I found my first headphones, my lovely Grado SR-80s on the floor today... neglected for so long.  I've decided I'm going to mod them.

 

[Melvins]

do it!
 
My sr125i's just need some damping material and then the modding is complete. Gotta beyer headband, cocobolo woodies, and damped the driver with 7 holes.
 
 
sounds orgasmic

I mean I don't consider them in any way alike.

I'd have said more like Yin and Smith myself.
 
BTW, compliments for spelling "complement" correctly. There are prizes for that now.

Thank you, I'm flattered. English is not my native language.

Thanks Rob! Yeah people look at purpleheart and don't really realize that there's actually a purple tree out there somewhere. 

 
Were you at the Bay Area Meet?
 
 

 
I didn't make the last several meets. I'm definitely overdue. I haven't heard much of the new stuff, because I've been so content with my set up, but I do plan to attend future meets.

I'm sad faced. I don't know of any meets in may area.

^^You might have to come meet your Grado-Buds at the next Bay Area Meet...hmmm, maybe August?  (Nuthin' booked yet.)
 
(On Topic:  Listening to Bilawoodeo-modded SR-125's out of the Benchmark and they are really pleasing.)

If you're so satisfied with your present setup, attending future meets is the last thing you should do.

Ooh, good idea. Too bad my set up is rather pathetic compared to many so I would HAVE to find some people who could bring some good stuff. It would be rather fun though!

I think this has already been asked other places but I thought it would fit just fine in here. Does anyone know of some bookshelf speakers that have a similar sound to Grados? I bet its a stretch, but if they're out there then I want 'em.
