August 3, 200916 yr Author 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).
August 3, 200916 yr Author 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.
August 3, 200916 yr Author 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.
August 9, 200916 yr Ordered. I wouldn't be surprised if they arrived before my HF-2s at the rate things are going.
August 9, 200916 yr Glad to see your pet project come to fruition finally Rhydon. Can't wait to read peoples impressions on the mods. Biggie.
August 13, 200916 yr 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.
August 19, 200916 yr I just thought to ask, is it possible to open them up to re-cable them afterwards (should a customer wish to do so)?
August 21, 200916 yr Author At the moment we're asking customers to send their headphone to us for recabling.
August 21, 200916 yr Author Today is the last day for the Symphones Magnum/Head-case discount. We still have a few positions available for interested members.
August 21, 200916 yr 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.
August 21, 200916 yr Author Can't wait to get mine 1. + cloth grill to protect the driver. They do come with a black acoustic cloth on the drivers. They were removed during photos.
October 17, 200916 yr It's only been two months... But seriously, not one of these has made it out into the wild yet?
October 20, 200916 yr Got a shipping confirmation Since I live in a neighboring province, it should arrive in a couple of days... am I the first
