Sourcing for Grado parts

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm quite new to sgheadphones but I notice a few familiar names... :)

Anyways, I am going to be upgrading my Grado SR60 headphones but

I need to source for the "parts" locally since I don't really like buying

from overseas unless it is completely necessary.

 

Things I need:

 

1. 2 used Grado plastic non-i version cup or aluminium/wood cups.

2. 1 new leather head band

3. recable

4. 2 new Magnum drivers or partially liberated used SR125/225 drivers

 

So if anyone knows anyone who is willing to part with their Grado spare parts,

shoot me a pm or reply to this thread. I can't create a wtb/wts thread since

I'm new but if this also considered as one, sry :D

 

Cheers,

I don't have much use for those, but thanks for the offer.

 

Priority now is to get non-i version plastic, aluminium or wood cups :D

 

Edit: Are there any shops that does custom woodwork?

if u can find woodwork in singapore = expensive

 

if you are willing to PAY(expensive again) a plastic or alu frame can machined out, their are some workshop (check yellow pages)

 

else, if u can small nice piece of wood, buy a saw, a engraver, craft the frame yourself... hard way... not as expensive...

I don't have the skills to diy wood (yet) but I may give it a try... The wood and machine shops in yellow pages also only seem to make things in large numbers, piping, etc so I don't think it's a wise idea.

After searching through a number of threads in another forum, I found one saying that the filipino guys over at headphiles,org make good and relatively cheaper woodies. But I can't seem to create an acc there.

 

Good news is I have a replacement for my current plastic cups, which is the non-i version. Hopefully it's easier to take off the plastic button in the middle.

 

Still looking around for Grado SR125/225/325 drivers and headband.. hm.

I've given my Grado to my younger bro, but yea if you decide to go through with it, keep me updated. I drew some of my own Grado cups in Wildfire (dno if I still have it) and some replicas of the wooden cups sold by Cabillas.

I am on headphiles.org. So you can point me the threads you saw the woods from. There are 2 wood makers currently in the loop - 1 is PrawnCracker which makes 'em from mahogany wood, and Kerwinsee that uses ironwood.

If i am to convert price, the woods will be less S$100 a pair.

 

Headbands are also available. DIYed leather goodness. You can choose what type of leather you want too, depends on availability.
