[size=small]Magnum is a state of the art headphone design using Grado headphones as a foundation.[/size]

Magnum aims at improving headphone performance through material science. Our process starts with a Grado headphone, we remove the original plastic driver assemblies and inner sound chambers leaving only the outer earcups, headband, and cable. We then install our own specially designed aluminum earcup cylinders. These act as a rigid and robust internal chamber, many times stronger than the original plastic pieces. 
 
In addition to our aluminum cylinders we provide our own specially designed headphone driver assemblies. Developed in house over the course of 3 years we have taken the finest materials and production techniques to create a wonderfully light, compact, and highest performing headphone driver. Our newest incarnation, the S2 driver, is a result of our latest technologies and enhancements and has been specifically designed to partner with our aluminum cylinders.
 
Presently the Magnum design is available in two offerings. The first and most successful is our flagship Magnum modification or simply "Magnum". This model uses aluminum gimbals in addition to robust aluminum sound chambers, acting as sturdy and well balanced headphone supports. Aluminum everywhere is the approach to the Magnum design and this model echoes that statement in even the smallest details right down to the tips on the ends of the headband rods which are machined from the same non-resonant alloy used for the headphone cylinders. 
 
Our second and most recent offering, the Magnum Lite, is identical to the Magnum in every sound for the exception of using the original Grado headband forks for ear cup support. Using the same acoustic elements as the Magnum this model is for the budget minded individual who is demands the purest sound quality.

hi i have a question:

these headphones are available for mod- Grado SR325, SR325i, SR325is, HF-2, Alessandro MS2, MS2i. you mentioned that you will be replacing the drivers with specially tuned ones, so my question is that if i send in a SR325 and a MS2, will the 2 headphones come out sounding the same ( because the new tuned drivers are the same) or will they come out sounding different ( the SR325 is replaced with new SR325 tuned drivers and the MS2 is replaced with new MS2 tuned drivers.) thanks.

They will be very similar yes. The only differences i could think of would be due to the SR325 buttons vs the MS2 open grill.

If the drivers are totally being replaced, why can't other Grado units be used?

 

[xuan87]

i think the drivers are tuned with an aluminum casing in mind, probably that's why.

Any of the newer "i" series Grado's SR60i to SR225i can be used for this mod. We just haven't tried it yet. If someone would like to experiment i would be more than willing to offer them a return policy if there are any issues.

erm, won't it be cheaper if you use a SR60i instead of a SR80i? since the new drivers are the same, and the SR60i and SR80i has the same plastic construction, won't the end products be essentially the same?
