If you ever manufacture those to sell, count me in. I would love to give my 325is a makeover with your cup/rod/headband design!

Working hard to make it happen. I just got the new set screws to hold the rods in place. They're nylon tipped so they allow some form of movement (rotation and sliding) like a new pair of Grado clips does don't dig into and scratch the rods like stainless steel ones might do. If they ever loosen up over time you can simply re-tighten them again and you're good to go. I think this is going to be the ideal balance of easy adjustment with some holding strength but there's nothing preventing the use of a stainless set screw or even a tool-less thumb screw if you really wanted (like the original Grado HP1).
Next up is going to the plating shop to explore different types of finishes for these parts for a higher quality look. I'm thinking a light bead blast + anodizing or nickel plating is the way to go. Will be posting more pics as soon as I dig further into that.
I felt the same way with the first Grado modding thread.I was thinking to myself, "Why am I searching new posts at midnight after an exhausting day?"
I'm so glad that I did.
This thread is a freakin unicorn. A mythical creature that you didn't even think existed, but here it is.
Awesome work. The designs and how you've brought them to life have blown my away. This thread is only a few pages long right now, but if it had been 200, I'd have stayed up to read it.
Looking forward to see a finished product. Inspiring. Really.

If you need beta testers let me know
With as much skill as you have machining parts I'm surprised you don't make your own completely new pair of headphones.
Trust me I'd really love to, it's the curse of being an industrial designer. I'd make everything custom for myself if I had the time! Gotta save the energy for building the stuff at work that pays the bills though.
First batch is back from the plating shop! Will try and see if I can find all of the parts for the headphones now so I can reassemble them and take some photos. It's been so many years that I forgot where they are.
