I've recently had some relatives come stay with me from the East. They own various metal factories there and machine car parts. Anyway my cousin stumbled across my Grado collection and got a suprise when I told him how expensive those things were. I allowed him to listen to the RS1s (for a few supervised minutes only mind), he didnt seem to understand what all the fuss was about. Anyway he remarked that the shoddy plastic on my SR-225s could be further improved by machined Aluminium bits. And that he could change the headband to a nice chushy soft leather. Well I fired up the PC and showed him a few pics of the HP1k...etc and he says he could make an identical metal left and right bit with a headband encapsuled in fine leather. Well that got me thinking, how many other people would be intrested in this upgrade if he manages to pull it off?
Withought a doubt the HP1Ks look better than todays SR range. Plus the comfort of fine leather would be a welcome addition as Grados can get really uncomfortable. Also anyone know of any HP1k close ups I can study for this?
