I use a socket and cut around it with one of those hobby scalpels. Works fine on both the S-cushion and the Sennheiser 414.
I have a quick question for everyone. I've been out of the Grado modding game for a few years and although I've read the last hundred and fifty pages or so, I don't have a conclusive answer. Is anyone still making wooden inners for liberated drivers?
I've wanted an HF1 for years but since there are none available (and for non-crazy prices), I've decided to build my own homage using a donor SR60. I basically just need a cheap mahogany inner liner. If anyone has any available, please let me know. And while I'm at it, I also could use a spare SR60 (non-I) driver, since I currently have three, and could use a fourth to actually have two functioning pairs of headphones.
IMHO you should use SR60i drivers, they are voiced warmer and smoother in the upper midrange than the original SR60. The "i" model also has a more going on at the far ends of the spectrum than the SR60. Highs extend higher and are more detailed/articulate and the lows extend lower. IMHO overall the 60i is a closer sonic match to the HF1
I agree, although my vote would go to the SR80i
