    Grado modders go Magnum

    For my custom Hemp build, I placed a disc of drawer liner up against the inside of the metal mesh grills. Improves the sound significantly IMO. The best Grado-style headphone I have heard.

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    Thanks for the wealth of info @darkstar1. Just to make sure I understand, the QS Audio branded coupling caps are specc'ed slightly differently than the Jupiter caps you used. Your Jupiters are rated for v600 and .15uf while the originals were v400 .12uf. Is this value difference meaningful? As...

    The Hyland Headphones Saturn One, Saturn Two and Jupiter One thread

    Neither, IMO. I have listened to both the 325X and Saturn One. Spring a few extra $ for the Grado Hemp OR if you have a fairly robust tube amp, the Audio Technica R70X.

    How can I remove the smell of tobacco from headphones?

    I would try a mixture of unscented dish soap and white vinegar. Soak the earpads in it if they are foam or cloth. If they are grados you can boil the pads in vinegar and water. If leather or pleather just wipe them down like everything else. Careful to not get the drivers wet.

    Replacement Velour or Leather Pads for Grado Hemp

    Changing the pad material WILL change the sound significantly. If you want increased comfort, try Generic G pads, available on Amazon. Sound is different but not necessarily in a bad way. The soundstage expands and tonal balance changes slightly (less treble more midrange) at the expense of some...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    I purchased the Hemp drivers and I separately purchased the turbomesh grill covers from Symphones. The two pieces worked together perfectly and fit well in my custom cups. To me these sound very much like Hemps but not EXACTLY how I remember the Hemp (wish I had a pair to compare back and...

    Quicksilver Audio Headphone Amplifier any opinions?

    Dropping by to contribute some to this quiet thread. One thing that stands out to me with this amp is bass really slams with it but without things sounding bloated. Nice and punchy and fast sounding. I bought a couple tubes to try out. I'll probably swing by with tube impressions...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    Just wanted to drop in to say that despite the sketchiness, the earphonediylab Hemp driver, sounds exactly like a Hemp driver.
