Hi, any chance to get hp-2 whit unsigned cable to grado to re-cable to ultra wideband cable?

Or any who have one loose for sale?

Thanks!

PS. Is the APureSound with its new and last V3 Headphone Cables a good choice?

Ohh

i'm not a fan of re-cabling as i want the original..

Not sure if Grado can do it, if you call them they should be able to give you Joe Grado's number in South Carolina. He is the one to talk to about recabling, as he would be the one that would have any cables, but he might not either. If you do send him your cans, you can expect a 6-8 month wait though to get them back.

 

[Clony]

Ohh, 6-8month? hehe, well..

I mailed grado but have not got any answer..

I don't think Joe Grado has any of the UltraWide cables left. In my opinion it's not worth getting a pair unless they have the stock cables (any of the ones that came with the headphones) as Joe Grado clearly tuned them to sound a particular way.

I read in one thread that the UWBRC wasn't actually the final (aka best) cable that Joe used on them.

It probably doesn't matter either way, anyway...

Many people are raving about the APureSound V3 cables & I can attest to work, speed, and professionalism of Alex of APureSound--great communication & personal commitment when dealing with him. I recommend you contact him through his website, and see what he says about custom recabling your phones.

Good luck.

I have to second that - Alex's cables are the next best thing since sliced bread

the cables may be nice, but dont let him take the rust out of the driver cups. i seem to recall aluminum not turning red/brown when it rusts and a thread about the man who sold the product to grado...

anyways, the unsigned cable has been commented in a couple places to sound BETTER than the JGSUWBC. crazyness, hunh?

 

[Killercrush]

Yeah the brown thing all around the drivers should stay there, I've seen an almost new pair of HP-2 and it was in fact all there. Just don't mess with Joseph Grado special tweaks.

Forget about the ultrawide band cable, i don't think it is as durable and long last as that of rs-1 cable, I also find a lot of it becoming obsolete and damaged as time goes by.

the best way to perserve this cable is to detach it and keep it in stash

just like me

replace the cable to Zu mobius for sen. cable and keep it into drawer.

 

[Clony]

Hehe, do you want to sell your original grado cable to me cwilson??

How was the sound after recabling it to Zu mobius?

I know many headfiers out there are hating us for having this discussion about cracking these babies up for recable. I my self is not a fan of it...

Sorry !!!! it will not be sold.

What i quote the above is aimed at suggest you to try another cable



anyway, i prefer the Zu cable to the ultrawide band cable, as the former has improve both the mid-range and soundstage obivously.
