    Grado modders go Magnum

    I'm glad you like it. Actually, they fitted so good that, when I left them inside the cups (not very smart, I know) for a couple of weeks, I had a really hard time to get them out again (probably due to the expansion of the wood because of the different climate or the oil sticking to the walls...

    I can't see any discount applied on their web site, do you have to use a promo code or something or is it just that the sale has not started yet? Many thanks for the heads up!!!!

    You are very welcome! For the headband I've ordered a Turbulent Labs black XL headband. Did some DIY headbands in the past, but this time I going for a more "professional" look (plus I don't relly have the time for that now). These are the cups that I'm using for this build (I have to...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    So a few weeks ago I asked if anyone here had ordered from Concord Custom Lab in the past, but no one seemed to know about them. I went ahead and ordered a set of aluminium gimbals and rod-blocks for a project that has been laying around for years now, and this week I received the packet. Since...

    :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: Man, I'm so desperate for a set of good quality gimbals (built myself a couple of sets, but they are not professional enough) that I don't even care anymore. Putin himself can come and drag me out of my house with his own hands as long as I'm wearing my...

    I believe that they're from Moscow, but I'm not completely sure. They are from Russia for sure.

    Grado modders go Magnum

    Thanks! I've been considering Shipibo gimbals/rod-blocks as well, but the product is listed as no longer available on their Etsy store. Anyhow, Shipibo stuff looks terrific, but I like better the aesthetics of CCL gimbals/rod-blocks. So... no one here has any experience with them?. Guess I'll...

      Thanks for the tip, I've contacted him and he already answered. Do you have the ones that you purchased with you? If so... how are they compared to Martin's ones?   Many thanks for your help!!!

    Martin Customs Thread

      You were lucky then.   If you are in contact with him... could you ask him if he is still selling gimbals and rodblocks, please? I'm desperately looking for a pair. Many thanks for your help!

    Martin Customs Thread

      Many thanks for your suggestion, I will definitely consider those gimbals as an alternative. The problem is that I also need the rodblocks, and, to be honest I think that Martin's gimbals are better finished, and I don't mind paying a higher price for something that is well built.   Thanks! ;)

    Martin Customs Thread

    Does anyone here have any news about Martin?   I've tryied to contact him several times but unfortunately I had no luck. I just wanted to know if he is still selling his aluminium gimbals/rodblocks, I'm desperately after a pair to finish a build I have in process.   Many thanks for your help!

      Thanks Headcan!   Actually, I already knew about Gamja Labs, and their stuff sure seems great, but honestly I was looking for something a little bit more "professional" if you know what I mean. If I can't get my hands on a pair of Martin's gimbals then I might end up using my own diy ones...

    Guys,   Anyone here has any contact with Martin from Martin Custom Audio? I'm looking for a set of his fantastic aluminium gimbals/rodblocks for a build I have in mind (with V6 drivers), but he is not replying to my emails. I know he posted a message explaining that he is quite busy right now...

    If you want to have an idea of how your cups would look like with tung oil, here are mines: http://www.head-fi.org/t/576717/grado-modders-go-magnum/1665#post_8570145. I don't have pictures of how they were before the oiling, but they looked almost identical to yours right now.   Regarding...

      WOW! Those look amazing!! Grado should take note for for future versions. I've tryied to improve my SR-60 in the same way (more or less): http://www.head-fi.org/t/119314/post-your-grado-mods/1740#post_7716956, but they don't even come close to your design.
