On the wood ones, I think they use wood glue.

that sounds so logical, i can't believe i didn't think of this.
 

Have you tried hot glue? I think that's what Grado is using

not on these ones...(OT: i really like your avatar. if only i could find one with RD + PS1000)

i once modded my RS2's to get more bass, as i prefer to use G-cush pads, however now the drivers aren't glued to the cups anymore.
does anybody know what glue was used by grado?

On my sr80 I used a single layer of 'Velcro tape' soft side up. Holds them in tight but can be removed and replaced quite easily...

Thanks for the info! I'm still debating should I liberate or not... The final answer shall be released in a few hours xD
^ I'm using his xD

Mine are made for fully liberated drivers at the moment...let me know if you are keen on partially liberated though. A few tweaks in the design and "Presto"...

@jaywillin Just had a moment of insanity and pushed the button on some GS1000i from amazon in a warehouse deal (UK)- half RRP but slight scratches to wood. Am I going to love them- 325i at present.

well jimbob54, i don't know really, you'll have to listen for your self !!

 
i've never heard the 325's , so i cant say how they compare directly, but reading what people say about them, i think maybe you'll find the
325 and the gs different for sure.
the gs and ps500(g-cushed) have a lot in common to me. more bass presence, large soundstaging,
i said it before, and more and more listening hasn't done anything to make me feel otherwise, that its like the rs1i and ps500
combined, to make one great headphone, and not just a great grado

Sorry, am out and about, so no pics, but it is simply a driver left in the plastic sleeve that slips out of the standard Grado cup. A fully liberated is one that has been taken out of the standard outer cup and removed from the plastic sleeve.

Right. Some woodies are made by fitting a Grado driver into a whole wooden cup while others are made by fitting the still-in-sleeve driver into a slip on cup. The HF-1 and 325 (among others) are examples of a sleeve of one material fitting into the cup of another.

So you're saying that the Ps-1000, SR325is are "half liberated"?

Never thought of it that way, but yes, I suppose so...except the PS1000 has a wooden inner sleeve doesn't it?

the ps500 has a metal housing, with wood sleeve

Wooden sleeve, metal "top"

I thought liberation meant (in this case) putting Grado drivers in other cups but it really just means to change the top material?
