bamboo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 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 Cheers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamboo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) 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 Edit: Are there any shops that does custom woodwork?

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamboo 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamboo 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still looking around for Grado SR125/225/325 drivers and headband.. hm. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
