Thanks... how about bass... is the order the same? SR225i > SR125i > MS1i

im not sure as i havent any one of them.. you can google for reviews.. mostly at headfi.. from my readings.. sr225i will be better the other two.. but also the price..huhuhu..

unfortunately for us there isnt any shop in malaysia as far as i know that stocks headphones n let us audiotion it...

if you are a freq traveler to singapore, you can try jaben..

jaben got online to order?

jaben is at singapore... if in malaysia you can try wallabies for allesandro n Davis for grado.. thats about it that i know..

ive sucessfully recable my grado sr60i with starquad cable with F-12 canare plugs.. more details from before.. but it seems to get brighter as well..huhu.. fun can, right in your face signature

I would rate MS1i on par or better than SR125, a lot of mods has been done by our fellow lowyatrians and it all sounded good.

And MS1, you can audition from us. Sometimes we also sell Grados.
Music by design in city square you can get Grados.

hey guys.. what amp/dac are you guys running?

grado can.. how long usually ppl can wear it? will user sweat after certain period of time?

i use it till i fell asleep...hmm.. not sure how long..huhuhuu..

you wont sweat but rather you will feel unconfortable as the standard pads is not that comfortable..

your ears will be pressed flat...

oh.. the pad is not cover whole ear but press the ear?the size is just small rite for all grado's can and very portable?

yerp, the ear pads sits on your ears... imagine putting your hands on your ears.. thats how it is..

unlike most other headphones, the earpads are big enough to cover the whole ear as in the pads are not touching your ears..

they are small and very portable.. but not recommended to use grado in an open environment as it leaks a lot.. well.. what do you expect from a open back headphones anyway right? hehe

yeah.. forgot bout the open at the back as grado is opened can.. haha.. but i dont know that it leak a lot..
so this can is not practical to be used at library at all? huhu.. wondering what kind of can is suitable to be used inside library.. haha..

for library, you should really consider a closed can or a earbud.. IEM are the best when it comes to library situation..huhuh.. i myself has a ath ck300 for library use.. can use the grado in the library man.. else ill be kicked out the minute i turn on my DAP..hahaha...

got my zero dac today.. fuwaaa.. nice dac amp..huhuhu.. suits my taste really well.. widen the soundstage significantly..

Wow aluminum. its interesting from aesthetic point of view but how about the SQ? will it make it warmer? i agree with you about the brightness. would really like to reduce it a bit.

The head band is also somehow too strong in clamping your head. I tried to carefully stretch the headband. it helps a bit or perhpas i have gotten used to the clamping power? haha

yeah it does look interesting..
im not sure what SQ effects will the alu chamber bring into table.. will let you guys know once ive done it..

but from my point of view, there is a limit to modding the grados... in the end of the day the signature will not change that much, grados will always be well grado.. they are forward n bright.. well..it suits me anyway..

one thing that will definitely effect the sq is your source.. investing in a good DAC/Amp combo is good start.. well thats what i learn from my short steps in audiophile..

right now im running foobar200->asio->onboard coaxial->modded zero DAC amp->modded grado sr60i.. everything has something to do with the end result

anybody knows how to open grado driver cup? I found this page about grado mods but still really scared to do it. anybody have any sucess before?

i actually follow the instruction there.. i dipped my plastic enclosure in a hot water (just after boiling) and use the spoon method.. yes.. it does look scary..well modding in general in kind of scary, but you'll get the hang of it.hehehe

ouch.. who could dare to modi like that surely had lost their mind.. haha..

indirectly you are saying that ive lost my mind a?

LOL.. just kidding.. no la.. it wont harm the tranducers.. just make sure you dont dip it untill kena the tranducers la.. n make sure you dry them them throughly..

haha ok2 will try it. hope that my grado will be ok. I am able to acquire a wood mod for grado. will let you guys know what hapenned next hehe

just do it!

hahaha.. it wont hurt that much.. people around the world has been modding grado for years..
