Those are soooo-sweeeet!

Ok; you just made up my mind for me, for what I wanna do to my 225's, eventually. Been spending lots of time on Larry's site checking out my options, and I had it down to the Paduak and Zebra, with Blackmax cable, and the 2-inch custom headband.

Now, I KNOW I want the Zebra

! Nice pics, and please post your take on the differences in sound once you've had some time with them. Peace!

Yeah, the match that Larry achieved on the grain really makes me happy.

I've always liked the sound of my stock HF-1s, but I'll certainly post my impressions of the audio qualities of them modded. To be honest though, a comparison to the stock HF-1 without doing a side-by-side doesn't hold a lot of water IMO.

I've never experienced C-pads, but I like Grados with the stock bowls just fine. I'm really interested in how they sound with the mods.

i've seen the HHF-1s wrapped in zebra - they were at the National Meet. And they looked spectacular! i wish i had time to listen to them, but i was running around that day like a headless chicken.

In the end it doesn't really matter - the weather inside will be just fine!

I've heard a number of people mention that pictures don't do Larry's handywork justice.

Mai Tais you say? Sounds like I need to get a plane ticket.
