Hi all, I don't think I've ever killed a brand new driver before so I thought: ask the community for thoughts on what's happened to the driver. This is/was a brand-new 50mm Grado driver that I tested for continuity when it arrived and then fitted into a set of 'test' cups - so these were...

Hi all, So earlier in the year I sold my Symphones Magnum V6. Even at the time I was on the fence about doing so, and I should bear in mind that I've got form for seller's remorse. Anyways, I immediately got seller's remorse. Anyone got a pair they'd sell? - I'm based in the UK. Thanks!

As per @Mightygrey - no effect whatsoever. Microphone cable uses two twisted pairs to reject electromagnetic interference. This would be a problem for microphone cables because they use long runs and presumably in close proximity to electrical cables. It's not such a biggie on short cable runs...

Hi all, A bit of a loaded question, but: have any of you had any success experimenting with 50mm drivers?

Either way, I just need some photos of them ...

Aye - the differences in specification between model numbers in the SR series is a little eyebrow-raising - the SR60 and SR80 are identical other than the pads! After that you get into slightly different cables. I wouldn't expect the SR driver to be anything special at all ... ... but I'm very...

Hi all, Has anyone got any photos of Grado drivers from their higher-end headphones? - I'm particularly interested in the 50mm types used in the PS/GS. Ta!

Any plans on what you'll be dropping them into?

Hi all, first post for a long time! - I've spent quite a few years building Grado-style clones with aftermarket drivers [Symphones, Nhoord, Elleven, etc] as well as being very drawn to the Denon AH-D / Fostex TH design. I don't have any off-the-peg cans and haven't for some time - I'm up to six...

Aaaah, always the T50rp ... maybe if there were more options for Fostex TH / Denon AH-D lovers that didn't want another set of Lawtons and didn't fancy taking their chances with Chan from E-MU ... Maybe if someone were to produce open-backs for these headphones ...

Hey Rhydon, I parted with my original Vibro cups because I couldn't get past them having a slot for the cable rather than a hole. I've subsequently bought Rholupat cups - I guess its the cable slot that interferes with a clean installation? - Thought I'd post rather them PM as I'm sure...

I'd be interested in knowing more about your V4 drivers ... Just attempted to PM you, let me know if these are still available!

Hi all, I'd like to buy some of the material Fostex has used on the back of the TH610 capsule. Does anyone know what it is and where I could buy some? I've made my own wooden driver mount fit a Fostex TH design. Fostex use an "acoustic optimiser" where there are breathable holes around the...

Hi all, just a quickie: I couldn't wait and I had some spare time. I used the S driver and felt rather than paper. The headphones are on my head as I type. They are magnificent.

Hi all, Those of you may remember a few pages back where I went on holiday but couldn't sleep one night because I was so jealous of @Konstantin690 's beautiful Audeze-based Ypsilon build. I went home, gutted a pair of broken Denon AH-D5000, 'liberated' the ruined drivers and bonded in short...
