    The "non-Grado" Driver Grado Thread

    Anyone tried these? https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-ce38mb-32-1-1-2-mini-speaker-black-32-ohm--285-131 ...could be a budget fix for a busted driver that's out of warranty? Thoughts?

    Jaywillin; did you coat the entire breathable surface of your new cheesecloth with adhesive, I've read this done previously and always thought it to be quite counter-intuitive? Would it not promote less restricted air-flow if you only had adhesive on the black plastic body of the driver housing...

    The design doesn't lend itself to DIY installations as the dimensions are such that the inner, outer and driver need to be suspended during bonding. We're looking into the viability of a re-manufacturing model, as other small concerns offer, send us the complete headphone and we return a...

    London Calling...19th October, 2013.

    So, we're not even allowed to attend and see the depths a British brand has to strive to in order to compete with our foreign cousins? We'll leave our goodies at home but we'd still appreciate 2 places on the list, is that still ok?

    Quote:   A lot of effort, £'s and $'s have gone into the matrix qualities of CF, both layering, cross layering and multiple structure layering by F1 teams. We have our enclosures made by one of the best suppliers to F1 here in the UK and we've had quite a time developing our own structure...

    Quote:   Public launch is intended to be Q4 2013 and we'd hoped to play a part at the London Show in October - I think our offer to the team organising arrived too late BUT we're happy to take some down and let people play.   Until then we're making 1-offs and special orders, helps...

    Quote: they sound 'better' than the originals, that was one of our design goals - without that box ticked there's no point right? The HP-A is based on the Alessandro MS1i. The raw/donor drivers are liberated, tested, modified and retested prior to rehousing. To date we have not liberated...

    Please add myself to the list, Daniel Burns - Director of demand better audio UK-LLP (+1)   We'd be happy to bring a few of our pre-production HP-A full F1 Grade Carbon Fibre headphones along and throw them onto the testing tables...

    NuForce Air DAC

    Sorry for dragging up an old one guys but there's one bit of info I just can't find details of. When using the Air DAC and the iTX transmitter, where is the volume control? I'm assuming its via the iPod but that doesn't make sense as the transmitter is connected to the 30pin, surely the volume...

    SR60(i) driver inside the iGrado, same mods apply as to both...all but changing the cup/pad for the larger versions as the headband is restrictive. Hope this helps! Btw newer versions have a removeable screen forward of the driver, falls off but does stop dust getting into the driver housing...
