I think I managed to find it, I ended up going with Black Walnut, I'll have pics for you guys soon enough
Still modding I see How are the HE-400 cups you bought from me?

How ever that aside, it looks really pretty. My biggest concern is resale as I'll have to touch up the wood if I go to re sell, and still provide pictures of the damage. Lohb's offered a discount on some new Cups but I passed,Honestly, terrible. I didn't realize how soft Mango Wood Was, the metal arch that holds the HE 4s Driver house to the Head Band has like smashed the edge of the Cups *sigh*
which could be an issue from how you stored them, to how Lohb manufacturered [size=1em] them [/size]
that said though, I'm getting a little Senn Grado built to use on the Go, it's lighter than my w1000x that's for SURE. An sounds like 95% as good, plus it's open back which I like when I'm on the go. Since I can still hear stuff around me.
But I'm only one more Wood Back away from having a nice collection of modded Wood Back cans :3, a D7k will finish out my collection nicely!
But yea, I'm turning into a real collector of modded treasures!
Aah, that's too bad. I just had them for a couple weeks and didn't touch them so doubt it would be storage issues.
It's nice to hear that you still turn your headphones to a one of a kind
On a different note. These days, I am redicovering all of my music collection. It's a bit like looking at an object from the front for X amount of years, and then, changing position, to look at it from, say, a 45 degree angle, it's still the same object, but it looks a bit different, simply because you have a different perspective.
Another way to experience that is to spend quality time with 'phones from a different vendor, with a different sound signature. Was really eye opening for me.
dont let the price fool you. Either the sr60 or 80 are suitable candidates for a taste of the Grado sound.Very true
Though, I have a question for you guys. would any one be willing to allow me a chance to demo a SR 325? Or even one of Grados Wood Backs, I'm been on head fi for almost two years now and I've never EVER heard a Grado, until this week. And what I have in my hands isn't even an "offical" Grado Headphone. I'm just thinking I need some real perspective on this little thing and I'd love to be able to try one of the real things!
On the positive side though, here's a pic of the Walnut Cups I'm getting for my Senn Grado <3
Big up to 7Keys as he's the artist who crafted these bad bois
I couldn't have said it better myself wormsdriver, I think that the wood combine with the heavy alloy ear cups play a important role in making the PS1000 sound tight.
I still think that the GS1000i have a much better price vs performance ratio, but I never regretted buying the PS1000, I even prefer my PS1000 to the new e serie, and my HP1000. I agree with worms, John Grado got it right with the PS1000.

let me explain. I have noticed that when I listen to music, I tend to concentrate mainly on the signer(s). For a few days now, I have tryed to concentrate on a musical instrument, instead. and If the instrument stops playing, I simply switch to another one. At first, I had the tendency to go back to focussing on the singer(s), but with time, I have gotten better at it. So, humour me , try it, what have you got to lose?, and let me know what you think.
Been having the same experience recently. Between the PS500, GS1000, and a portable rig but I cannot get enough of, I've been rediscovering layers and nuances in my music that I've never heard before. Not to mention, for the third time in my head fo history, I re-ripped the majority of my library to ALAC. Albums that I've been familiar with for years are coming through with more clarity and precision than ever. Pretty freaking awesome.
Pray tell, kind sir, what is said portable rig?
Very true
