How did you get the cups?
 
Edit: nvm, saw they're from Spirit Labs.

Hi.
Just to say that the guys will do the cups blank if you ask them

They look sweet! Are they aluminium or steel? (Are they heavy)

 

[uglyjoe0124]

There alloy and yes pretty heavy so I would make them for home use.
I have how ever used alloy sleeves that I bought of I think Ambchang and the Ypsilon drivers slot in perfectly.
The sleeves have threaded holes for grub screws and hold the drivers in about 4mm.

does anyone here ever compare V6 with Grado line up like SR325e/RS2e/PS500e ?

No sorry not as yet. I can say that i have had a pair of RS1i and the Yplison magnums that I've just built really do compare most favourably even though they havnt been burnt in. I hope that helps

I didn't have the PS-500e, but had the original version.  To me, the bass on that version of the PS500 was too "artificial" and the headphone really tried.  Using the G-Cush pads on my Symphone's V6 , I really like how it sounds.  The bass is more natural to me - and plentiful.  I compared them to a pair of GS-1000i headphones last weekend.  The GS-1000i pair sounded good, but I'm not sure I'd trade my V6 Magnums for them as the V6 is making me smile.
 
I still want to hear another pair of GS-1000 (not the "I" or the "e" version) because I remember that it had an impressive and wide sound stage.  I'd love to compare them to the Symphone's V6 to see how they compare.
 
Enjoy the music!

Looks great!, congratulations. I also have a set of wooden sleeved alloy cups and a pair of drivers... if I could only get a set of Martin's gimbals and rodblocks...
