I am in Canada..

Canuckaudiomart is the best place to sell your headphones if you are in Canada.

I myself have three Grado headphones that use hemp. I have had no issues at all but a little oil for any of the woodies is a good idea. I use a product called Ballistol that works great on wood, metal and many other materials. Any oil that works for wood should be fine. Teak oil would be a top choice also. A little bit of oil applied and rubbed into the wood using your fingers.

This oil is apparently called Livos oil.

I’m supposed to apply a couple drops with a cotton cloth, rub it in, rub away an excess, and then apply a second coat 12 hours later.

I was under the impression that hemp was more like plastic than wood, if I understand properly the way they bond hemp to make it wood is by using a polymer.

I'm considering upgrading from my Grado RS1i's to Grado GS1000e, would I notice much of a difference? If so, how big?

 

[JoeTho]

I'm with you there. I want to upgrade my RS1e, and go for the RS1x or a GH2.

I measured it a while ago: on the RS-1x, from the earcup to the base of the headphone jack was 66”.

Thank you very much! Very helpful.

I must have a dozen Lee Morgan albums . . . but not that one.

Those xrcd releases are amazing. The best imo.

 

[jonathan c]

And yes, If you like Grado you will love DT1770.

Certainly true for me.

Are old sr80 worth more than new ones?
Many ask for over 100$ for old/worn 80’s

This is a superb sounding Grado Hemp Phone. Addictive even.

It depends on the specific version, some people claim certain old models are better. But they are kind of collectible. Unless you are trying to get something very specific I would stick to the new models.

I have used this, once a month, to maintain the wood on the Grados**…

** MAJOR QUESTION: is the plural of Grado ‘Grados’ or is it ‘Gradi’ ?

Gratz on a fun purchase @jonathan c! I've had these for over a year now, and they continue to be a freakin' blast to listen to. Initially, the attached cables and constant twisting drove me crazy, so I installed this mod: https://www.beautifulaudio.biz/grado-cable-adapter - it made a huge difference. Turned them from a fun occasional headphone to a daily driver. Can't recommend the mod enough- came with great instructions as worked exactly as advertised.

Hope you enjoy the Hemp!
