Sweet looking headphone Brooko!!!

Do you guys think the Grado 15ft / 4,5(and then some)meter extension cord would actually be a good purchase? Thinking of picking one up from a local fair as a little bit more movability around the room could be useful.

I actually have 2 of them and couldn't be happier with them. I think for the price you cant beat it.

I know that for a while, there were commercial options for distancers, do they still exist?

 

Unfortunately I have no idea.  I was going to go down the MS1 >> MS1000 track at one stage - then I got lost in the standard Grado mod thread, and ended up with my own little Grado nirvana ..... 325i with Cabillas fwj, Headphone Lounge headband, home-made Canare recable, and a couple of other tweaks.  Basically cured any desire I had to pursue the MS1000 idea .

Those look great!

I think it is well worth having, I use it with my Grados and haven't noticed any changes in sound & increased mobility is nice.

I bought a cheaper one off Amazon, I find no reduction in sound quality, but it is quite stiff. It was also ~$10, so I suppose it was worth it. If you're interested, it's by a company called Planet Waves, is made extremely well, and has gold-plated connectors. Again, my only complaint is that it is stiff.

Anything with low capacitance should sound fine, including Cat5.

i'm planning using pailics for 3,5mm jack... any other option  that's suit better on grado?

I only recabled because the original cable was starting to kink out of shape at the V joint - because of the 360 deg rotation of the cups I guess.  I used canare starquad mini - which is quite stiff - and it's totally solved that issue.  I also shortened it - because I do use the 325is portably sometimes (if I know I'm going to be in a peaceful/quiet ambient area - eg early morning walks).

To me it made zero difference sonically.  I'm not a cable believer for anything other than aesthetics / better usability.

For what it's worth, I have two of the Grado extension cables, as well....they work great...solid build.

Don't know what to do with my sr80i...keep it to use when travelling, give it to someone as a gift, buy a vibro cup to give it some life....I've been using the sr325i mostly...I wouldn't sell the little sr80i cause it would be cheap, I replaced the plastic grid by a mesh from sink strainers and it's not looking that good (great ideas)...

I am very sad right now...  (Can`t you see my face? )  

I just exchanged my SR325is to this one....  So far i need to burn it in.  There is something with the RS1i that is a bit piercing to the ear on some vocals that the SR325is does not have... I will burn it in for a week and see if this is will change... 

I obviously don't have much talent for posting pics,but i know just how you feel,i'm pretty sad too
