Grado Labs SR-80

How many hours does the can have already?

Burn in the can more.....

Try to move the can back abit from your head....position it back of the ear rather than the front of the ear. Its just a small move.U'd have to find that right spot when u feel the headache...

Thats wad i'll do...

sometimes its just the head not used to the clamping feeling of the cans

Interested with the grado SR80. May i start at $100

how abt these

only bummer is u have to get 10 peices

xchagg..very nice!!!

mine still in progress

hi guys

opa2134 - lm6171 = no distortion....but occil abit then fades off...the sound continues nicely

opa2134 + lm6171 = distortion

opa2228 - lm6171 = distortion

opa2228 left side = ok

opa2228 right side = ok

opa2228 + lm6171 = distortion

opa2228 left side + lm6171= ok

opa2228 right side + lm6171 = ok

will double check the soldering tomorrow..sigh

just in case i get a grado....i might need it

or i can justify a grado to fill it up

1 for me

Finish off the cmoy2 but getting problem with oscillation.

Reading the thread i've found that starushz and alvin 2038 also having the same problem.

I'm using opa2228 also. ordered opa2134 to test whether its the ic thats having the prob.

Funny thing is unless i on off/plug out HP, the cmoy2 sounds great. Put it back and i'll get hissing, occillation and a bunch of other noise

Ok, change them back to the original and short the 2 input cap. That should give no bass roll-off.

i've put it back to gain 6 and after awhile realised what was the prob.

the cable attached to the croc clips were loose with only a few strand attached.wondered why it didn't come off completely.anyway its in the hammond box already until i reliased that the i/o stereo conn is to big for the box.so i'll have to wait till weekend for a trip to slt.

Sony old product are good...same goes to many other brand...when they move their production to other country due to cost...quality is affected.....then due to competition, cut cost cut corner...u all know the story

Got mine up to go on the first try!!

But there's too much bass...roll off the cliff

soundstage sounds narrow

resistor i change the value abit

10 = r1/r5

100k = r2/r6

20k = r3/r7

20k = r4/r8

20k = r9/r10

are these the problems?

anyway i can improve it?

thanks

Hi.

 

You should try these value to reduce the bass rolloff.

 

R1: 10

R2: 20k

R3: 20k

R4: 20k

R5: 10

R6: 20k

R7: 20k

R8: 20k

hi jason

tried it but it sounded funny....i get weezing sound when i touch any of the resistor.the resistor is mounted on the socket so i can play around with gain and such.

going to resolder the wires with those multi strand wires. was using the single core type and it seem to come off 1 by 1. progress abit slow though

its been an issue thruout the world and sony haven even raised a finger

same..i ordered..next day called no stock need to wait 3-5 days

but other stuff arrived on the next day i ordered..so its ok

Got mine up to go on the first try!!

when will it be available?

It's impossible to buy the flagship of Beyer cans ie. DT880 as SGD300.....even DT250/150/990/770 don't sell at this price.

it was possible last week on sat, but i didn't pounce cause needed the dough for something else..display set though....just open for 3 days if im not wrong

neutrik right angle got gold meh....where u get??

anyone seen tropical recently....sent him a pm but no answer yet

i have a lot of classical tunes at home on LP but my dads LP player broke down couple of years ago.Maybe when i get around fiddling with LP then i might have a listen to them. Right now i guess its just a phase where i prefer classical tunes.....most likely it will phase away and come back later on. So maybe a couple of CDs for easy listening and to get rid of the itch

Anyone went to PALA....last day today

Great!...will go to HMV to have a listen to these

Been listening to Metallica's S&M lately and found that i like the fast and aggressive sounds of the orchestra. By any chance anyone knows who can i listen to either album or composer that plays fast and aggresive, minus the distortion.

right angle mini is actually a neutrik mini...$4.50 if im not wrong...got it from LHS

The neutrik right angle feels solid when u plug it in...the so call gold plated straight connectors feels abit flimsy.Maybe cause the weight...

Some pictures of the result

Sleeving it was a b*tch.I've got a notch in my nail with all the wire striping.Well it was worth it...the angle mini to mini turn out great.

In one of the cables i forgot to put in the screw cover....duh!!!

anyway i think its coming off once i got myself another right angle mini
