How do you put pictures on head fi? To be fair they were built by Przem from Poland on Etsy. They look and sound amazing

If you look in the lower right hand area of where you are typing your post there are 3 buttons "post reply" "upload a file" and "more options" you want to click on the "upload a file" button and it will let you navigate your computer to where you store pictures. Just try to upload pictures that are smaller than 5-6MB since it will reject pictures that are larger.

I have a love/hate relationship with my modded 325i. I love the way they sound especially after putting some Ear Zonk G-cushions. The hate comes by way of how I ended with them. I started with the gold 325i that I was happy to get for cheap then sent them away to get a cable upgrade. They came back with a short so I sent them back. A couple weeks go by and no response from the service provider. I enquire about their status and service provider says he never received them. He contacts the USPS and they say they were delivered and because they delivered,what happened after they were delivered is out of their hands and thus,insurance claim is not valid. I am bummed so service provider offers a modded 325i,for an additional sum,as "compensation". I take the deal despite it being a bitter pill for me. A part of me says I could have had a PS500 model or GH1/2 that I have been lusting for,for the $$ I spent in that whole ordeal but a faint,unreliable hunch says that what I have now may not sound that much different.

That's rough....but on the plus side, those look very much like they were made by Larry at Headphile, and he's a legend. Am I correct in assuming those are two-part woodies (ie: the inner sleeve is a different wood....probably White Limba if those are Larry's work, and the outer cup is something else)? Its tricky to do that....takes a lot of precision work, and practice. The results, sound-wise, are awesome though. They likely sound as good as, if not better than a stock build from the higher end of Grado's line.

Hi Worms,

These are a couple of photos that I took of the Grado LA&OC 25th Anniversary headphones just after opening the inner box that they were shipped in:

And these are some additional photos that I took after they were removed from their box [Please forgive the use of a bathroom towel, it was all I had handy to cover the cardboard box that the headphones were sitting on.]:

As you can see, there's been a change in the cosmetics of the headphones over the previous photos (of the prototype model) that I posted about three months ago. Relative to those photos, the visual ascetic has changed from one that featured ear cups of a "light blond colored" wood finish (with a black leather headband), to one that features, instead, ear cups with a "light tan colored" wood finish, and which is also accompanied by a headband that's been charged to a "dark brown" leather as well. For whatever reason the changes were made, I think that I rather like the new astetics.

I'm on train right now out to Monrovia, CA, to visit the high end audio store Brooks Berdan Ltd., to check out some balanced amps to pair with these new phones, so I'll try to provide some initial (but far from full burn in) listening impressions later on. Stay tuned...

@Nickelodeon thank you my friend for the great pictures! I agree with you on the updated aesthetic, very nice!

One question. Do you recall if the cups are one piece, or is there two pieces? (cup and inner sleeve). Anyhow, hope you have a good and productive trip to the Audio Store. Hope you find what you're looking for.
