High End Grados
Mods for your High End Grado including... HF-2, RS-1's & RS-2's, GS-Series, PS-Series, HP2 or HP-1000 drivered Joe Grado's. Choose between the Wide Tops or Triple Point woodies (some samples in pics below). Don't forget to check out The Vixen as an option also.
Triple Point will point downward as in pics. Wide tops are the large round tops in pics.
In order to fit my woodies onto your drivers, I will remount them into my newly designed Korina driver holders. So whether you have metal or wood mounting currently, that will change to Korina wood (that's colored black). Korina driver housings will typically not show, as the pads cover them. I will use your unaltered headband without modification.
Some have commented the Triple Point are the most beautiful headphone they've seen… I was inspired to jot down this shape while playing guitar, not realizing till later that it resembles a guitar pick. What are the odds :-)

I mod and or recable most Grado cans on either this page or as The Vixen. I am the original modder who led the way for all aftermarket woodies and recables. Grado is the second headphone I "woodied", and the first recabled.
The recable, exclusive tweaks, my experience and the enclosure size is where the improvement can be realized... wood characteristics also plays a role to some extent. Thus I would lean to recommending a 'tall' enclosure.
For Classic woodies, I will modify (shorten) your forks (as seen in pics) so the woodies will fit my thicker wood walled enclosures. This helps their overall strength. The extended part that I modify has no purpose other than blocking the beauty of the wood. Woody end tips may not pass by the larger, current 325i band, thus you only have about half adjustment length of rods.
Locking Adjusting Rods… Adjust tight (in the vein of the old HP1000's) to steady the rods from moving up and down and that seemingly never ending Grado cable tangling and annoying swiveling. Can be finger adjusted very easily while wearing them. Available with recable or woody/recable only though…
