, he wants to be unbanned. Can anyone help him out with this?
