    Have you ever considered contributing to this forum with useful information rather than just visiting to hock your goods? Just wondering................. my Grandma wonders too.

That I'm impatient to get HF-2s is making me tempted to get a pair of these.

what if we dont like it? returns?

if i send you a grado ext cable can you use that instead of the regular wire and set it up in balanced? i can send you nuetrik xlr's.

Yes. It looks like we will be offering returns for customers of the pre-order run. Details are still being worked- i should have something up by this afternoon.

As for the wire- we can solder a new cable during the modification (as long as it does not involve 'making' a cable).

Have you guys considered doing this for more headphones? ie non-grados?

Good question- I found the SR325/MS2 to be the 'sweet spot' for our upgrade design. Since it employs some aluminum parts- modifying it to be all-aluminum was more feasible than the alternatives.

Could you elaborate a bit more on the sound improvements of your modification? Are we really talking about PS-1/HP-1000 level?

What is the difference between SR-325i and MS-2 as the base model?

The new headphone is much more 'refined' than stock MS2/325- bass, mids & highs. improvements are across the board. See my post on the previous page.

There is no sonic difference between the SR325 and MS2 post mod- this is on purpose.

Ordered. I wouldn't be surprised if they arrived before my HF-2s at the rate things are going.

I believe the next batch of 100 will cover up to about order 5950.

Glad to see your pet project come to fruition finally Rhydon. Can't wait to read peoples impressions on the mods. :)

Biggie.

Thanks Jamie.

Everyone, as of now we have 11 openings remaining.

Very tempted... maybe if I sell my RS-1's, but that's a big maybe. Nice to see you the other day Rhydon, we need to do that again sometime soon. :)

I just thought to ask, is it possible to open them up to re-cable them afterwards (should a customer wish to do so)?

At the moment we're asking customers to send their headphone to us for recabling.

Today is the last day for the Symphones Magnum/Head-case discount. We still have a few positions available for interested members.

Can't wait to get mine :)

Suggestions for further research / improvement :

1. Replacement ear pads (leather?) + cloth grill to protect the driver.

2. Full metal rod holder.

They do come with a black acoustic cloth on the drivers. They were removed during photos.

Sale has ended. Thanks to everyone who ordered.

  • 1 month later...
  • 4 weeks later...

If all is well, I should have it next week ...

Got a shipping confirmation :) Since I live in a neighboring province, it should arrive in a couple of days... am I the first ???

I was promissed they would ship last week, I heard nothing yet though.
