No idea about the grid spacing, but it's pretty tight. You will have to balance aesthetics with functionality with SQ. Best SQ would be no grid. The tighter the grid the more constraint on the driver. There is a balance where I'm sure a compromise is struck in all these requirements. Consider the material as well, you don't want rust.

Thanks a lot for the pictorial of the procedure.

I used it to attach the original distancer to the Ms-Pro and the newer shallower one to the 325is and to A B the two and I found that the difference between the two was very small the way it was between my old the RS-1 and regular 325. I say this to point out that the 325is is a big step away from the Grado and toward the Sandro sound.

As I was checking up your profile I realized you have a 325i on loan. So I would like to ask you if you agree or disagree with the way I hear the two models.

My hearing has degraded over the years and very wide mood swings make me change my mind and wonder which of my observation are correct.

I would like to ask if any of you has tried the distancers with the HF2 either with the regular cups or the jumbo cups

I have not, since the HF2 sound fine with jumbo ear pads and no spacers.

I have tried distancers+jumbos but I settled on bowls or jumbos without distancers for now. The distancers don't make the sound better for me than just the jumbos, and it's also easier to use just the jumbos.

I used blue-tak to make the distancers stick, so I don't know what glue would do, but I'm not to keen on using a permanent solution on the HF2.

Distancers seem to be better for Alessandros (I have not tried it though), but for the HF2 I don't think it's worth the hassle.

These new measurements might be interesting for those who have been wondering about the extent of differences between the MS-Pro Stock, MS-Pro with Big Bowls and the MS-Ultimate:

I'm not that familiar with interpreting those graphs, but I think they support what we all hear, clearly stronger bass and a flatter mids section. Felting obviously helps, but the effect isn't very spectacular.

I'm just wondering where I can get distancers here in Canada. It seems that jmoney and rds have stopped their services. It's unfortunate that I'm no craftsman but I would love to buy one from anyone here. Thanks.

I do plan to have some more distancers on hand, but I may not have them until around xmas

They beat the hell out of Chia pets for Xmas presents!

My MS-1000i is finally coming along.
I received free distancers from Jeremy, and a free piece of felt from my local crafts store. Jumbo pad should be coming in a few days.

I'm planning on putting the felt around the distancers but my question:
What does putting felt (a double layer?) on the driver grill do? Is it recommended?

What about on top of the lip?

 

[sampson_smith]

It should tone down the treble a bit. This is sometimes necessary as the bass/mids get depleted a bit with the G-cushions. It balances them out, so to speak, enhancing the warmth of the lower end by blocking out a small portion of the high end.

MS-1000i Complete!

I ended up using 1 3mm hole because that was all I had. The area should be the same as 4 1.5 drills though.

Is that glue I see sticking the foam to the headband?
[making foam replacement difficult?]

 

[Zephoku]

Actually it's just some scotch tape. Falls off easily. Too easily...
I'm going to sew a cloth around it or something eventually.
