According to the original post they're available to everyone no? I don't know. As anyone ever tried?
 
I'm sorry, but the upgraded pads just sound one significant order better than the TTVJ ones.

When i bought my TTVJ flats the price of the improved pads was still $150, wich i thought was a bit much for something i couldn't return if i didn't like them, but at $60 they're worth a shot.

Calling Joe will cost me as much as paying for a pair of cushions
 
Aint there anyone who's gonna order a pair and could ask for an extra one for me?

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but does anyone want to buy in on a batch of at least 4 or more sets of these? I had the opportunity to speak with Joe recently and because of the work that goes into making these he would prefer to create a bunch at a time if needed.

how much are they running?

 

[Mick]

They are $60 a pair, or I should say they were. Yesterday I was informed by Joe that he only offers them with the upgrade now sadly.

damn. i would have been down for a few i cant believe i missed this when it all went down. i have a sr60, vintage black 325 with jguwbc and a magnum v5 (used to have rs1i) and i'll pretty much only listen with ttvj flat pads

if anyone isnt crazy about them and wants to sell a pair i'll gladly take em off your hands to try.

I wouldn't give Joe any money or do business with him in any way. Have a look at the HP-2i thread or whatever it is. He seems to have full blown dementia.

Beez I'll send you my pair in a month or two (you can pm me). It's a watered down version though, as I've removed an “excess” of oil that was maybe more needed than I thought.
 

 
Also, with use your ears take off oil from the pads (or maybe it is that they get drier when gaining age) and I THINK that makes the pads less effective. It seemed to me at least, after each careful monthly A/Bing.
 
They're still plenty good though. Myself I've migrated to another pad.

cool thanks! i'll definitely take you up on that

What's the skinny on these pads now? I'd love to try them on my SR325iS. Anyone in the Netherlands have a pair, or is someone willing to send me a pair?

 

[stacker45]

Maybe it's just me, but the thought of having oïl soaked earpads pressed up against my ears is kind of repulsive.
 
I mean, the fact that something works does not automatically makes it a good idea.
 
I"m sure that Castrol Syntec motor oïl would be pretty effective in treating dry skin, but, I"ll stick with Nivea.

I will keep pushing for my Sunflower HD414 pads mod: http://www.head-fi.org/t/622756/joseph-grado-signature-product-hp2i-upgraded-hp-1000-headphone-information-journal-and-comparative-review-on-hiatus/240#post_11032139
 
As I believe they are the best pads for any Grado headphone.

I can't speak to the HP1/2 because I've sadly never had the pleasure of trying them, but I did try your sunflower pads on my Magnum X build. I liked it, but for me it added a touch more bass than I wanted.

 

[devouringone3]

Thank you for your boldness and feedback! I tend to forget modern drivers have more bass impact; I do think my mod is one of the few that helps with extension though.

You can incrementally reduce the sunflower's efficacy by trimming around the “petals” by a lateral millimeter, listening, and then repeating if deemed required.
