I’m sorry for my ignorance is this a user or style can anyone provide me a link I’ve searched i didn’t come up with anything with that name.

You can contact this person: https://www.rholupat.com and see if they're still turning cups (search contact on the website). Also I think the Elleven acoustica driver makers I think also turns cups?

Here's a good thread about wood cups

Thread 'The Great Grado Experiment (4 tonewoods tested, more to come!)'

Oct 16, 2013

Intro:

So several weeks ago over in the Grado mods thread, 7Keys came up with a BRILLIANT idea. Make identical cups for Grados out of 4 popular types of North American tone woods, and have them shipped around to various members for testing! Well, I jumped on the idea right away and here I am, first one to get the cups. More woods are going to be added, getting more and more exotic as the GGE goes on. Each member will have the cups for roughly 2 to 3 weeks, only cost is that of shipping to the next member.
 
The four types of wood we have so far are:

Today I swapped original Grado sr225e drivers for Sennheiser PX100 II drivers. Swap wasn't drop-in as Senn driver (or plastic grill part) was very slightly larger. I reamed plastic off with knife until drivers just fitted snugly into wooden cups (by Shipibo). That build is less and less Grado, as now only headband and gimbals are from original sr225e. But oh boy I love the sound! It's warmer (or less peaky) than sr225e, but very airy, detailed and with punchy pretty tight bass. At one time PX100 II was my favorite headphone. I think sound is a bit airier now as drivers are further from ears (and with no foam).

Been getting a slight itch to come back to grado's for their modifications and custom works.
I don't see a lot of newer options for grado drivers, would there be interest for that to be a thing?

I love a good grado design, so who knows! Most likely a 50mm using alnico magnets.

hello thanks all could anyone recommend me a wood guru whom can turn grado cups, seems like all the older resources have moved onto higher pastures really interested in building a custom set myself,for fun and learning. thanks again please feel free to dm.

For cups you could ask @fleasbaby and @kopral 21 or even adhi rholupat. These are the only ones i know, who sell wooden cups.
