That's awesome! Over in the Ypsilon drivers thread someone just upgraded a pair of broken LCD with a pair of Ypsilon drivers and custom baffles. Looks awesome...

  OK, thanks! That's kind of what I thought. I don't really care what colour they are. Taken a lot of Grado's apart.....I've never seen "Grado 32N's" before. 

 
32 is the resistance, 32 Ohm. On older drivers, the 32 is followed by the Omega symbol (Ω). Maybe the N denotes New.

What do they sound like?

 

[zaclopez1980]

grado signature bright sound. more detailed but bass is not that strong.

Did you do any mods or are you planning any to the inside of the cups to tune the sound?

10 year old son's first pair of 'real' headphones.  Iron Man cups swapped out with SR60e.  Wife hates the sound leakage, but he says that the sound is much, much better than before - I agree.  May color the blocks and rods black and swap out the band with a leather one down the road.

@alpha421, starting him early

 

[alpha421]

Slowly, but surely.  He wanted my RS2i when I got them six years ago!  I plan to get or make both my boys a set of Grado woodies for some graduation event.

Did you try asking the original owner?

It's been so long ago but I think I put the aluminum gold colored cups in boiling water to soften the glue holding the plastic branding ring. I used a solvent such as acetone to remove the black paint from the round mesh.

hmmm... i'll give it another go. i put the cups in a steam bath but the rings didn't budge. maybe i'll do it a bit longer. any damage to the rings when you removed them?
