Hey all,
So I got a little carried away modding my SR125s, and here are the results.

SR125s with 1/8" detachable cable


My grado cable w/ new plugs


My homade C-pads


The wire-free cans!!


THE FRANKEINGRADOS!!!


Thats me with the cans (try not to laugh)

 

[JWFokker]

Are those 2.5mm or 3.5mm plugs?

 

[gradojunkie]

hold on I'll check

 

[gradojunkie]

3.5mm

 

[Oddball]

You are. Hardcore.

But you already know that.

Curious though...why the detachable cord?

 

[gradojunkie]

Its alot easier to store them and carry them.

Also I think it looks cool.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

Wooh that's inspiring, homemade C-pads

Use a Jig saw or roto zip for cutting the board?

 

[gradojunkie]

yeah, I used a jig saw and a off-brand dremmel.

I still need to do some work on them though to improve teh bass

 

[ajt976]

Well done Junkie! That detach mod looks pretty sweet, maybe if I get off my lazy rear-end I'll do the same!

Glad to see you got the cups apart, keep up the good work dude!

 

[kramer5150]

Not bad at all!!

Hey, how do your cpads secure to the earcups?

thanks!!
Garrett

I'd guess just friction, but one idea I found rather useful was to put a strip of felt along the inside edge of the c-pad adapter. In my case, the c-pad adapter I bought was too big for any Prestige series Grado can to fit it. The felt provided enough frictional force to hold it securely in place, and it is soft because I was afraid that the wood would screw up the plastic driver cups. Here's some pictures to better explain. It works good enough for me, and I have zero complaints considering all I paid was $10 (for shipping) for the "too big" c-pad adapters and like $0.95 for a piece of black sticky backed felt. Just a thought

I'll be getting some SR80s soon and following in the footsteps of RnB180 Gradojunkie and ajt976.
