I made some extensive search on Grado RA1 and to my surprise, the parts used in RA1 are dirt cheap. I read an old post from this forum that there is a guy (not to mention name) used to sell the parts for a small fee.

 

Appreciate if anyone in this forum could guide me through in getting the parts for RA1 clone. Thank You.

you mean like this ?

No, it is not. i saw in an online US site selling both male and female connector at only few usd but i cant recall which site now. Let me try to recall and revert.

 

ha..ha.. found it

for toucan amp, the connector can be bought off RS or Farnell, cant remember which again, getting old so memory not too good.

thanks man ^__________________^ you're my saviour

Have you tried LHS located in SLT?

not yet, maybe i will. oh and i read somewhere that the protector 4 pin connector is proprietary of RSA.. not good news then..

The 4 pin male for protector and the 6 pin female for the ibass PB1 Toucan?

just make sure you dont choose too big awg or its gonna become a bother..

the cable braiding was made in this manner to facilitate more flexibility..making the braid too compact makes the cable too stiff overall in its outlook especially for a 26awg

Oh, that. Hmm, I hear shipping is a little on the high side, not prepared to shell out for an experiment yet.

 

Thanks =)

yup shipping is a little high, but it sure does beat the crap out of diy pins (in terms of looks and finish product)

WOW, LW3 with 3 more drivers?

The only thing that bothers me about the cable is the y-splitter. LOL. Looks so cheapo.

couldnt find a nice splitter ... but its actually neat and blends well with the cable

What cable is that? ALO SXC?

no, its TWSPC

Been seeing quite a few DIY cables for customs being shown in this forum, quite tempted to do my own.

Where do you guys find the small 2-pin connectors on the IEM side?

from hong kong

ask the uncles at SLT for recommendation

under 50, maybe the mogami can do the job

From the website

and in one instance a potential health hazard and regards to sound quality, its muddy, head nauseating sound signature would likely give you a headache after listening to 10minutes of your favourite rock music or trance music

i think that answered your question..

Found a topic on comparing the custom TF10 and universal TF10 in other forum, seems like the custom will impact on the treble.

you could always do a add mid driver, it just costs a little more..

Too bad for those being scammed. I hope you are not one.

Well, still safe for me since I don't go for online order.

nope i didnt get scammed, i got mine 2 yrs ago..way before they started producing the fakes..

bad.. the counterfeiters have gone one step and produce the classic porta pros.. and are selling it under the guise of OEM products..

Dont get deceived...!!

especially those from ebays..!!

the pictures that they show you are stock pictures they got from somewhere, it is not what they are carrying!!

they are similar. TF10 is slightly more balanced and integrated from high to low.

 

but...it only takes me less than one minute to figure out that i could never wear the TF10 no matter how good it sounds. the comfort is a joke. for me, UE only makes sense when go to custom.

you're kidding right?

westone 3 and TF10 sound signatures are different in nature. although westone 3 would be more comfortable and easier to wear, i find TF10 sounds more neutral and balanced whereas westone 3 might sound a little warmer but it sounds muddy to me when it comes to bass

up ^^
