Grado GS1000 detachable cable mod

I had to convert a pair of GS1000 to take a detachable cable as the original cable was starting to degrade. This video shows the process I used and it worked very well.
Over all, it was probably a 3 out of 5 on the difficulty scale. with a bit of patience and the right tools, most people could probably do this but it would take a few hours to do

Those aftermarket metal gimbals look like one I got from shipibo audio for around 100usd... Great video! I am going to do detachable cable mod myself on my Grado SR60. I love everything about Grado but those god-awful cables!

[@CustomCans]

;) yes - the cables do let them down a bit

[@FuturePerfectContinuous]

100$ for the gimbals?!

[@BuzzinhornetCBR]

The gimbals are indeed from shipibo.audio Grado insist on using plastic rodblocks even on $3000 headphones. They do have their own metal gimbals, not as nicely done as these are (made from aluminum tube, rather than machined).

[@FuturePerfectContinuous]

the wax looks stunning 👍 good job 👏

[@CustomCans]

Thanks ;)

[@mathieuleduc7028]

Nice

"Grado or Grado if you are that way inclined", was that aimed at me? :-)

[@CustomCans]

LOL.... Yes, thought I had better try to get both pronunciations in there just in case

[@st200ol]

I think you did a good job with this one and as you say not too difficult to do either. I reckon the owner will be pleased with it.

[@CustomCans]

Thanks - I have some PS1000 and GH2 in the queue as well

Never warming up a Grado headophone as this will ruin the driver. It changes the diaphragm elasticity properties resulting a different sound signature.

[@CustomCans]

Yes, you need to keep an eye on the temperatures

[@Izou96]

are those the stock cups? i mean the stock cups come with engraving grado brand on it

[@CustomCans]

Yes, I believe so

[@ronaldotampu7055]

quick question, why did you need to tap the positive side with your knive?

[@CustomCans]

I was just marking the driver so I would remember which side was positive when I attached the new wires

[@ronaldotampu7055]

I see. Thanks for clearing it out. Admire your videos so much.

[@DragoNNumber1]

do you make custom for headphones?

[@CustomCans]

Yes we do ;)
