Can anyone recommend a company in the UK that could re-terminate the 1/4'' jack on my SR125 (non e/i original).?
The sound is intermittent dependant on the angle the end of the cable is held from the source.

I see Custom Cans might do this or should I contact Grado to completely replace original cable?

Has anyone tried Beautiful audio's cable adapter LINK
Thinking about trying it out one of my pairs as the construction is pretty clever (no melting glues with hairdryers and such).

You could ask customcans. It's definitely a great shop.

My theory about how finicky Grados are (especially with the L-pad) is they REALLY have to be in the sweet spot to get the best sound.

I think it's partly because they're on-ear rather than over-ear, so position is more variable. On a bigass over-ear there's really only one spot it can go, just enveloping the whole ear.

Hi
I am a gh2 grados fan.
Summer is approaching and in Spain the headphones with the heat are difficult to wear.
Is there any grado iem that has a signature similar to grado gh2?
Now there are going to be some tws, gt220 grado and I seriously considered buying it but before doing so I wanted to ask you for your opinion on the brand's iems since I have never tried them.
All the best

HERESY!

I changed the gimbal/rod/headstrap on my HP2i to Shipobo. Completly reversible.

Thing is, the HP series have they own quirk with the headband. It has a very strong steel rod (not spring steel). Which means it has to be bent to the size of your head to stay on it and there is almost no flexiblity to the construction. But I lived with it, because I really-really love the HP2i and I actually love small unique/funky things in my audio. But! I observed if I gently push the earpads to my ears the bass improves in quantity. Problem is, there is nothing like a small pressure with those hard steel rods.

Then it dawned on me to make some measurement, and yes it is compatbile with the current gimbal system. It took about 10 minutes to make the change. The whole original construction stays intact and can be reassambled if needed. But - and here comes the real heresy - it sounds better with the shipobo things. Because of the better seal. It's also ligther and stay more firm on. Currently listening to this:



Absolutely hearth-touching and stunning.

thanks. And is that the only way to buy the F pads?

 

[carboncopy]

thanks. And is that the only way to buy the F pads?

I think yes. I bought from them direct. With post to Hungary. Everything was OK.

 

[elnero]

thanks. And is that the only way to buy the F pads?

As far as I know, Yes, TTVJ is the only place to buy them. The reason being, Grado stopped making them quite a few years ago but there was still a small demand for them. From what I remember, Todd got permission to get them made and offer them through his site and that's the way it's been ever since.

 

[Stevko]

Yes! Qobus are now available in my country. Think this is my new favorite for streaming and buying

 

[Stevko]

Schiit has canceled my order. Should i try topping instead?

 

[gimmeheadroom]

Can you see if the ATROX V2 is still available? It is made in Norway and will drive pretty much anything (not sure about HE-6 but maybe)

If not, consider Meier or Violectric.
