Thanks for this, MH! I cannot believe the pic's of the 32 Grado driver speakers. I wonder if those sound very good and whether or not they are made out of discarded drivers that didn't make the 'cut'?

I really like "How It's Made" but hadn't seen that episode. Enjoyed it very much. For those chuckling about the music being silent except to the listener comment, I'd imagine it's a pretty generic show and wouldn't take the time to explain the various types of headphones and how they work. That's not what that show does.

Show's why recabling does nothing, the cable from the 400 dollar aftermarket cable to the voice coil is as thin as a human hair.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Grado might be a little too high tech for people's tastes ~ look into the future of modern manufacture! 

 
I hope John never, ever changes a thing.
