grawk Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 moved the order info to the casino to get away from google's prying eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 General paranoia about the "bad guys" using one of our order numbers to somehow steal or otherwise screw with one or more of our orders. EDIT: Good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Didn't think of it in those terms. I highly doubt they can get our real full names and addresses matching the order number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 With people buying and selling stuff to each other it is not that unlikely..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Very true, but hopefully there's still some time to go until these appear on the used market, and an order number isn't the same as a serial number. Anyway, I agree it's better not having those data available on a google search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I am sure serial number will be different from the order number. I will start with #1 and go to whatever number until the end of the production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 So, I'm betting these headphones will be more likely to be wood holding the drivers with metal cups. I would even go so far to bet that the metal cups are going to look like the mahogany RS1 in shape. They will probably have the nice new thicker cable as well. I guess that would actually make them look a little similar to the HP-1000, maybe they would even have it black anodized, that would be great. I am really only hoping that there is no gold/brass involved, just silver/aluminum except for maybe the headphone plug. No buttons, just like these: My whole line of reasoning here is based on Grado not being able to be all that creative with their original designs. This just seems like the obvious thing to do. I wonder how plastic hinges would look with that, they wouldn't be hidden like they are by the PS1000. It would be a sure hit for me if it took some fashion hints from the hp-1000 for metal hinges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cankin Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I believe the shape of the cup would be the same as 325i/MS2i, and in fact, since these two models have plastic inside, just a quick swap with wooden ones and you have HF-2s EDIT, different drivers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be thankful they didn't just add the new "i" shaped plastic cups and call it a day. The whole new construction thing in general has me put off from preordering before pictures and impressions. I'm not a big fan of the SR325 at all, so the metal cups mixed with wood and different drivers on resonances just seem like it could be very touchy and hard to imagine if they will get it right or not (for me). The whole metal cup thing doesn't seem like it could sound close to being a more refined HF-1 though, it seems more likely to sound very different. So I am leaning with the mini PS1000 hopefuls, in any case they have my attention. Pray for deep cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm very curious to see what they are since if aluminum I'm not sure whether or not I will make them into a complete woody as I did my HF-1s. Of course I've also been back at the lathe recently enjoying the flexibility that the new Nova Chuck offers. My tall friend from Mass might be particularly interested in that...

The Nova Chuck & soft jaws look to make turning fun again! Turning is always fun, even on a treadle lathe. The right tools can make it even more fun however, so I get your point.

Well, you're right. The turning was always fun... The outside shaping of Grado cups went fine. It was trying to drill the end grain to open them up that was miserable. The chuck allows for sooooooo much more without having to struggle with a 2" forstner bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sounds like you need an excuse to practice! I believe there are currently no less than 4 sets of cups that were heretofore abandoned because they were too thin to drill. I think they all stand a good change of being able to be milled on the chuck. And Steve, yes the chuck is the tits, especially with the soft jaws.

The resin impregnation is pretty cool and might be the ticket here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
