My Grado cups "swivel" far too easily.
Is there an easy way to make them a bit more "stiff"?
Does anyone else experience this issue?
It's on a pair of SR80i, for reference.
Those are nice, I like the black stripe.
Is that a pono back there?
'Tis indeed a Pono...well spotted. I am really liking it. Bad battery life compared to my X5, but sounds fantastic.

Does it have enough power for your Fostex T50RP's?
I'm thinking of buying one when it comes to Canada, you think it's a good buy?
I noticed the drivers have two holes opened by default. Is this part of the new "e" series design or have MS1 drivers always been vented? Never noticed before...
part of the new e series. I had an old pair of sr80 with a busted driver, I sent them to grado for repairs and came back with that type of drivers with holes already there, they sounded great!

oh they really sounded good compared to x5? i've read the news saying they're all just hype, im actually curious....

Well worth a listen in my humble opinion. Note, most of the nay-sayers are not the folks you usually see reviewing good portable audio gear. Look up Tyll Hertsen's write-up on Inner Fidelity...
What kind of files were you using?

Unfortunately all my test tracks that I've regularly used for 20 years are 16/44.1, so I did all the blind listening tests between gear at 16/44.1. I'll have to edit the article to add that soon, sorry. I did listen to a number of hi-res tracks in casual listening and heard the type of things I always do---smoother, more organic, more pleasing/less annoying than 16/44.1, but by objectively subtle amounts.

I love all these mods, and have read through a few of the 400+ pages.
I just really would love when people posted their creations, that they listed the likes of the, where they got their wires, and gimbals, and cups, by way of links. It would make it so much easier.
Was also wondering, if anyone had dimensions, of the Grado cups from, the 60's all the way up ? Like a CAD sheet or the likes. My Chippy is coming into some Zebrano Wook that will give a Striped look like this
and I would love to have the measurements to give him. I'm looking at buying the 60s and modding them, being my first mod. Is there anything like this in these 400+ pages ?? I remember seeing something when I first joined, but for the life of me I got no idea where it is. . .
Cheers
