The original Liberators were longer. You could slide them over the cups and secure them to the headband iirc. It's hard to describe it. Try to find a picture of them; it will become clear then.

Are you sure you sure that they are the liberators, I may be confused but I think you mean these:

Nope. Those are some (extremely good looking) cups.

 

[lolitsluis]

Haha, sorry my mistake, how did they slide over the cups?

Here is a picture:
 

 
I don´t know how they would attach to wooden Grados though. Bigger cups could also be a problem. It´s hard to write about it when you don´t have them...

Ah gotcha, I was reading that the wider distancers (about 41mm as opposed to 40mm in radius) didn't have as good of a sound (this could be due to the outward expansion of the waves causing reflections and possibly diffractions in the distancer) and the felt helped fix this (possibly by absorbing stray waves), but like you said, without an actual pair, its hard to write about

Ahhh I think I get it....
 
Hrmmmm let me think about this...

I'm going to hijack my own thread just just shooting ideas...

I am... I have delayed buying a pair (the bagels) due to their ridiculous price in Canada.

 

[apatN]

Who isn't interested in them. They would be a hella work as they consist of multiple types of foam. They're so expensive for a reason.

 

[lolitsluis]

thinking about making it a complete assembly?

 

[cerebrous]

Don't spill the beans....
 
That should be next in the cards... =)

would these fit the HF-2s? I don't know if the metal cups are machined to the same measurements as the poly ones...

 

[cerebrous]

Not sure... would you like to beta test a set for me on the Grados.
 
please PM me

I was looking through the headphile website earlier today, just curious about some of the mods that I've seen mentioned on head-fi. I noticed that when listing models for the C-pad variations, it is mentioned that they will not fit either the HF-2 or the PS-1000. This would seem to indicate that they have a somewhat different build than other Grado/Alessandro headphones, but still certainly worth some experimentation with the liberators.

i, too, am interested in these for the hf-2.  imo, the hf-2 suffer from 2 serious deficiencies:
1. comfort - the standard l-cush pads feel like sandpaper against the ears (fixed - g-cush pads arriving in 3 wks);
2. soundstage - the drummer, vocalist, guitarist, organist, chorus... all stuffed into vw beetle.
otherwise, they sound great.
 
i'm in edmonton. if u need additional beta tester for hf-2, pls count me in.
