On the other hand, I bought MY 325i goldies for metal bands.

You haven't heard sharp and engaging till you've heard Opeth's Morningrise on vinyl and 325is.

After that initial feeling that I wouldn't do it, indecision returned and I
eventually decided to experiment and submitted my own for the Magnum upgrade.

lol, welcome to the club.

anyone received the shipping info yet? they were expected to ship out this week, but i hadn't gotten anything...

 

[aimlink]

I just got a notice from Rayment that they had managed to ship out over half of the pre-orders and that if I hadn't yet received shipping info, then they'll be shipping out the rest by Monday or Tuesday next week.

 

[SemiAudiophile]

yeah...i got that too just after my post, it's about time. very excited to see, touch, and hear them. i want my baby back!

In the meantime, I've been getting more acquainted with my MarkL modded D5000's with JMoney pads. Quite nice, but I still miss my 325is and can't wait to hear what they'll sound like spiffed up. Are we supposed to be experiencing PS1-type sound?

I'm guessing it will be more neutral.

3 days later...

Anyone received their's yet?

 

[SemiAudiophile]

nope, haven't received mine yet. there appears to be another delay with the 2nd half of the pre-orders...expected to ship 10/5. i wonder if anyone got theirs from the 1st half of the shipment...

 

[Duckman]

Yes, I just got the email... and was wondering about receivers of the first shipment too - there's got to be some of you out there.

don't know what the PS1 sounds like, but my guess is that it will retain or perhaps slightly extend the highs of the SR325i. i personally don't think you can extend the highs any further, they have the best highs on any can i've ever heard. i'd expect it to have better resolution, detail with rich mids and extended bass such as the RS1.

We've had a few people ask us about the original SR325's-the sonic improvements are identical to the other versions post Magnum...It would give your pair a unique look thats for sure- more like the HP-1000's...As for sonics- the new coating actually works to enhance high frequency response through better controlling the diaphragms breakup mode. Short answer- very much so. The new headphone is much more 'refined' than stock MS2/325- bass, mids & highs. improvements are across the board...There is no sonic difference between the SR325 and MS2 post mod - this is on purpose.

based on Rhydon's comments, i'm expecting overall: a more balanced, neutral presentation, with extension across the frequency spectrum.

I've talked with Rhydon personally about this mod and I think those that have ordered will be pleasantly surprised. Though I haven't ordered a pair my self, I can't wait to hear them at the next Toronto meet... which, assuming I can get my act in gear, should be sooner than later.

 

[DoYouRight]

Id love to hear these and would be dank if they really outperform the common idea of what they will be.

After a surprising experience of HF-1s on my rig, I caved and ordered both HF-2s and the Magnums. Latest news is, unfortunately, that they broke the tooling to connect the cups, so there will be another, albeit short, delay of a few days. I was hoping to receive my pair in time for an Elekit factory visit next week, but that doesn't look like happening. At least I wont have to wait for the drivers to burn in.
