Had a bit of an epiphany today...
 

 
Flat pads with added soundstage, but without sacrificing the bass.  Will post more details when i can unglue them from my head...

 

[joshkerr]

Love these.  Are they available for purchase?

They kinda look like he matched up the L-Cush foam and glued rings onto them.

Finally got hold of the Vibro cups and they truly are a beauty to behold!
 
Still slightly shaky after a long weekend festival and with slightly trembling hands I soldered some stock cables to the already liberated 225i drivers I got from the FS section a little while ago. The rest of the installation was a breeze, the included foam makes a perfect seal to seat the drivers in the cups! They are now glued to my head, wow, they sound great!
 
Never had a chance to listen to the drivers before installation, so I can't really remark about the difference between the cups, but I have other Grados, so I will be comparing them soon!
 

 
Image has been manipulated a bit, removed all the colour from the pic, leaving only the woodies in their original colour, no further tweaks.

I cut up a pair of bowls and stuck them onto flats...

I got mine today also (about an hour ago)
 

 
I did get the #3 cups as opposed to the #2's, so I might weep myself to sleep tonight. My next major decision is whether or not to wait on a set of 325i drivers, or dismantle my SR80 cans so I can enjoy them now.

Yep I fully agree, got mine too, really are stunning thanks Taiden!! And happy birthday too for today!!! You deserve a good day after your faultless execution of these cups.

 

[taiden]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Birthday has been more cups.. haha, what can you do?
 
Klaatu I'm sorry I sent you #3 instead of #2, check your PMs.

 

[Klaatu]

Happy birthday! 
I'm thrilled with the cups and am amused by the mix up.

Just ordered a set of Vibro Classic, they look fantastic in the photographs! Now I've got to decide whether to try to pick up a pair of used Grados or just hack up my beloved MS1is ...

 

[Klaatu]

By way of clarification, the "I may weep myself to sleep tonight" bit was a jape. Having the third set as opposed to the second isn't at all important for me. Luke has been very communicative and seems even more excited about them than I am (although he did keep the rather beautiful curly maple set for himself).
I should state that the cups I have are the Vibro Vintage, and they're absolutely perfect from a physical standpoint. I'm still waiting to hear about a set of drivers to see what direction I'll be going in with these. I can hardly wait to hear them.

Those Vibro cups look fantastic!  I had planned on turning a set of aluminum cups for my V4 Magnums, but I think I might have to grab a set of the Vibros instead...

Ms1is. Are they plastic? If so. Hack hack. I put the classics on my ms1 and the sound is more robust. Well worth it.

mmmm buying nail varnish was a fun. i went for black, thought for a bit about painting the drivers bright red. mmmm maybe next time.

Hey, good to see a familiar face from rock grotto. what does this mod do, loosen and make things a bit more supple? sounds the most extreme of all
