I was able to get one off after some heat and then able to push it off from the other side. The other one is still firmly there so hopefully I'm able to take it off with a hair dryer if I can find one.

Also, pardon the curiosity, but whatever happened with Bilavideo? I see that thread just kind of died off at the end of August.

 

I have the same question as well. I have been reading the thread but I'm only on page 120 or so... and Bila is still there in full glory. However, when I was watching one of his youtube videos I saw someone had mentioned how he disappeared with everyone's headphones that they sent to him to be woody'd and that they were disappointed (and angry) with him. That's all I really know.
 
Can anybody explain what happened?

Hahaha... nice.

 

[Melvins]

they deleted the thread and pretended like it never happened.

Such a shame, he was more or less the father of modern Grado modding and he inspired a few people to make a business out of modding Grados.
 
He also renewed my interest in Grados as well. I had a 2 year old SR-60 that I never used until I mustered up the courage to poke some holes, blu-tak the magnet, and recable the thing... some might say thats how I got started even.
 
Thanks Bilavideo for the information, it's a shame things happened the way they did.

A manufacturer I know in England who makes Carbon Fiber parts for F1 cars and others and is also a bigtime audiophile wants me to try out some Carbon Fiber on my Grado's and stock ones also. I have my modded Limba wood Grado's from what feels like years ago when in fact it was last year. Check these out...
Its all about increased airflow......I think on Black stock Grado's they will look awesome....
 I'll try them on mine first, limba rules, hey is anyone here from the original GR60 Mod thread that Bilavideo started way back...remember me Ed..the old guy!!!  I'm back....

It's nice to see you're back! Just a couple of days ago I was reading in the first SR-60 mod thread about how you had just been released the hospital after getting treated for neuropathy (if I remember right)!

awwwww MAN! just when I thought I was done with modding my Grado's....

 
now keep them carbon fiber cups coming!

 

 

[prabha71]

Poison....!!!!!

 

[KneelJung]

Welcome back Ed, how are you feeling these days?
 
I'm not sure I quite get how your incorporating the carbon fiber. In the original thread, one of the regular contibutors, pbstefandwich made some CF cups for his magnum drivers. Your picture looks like your attaching the CF to the stock cup am I seeing that right?

I plan on opening up my grados tonight as I found a screen at homedepot. I'm going to put that in on my Sr-80i as well as some tack on the magnet.

I'd also like to know where to poke the holes i want to do 1 hole on each side.

 

[KneelJung]

When you guys get your cups separated, just hold the driver housing up to some light. The holes that surround  the magnet are visible through the fabric. One is a good start, getting a pair of flat pads may be a better way to go though, and Posam I think rescreening your cups is a great upgrade. BTW the hole punch mod is reversible, so just have fun. Most of us have found that less is more though. Also pics are always appreciated in this thread. Keep us updated.

Just got done cutting the screen (pain in the butt my god) held it up to the light and saw the holes. I'm still hesitating about that part as I like the sound as is (through my digizoid Z02) and I don't think I should actually vent them. Time to make the other screen and then flatten them out and get them in.
