post your grado mods....
Did a couple pairs of cups on Wednesday, one Zebrano one Cocobolo. Any recommendations of a Grado to put the Zebrano cups on that will give a noticably different sound to the modded SR80i's shown here. Still planning on doing rod end pieces in the matching woods and I have enough wood to...- simwells

SR60-Mod
Unless I've missed it has anyone experimented with different wall thicknesses on the wood cups I just finished the Cocobolo cups posted earlier and a pair of Zebrano ones and went with the same thickness as the plastic housings but notice a lot of you seem to be using thicker walls, is this just...- simwells

SR60-Mod
Had a play today making a couple sets of cups for my sr80i here's the cups I made from cocobolo, also did a set from zebra and planning on doing another cocobolo set as I have the wood spare as well as pieces for the end of the headland mounting rod. Can't help but feel the rest of the set up...- simwells

A Very Compact Hybrid Amp
Guessing from reading recent comments if I wasn't in on the GB the chances of being able to build one of these any time soon are pretty slim? Would I be better to wait for a new incarnation that Runeight hinted at?- simwells

Grado 3d model
Finally got round to doing a quick model of the outer cup, could do with further information if you want me to do a front spacer. The files are here have included the original solidworks part, then STL and IGES the machinist should be fine with one of the two latter files. ...- simwells

Custom Detatchable mono IEMs or regular earphones
Are you wanting to use a 3.5mm jack? Otherwise you could probably mod a guitar Snap Jack.- simwells

Grado 3d model
Modelling the original cups with the spacer added is perfectly doable but I doubt many users will have the access to that level of CNC machinery that could mill them out of a single piece, I could print them in ABS but then you're still stuck with a solid plastic body. Modelling the seperate...- simwells

Grado 3d model
What exactly is it you'd like to see modelled? I could do most things that would be headphone parts but I presume you don't just want a model of the original assembly? I have been planning to try CNC milling some cups for my SR80i so will be modelling possible replacements for that soon.- simwells

Is there anyone in the UK that would help me with my gamma2
I've attempted it to the best of my abilities now, need to test the gamma 1 and 2 now. In all honesty I'm well out of my depth with this, shall reread it a few more times.- simwells

I'm not sure I've tried multiple times and I just can't seem to get it right, I'm not confident in the quality of the soldering on U5 either to be honest. Nah all 8 pins are there the photo just makes one look like it's missing, and yes it will be- simwells

Oh poo yeah forgot I got a little carried away! The non soldered chip is in an are with some of the most space though, not that that makes it ideal. Picture is here, apologies about the quality:- simwells

Is there anyone in the UK that would help me with my gamma2
I started building my Gamma2 a while back now and discovered that the smallest surface mount components are just too small for my abilities, having found a Mini^3 really easy I wasn't expected this as I hadn't realised how much more difficult it would be. So is there anyone that could check my...- simwells
