I have a Grado HP-2 with a poorly installed aftermarket cable (happened before I got them), and the connection between the cable and the driver has gotten loose in one of the earcups. Does anyone know a place that would be willing and capable at getting them repaired and/or recabled? Grado won't touch HP-1000; Joe cannot help anymore; and I don't feel like trying to do it myself at this point in my life.

You need to be sure that the problem is not in the driver first. It is easy to make a mistake. Grado drivers are frequently die this way. (intermittent signal). For sure cable cable problem can fixed, but in case of driver issue - I would say no more than 30% chances of success.

I'm pretty sure the problem's not the driver because wiggling the cable near the earcup would get the sound back on. Anyway, I ended up sending them to Brandon (Peterek) to get them looked at. If everything goes well, I'll have the only HP-2 on the planet with mini-XLR cable connectors

This guy doesn't touch anything that's been modded already. And...well...I personally have never been in love with his aesthetics.

Anyway, in Peterek I trust.

Older thread but I'm also looking for someone to repair my HP-2 headphones. Anyone know of a good and trustworthy place in the states to send them?

Brandon did a great job repairing my HP-2 and modding them to accept mini-XLR-terminated cables. However, the fault in my case was in the cable---the drivers were still going strong. If the drivers develop issues, then I'm afraid that these days there is nobody who can fix that.

Cool. How do I contact Brandon? My drivers are fine but I think something is up with the cable. Plus, these were stored for years and I was hoping to get someone to look them over and tweak if necessary.

Also...I need one rod lock screw and Grado says they don’t have any. Is there any good remedy?

He's on etsy (and here: https://www.head-fi.org/members/peterek.348881/). However, my understanding is that he doesn't usually do repair jobs though since he's a modder, so I can't promise he'll be interested in this project.

But, if you know it's just a cable and all that's missing is one screw, that Jay guy in Brooklyn might do the trick. You don't really need a Grado specialist for that.

thanks for the help. really want that screw so I can wear these things evenly!
