Hello folks!
My Grado SR325is are unhappy with me.
It's been a while since my last post. Unfortunately, my return is due to some amount of desperation after trying to fix Grado rattle with no success.
I believe this rattle is this time exclusively my fault. Once, when trying to remove hairs form the driver, I forgot about the "gentle" part. Also, I used the GS1000 pads for a while, which could not have helped since I needed double the volume level to get the same sound amplitude to my ears as with flats or bowls.
I have a theory that, if I didn't tear the driver at a corner, which it doesn't look like I have, I had uniformly dislocated the driver cone either forward or back.
If I breathe in and out lightly for this rattling driver, I hear popping at the start of both inhalation and exhalation. This does not happen at the right driver...
The rattle, by the way, is very very very subtle, but I know it's there (it's like The Tell Tale Heart or something). I can completely forget about if for hours and hours, and it will come back ever-so-subtly when a certain frequency is hit for more than a moment. When listening to "State of the Art" by Gotye, for example, I can just hear it. When listening to an exhaust system clip on youtube, it is a bit more prevalent, but still takes my knowledge of what my cans sound like and removing one ear pad at a time to check for this said rattle.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks a million in advance!
