Hi all,

This is my 1st post.
I did a recabling and replace the grills.

What model is it? It doesn't look like they have much room to breath, is the sound OK?

 

[Qsilver2001]

Its a SR80, got it 2nd hand.
It sounds ok to me, imo maybe after recable?
Was using some single cord silver plated copper.

You know, that actually doesn't look too bad. After the rash of crazy mods to Grados lately (silver spray paint... *shudder*) this seems pretty well done! What's the deal with "Skins" though? The application of that thing works, but I'm immediately distrustful of anything that uses a backwards letter...

very creative ! ..
I like it

you know this could start an sr-60/80 Grado skin fashion

Dude, it's a piece of *plastic*. What does a backwards "S" have to do with anything?

 

[Qsilver2001]

Its a pair of laser cut fan grills that I made.
The "SkinS" is part of my email addy, haha
This is my 1st pair of grado and will not be my last for sure! *Love the sound and design of a grado*

I love that you chunked it with a huge 1/4 at the end - home use rules!
So far we have this, the grille made of a bathtub strainer, the silver spraypainted one - what other interesting cosmetics are out there, other than the woodys?

Hi Qsilver, very cool mod! Can you give a little more detail on the rewiring? What brand/type wire and connectors did you use? I have a set of 11 yr. old SR60s that are begging to be modded.

Thanks to this forum for if not all but most of the information.

As for the connector its a neutrik 1/4". Cable I am using some belden single cord silver plated copper. I am no expert in cable material, so was trying out if silver plated is better than copper.

IMHO, after recabling some music i play sound alittle high on treble. "Chemical Bros".

 

[Qsilver2001]

Btw guys,

What can I use to seal back the cans? At the meantime using "blu-tak" as I am still trying out other cables.
