Count me in, +1. Went to a Head-Fi meet in NY a few years back and had a grand time, leveled up my ears a few, and have been meaning to check out a local meet since.   Looking through the gear and the only the thing I can contribute are Headphile Terminator V4, Darth Beyer V3, and...

Skylab, did you stick the DT770/600 drivers into the VXD3 or the VXD4? Any ideas on how the two cups would differ in sound with the 600ohm drivers?

Ordered!

BTW, for those wondering how this Compass Amp compares to the Graham Slee Novo or Corda Arietta, I should be able to give some thoughts in a few weeks after I've done some proper listening between my Darth V3s and MarkL D2000s (probably with the Earth and Moon in various configurations). Also...

I just got 4 units in today for myself and a few co-workers. Ordered early April, original shipping estimate was Apr 12th, got delayed, shipped DHL on Apr 18th, received in Northern California around 2:30PM on Apr 21st. Extremely well packed in boxes (4 individual boxes in one larger box). Looks...

Newbie from SF here visiting NYC during the time of the meet and seriously thinking about heading out to the meet since I've missed everything on the West Coast this past year. I have a pair of V3 Leopardwood Darths and the newish Graham Slee Novo Amp I can try to bring. I can also bring a Corda...

Woah... tell us more!

Great revelation nickchen! Could you elaborate on "I needed at least one new 1mm drilling in each distancer"? Do you mean the outside ring that fits into the cup needs to be a little looser? Doesn't that affect how sturdy the distancers are fit into the cups? Should the MS1000s have the 1mm...

Anyone planning on mods for this yet? Any thoughts on cheap USB DACs to combine this with?

Great to see this thread pick up again. Anybody know places in the US to get GS1000 pads?

Awesome discovery. Does this change the value proposition for the MS1000s? Quote: Originally Posted by nickchen One thing we found out yesterday is the fact that tight sitting of the distancers is absolutely eminent. Noxters MS Ultimate sounded a bit thin compared to my MS1000, as...

I agree with tstarn06's observations. I came from CX300s to RE-2s and having listened to my roommate's C551s (both with Comply T-400s), the RE-2s clearly win. The biggest issue I have is now all my source material (crappily encoded MP3s) sound horrible because the RE-2s readily expose them...

I'm currently planning out my rig around some V3s I'm still on the lookout for so this thread is very appealing. Current plan is simple though... Mac => Corda Aria/Cantate => Darth Beyer V3 (Wood TBD). I've been toying with tossing an OMZ DAC in there and a Darkvoice tube amp, but being simple...

Found this page elsewhere that has dimensions for the earcup mod on Grados if anyone wants to DIY it: HeadWize - Project: The Collected Grado Headphone Mods by "Skippy" et al.

I'd definitely be interested in acquiring a pair of the extenders for my MS-1s, along with the GS1000 pads if possible. I'm also in the US.

Any thoughts on using PVC to make wannabe-liberators? I live in the city and have little access to power tools required to cut wood :/.

Did anyone keep the schematic? The linked picture from iPatcH is no longer there I'm eager to convert my MS-1s to MS-1000s
