My bad, just did. I have some ideas. I am not particularly skilled when it comes to fabrication, but I really want to try to make my own cups, even if they turn out very ugly.

Well if you end up successful using Koa, maybe you could also try Ebony, because I know it's also a super dense wood and I really like how it looks. Either way, godspeed my friend

Anyone interested in buying some ms1i's ill take $75 have box and all if you want that. i did like 3 mods i punched 1 hole out each ear i did the blu-tac mod and i used felt to line the inside the cups all reversible. i bought these in i think december and kind of rather have the $ right now they're in good shape have comfies on them. I know this isnt the place to post this but i wasnt getting any feedback or many views on the for sale section so let me know.

Hello again folks!
I have a couple of days off, so...the modding itch was a beast...I changed the cups of my Grados with woodies self made. The sound...i have no idea right now because the glue is still fresh...i can't wait to hear them later tough )
As i promised, THE PICTURES

wow...
 
did a great job! look fantastic! hope it sounds as good as it looks!

Just wondering, after I modded my previous MS1i to MS1000i, I was able to play it at my desired volume.

The sound just cracks at the top end or when it gets busy.
 
I was amping it with Mustang, DACport, Schitt Valhalla and Burson HA160.
Voyager was the only amp that works with it.
 
However, I've sold all my amps except DACport, sold the MS1000i about a year ago.

I'm itching to start something again with another set of Grado or Alessandro. But I don't want to end up with the same problem I faced previously.
 
So, I am wondering, what was wrong, or was I pushing the limit of the drivers with the volume?

Thanx! Good luck with the woodies is a very rewarding job if it turns out ok

By the way, i changed the senny pads with l-cush ones. For my ears, there is an improvement, but i still cannot stop thinking about the cost of those damn things, at least here in Italy...

I had the most stupid idea right now.

What about put some leds inside the cups, right below the meshs, it would look cool on the dark of our rooms.

Anyone think it's technically possible?

It'd be easy to do, but you would need batteries within the cups, too. If you used low drop LEDs and big resistors, you could potentially use little lithium button batteries and have them last pretty much forever. I understand it's aesthetic, but I have a feeling it'd be a lot more work than it'd be worth.
