Folks - Where can I get these rodblocks? (I neeed them!)
I’m just about to liberate my sr80e drivers. I have been advised that flush cutters are probably the best route as I don’t need to save the sleeves. I would like to save the sleeves if at all possible. I picked up some ca debonder at hobby lobby. Do you guys think this would work, ie be safe enough to use sparingly and not let any in the driver? Has anyone ever tried anything like this? I haven’t seen or heard of anyone doing this yet. Here’s a pic of what I’m referring to.

Well that was easier than I thought, more to come!
Ok so this was unbelievably easy to do, in fact I now have a near mint set of cups and sleeves from an sr80e if anyone wants to purchase them. I used 2.5mm mono jacks inside the headphone to make them detachable. Currently running them with a Dyson audio Gotham GHC balanced cable. The cups are walnut, from Vibro Labs, they are incredible looking. Liberating the driver was easy and soldering isn’t hard either, having done that too many times before. I’m using a Turbulent Labs headband. I added some dynamat to the backs of the driver magnets and there are four holes vented from the factory on the sr80e drivers that I used. Well I’m very happy with how this all turned out and and absolutely blown away by how good these sound now. What do you guys think of my first time woody?

Just fixed that, not sure why I didn’t pay attention to those holes. Uncovering them fixed the harshness of the highs! Thank you so much for the advice. This whole thread is awesome and I’ve fallen in love with these. I think I might actually like these better than my Nightowl’s.
Good catch! I looked these pictures over and didn’t even see it.
The photo is from the one and only Post Your Grado Mods thread on Head-Fi! I tried messaging the user a year ago, but it seems he's left the site. Are you saying the rodblocks were machined by hand?
