is there a way to tell the difference between the different Grado drivers? i just purchased some headphones from someone who claimed that they were SR225 drivers encased in MS2 covers. just wondering if there was i way i could tell for sure if they were indeed 225's.

thanks.

between a SR225 and a MS-2 driver? unfortunately, no. in fact, not even between a SR60 and a RS-1 i believe. they all look black

the only big diff is between a HP-1000 and anything else, because that driver is white, while the others are black.

well, i just meant between all the Grado drivers. possibly the ms2 drivers, too. i dunno..i've just never heard a 225, so i wouldnt know either way really. they are actually in the posession of [AK]Zip who was going to recover the cable for me. they can be seen here:

not to mention he said there's some shoddy soldering work. sigh.

sigh... perhaps, i should have sold them to another person, who was willing to pay a bit more than asking price.. (shipping out of country) however u were the first in line so... if you dont want it, tell Alex to ship back to me. ill refund u the amount..

as for the sr225 drivers, you are really in doubt, ask Larry from headphile.com. He might remember doing the modification. (he did the swapping job for me about 4-5 months ago)

as for the soldering tech. and so on, i have nothing to say. i aint at the pro-level like some reputable members of this forum. that is why i try to leave everything open, not sealed with heatshrinks or anything, so that i or anyone can re-mod them when it is necessary..

On all Grados you can see the soldering. If that is what quoteunquote is talking about.

So that's where it went...Anway if he doesn't want it I will take it

it's not that i don't want them. when Alex first got them..he told me that they sounded a bit off. so we were trying to figure out why. after he started desoldering he found out that the wiring was wrong. (he can tell you exactly what, i dont know much about all that..which is why i had them sent to him.) so he corrected the problem and said they sound more like they should.

he got it all covered. now theyre on the way to me.
