There are many start at beginning and good luck.

Thx! But why everyone is obsessed with SennGrados? It's like 70% posts of the thread are Senns and 20% are Koss. Like I was looking for AT or Beyer ones but failed miserably.

Btw I was trying to find someone who can make a fancier version of the Grado Branding ring and the dot in the middle tho. I would like some special branding on it like Sony Just Ear did on their shield lol

(I wouldn't tell everyone that I wanted to look different and strange LOL!)

Trying to revive a dead thread here, I am curious on building a Grado, but looking at this thread deepens my curiosity on Non Senn Grados.

I am thinking of using T1/880 drivers or salvaged drivers from China, or even Audio Technica drivers.

I wanna go with walnut/aluminum, with shallow cup and Alcantara/Leather band as my initial design.

Thinking as it is a thread for no Grado drivers, wish anyone might can tell me some tale of non Senn grados.

@7keys Amen..plenty of options.

@DomDOMT I've never seen any of the Beyer drivers in a radically open-backed design like the Grado one. Usually even the 880 have some damping behind them. Be prepared to possibly spend a good amount of time experimenting with damping in the chamber behind the driver.

I spent some time messing around with the Nakamichi SP-7 drivers, which was fun:

How was the sound of SP-7?

BTW I am extremely new to DIY here, Smoked some strange crack online recently and brought me here to see if I can go mad with Grado design.

I am thinking if Walnut Housing is good enough that I can just go with OG Grado aluminum cups, and Sadly I didn't know much about damping. I need help here lol

Another candidate of driver is V-Moda M-100, my old workhorse and the sound is amazing. Missing her a lot and regret on didn't go balanced output with her.

Hello diy friends, I've noticed there are px100 clone speakers, has anyone compared them to the originals?

Mainly plan on making a senngrado
