What diameter are those ear pads Martin?

[realysm42]

You just made me get out of my seat :D

End to end, they're 79mm - I never got around to doing it, but some people replace the stock pads with the larger ones.

Hope that helps?

Just bought some SR80is or I'd have had these off you :doh:

[realysm42]

There should definitely be a calendar of our members proposed upgrades vs sales, I've read too many threads where this occurs :(

Enjoy your new headphones Roy, I love the Grado sound and aim to get some of the top ones, once my main system's "done". Have you used them before?

[Roy S]

Just bought them on spec. from all the good reviews I'd seen to go with the Beresford DAC I just got Martin

[realysm42]

I'd never heard of Grado until I did some research for a decent pair of headphones; that was pretty much my first step into my hi-fi journey. The reviews speak for themselves:

I reckon you'll be upgrading at some point Roy :eyebrows:

[Roy S]

Had Sennheisers for many years but these seem to be something special. You're probably right about upgrading & I'll stop treading all over your thread now Martin

[realysm42]

Lol, I'm quite happy to chat to you about them; I've not really spoken to anyone about headphones on here.

Is the Dac a new addition to the system too then, have you had a go with it yet?

[Roy S]

Bought it off a fella on here, it's a 7520 but has had quite a few mods done. Just using it as a headphone amp from the laptop at the moment (why I purchased the Grados) and I'm really pleased with the results. Do tend to play it a bit too loud though, went to bed with me ears ringing the other night.

[realysm42]

Bump.

[Tim]

I'll take them Martin if still available?

Where in SW London are you, I could collect them as I come up for gigs in London often and have one in a couple of weeks time.

[realysm42]

Provisionally sold.

Tim, I'm in Surbiton, post code KT6, I'll send you a more conclusive message later!

Picked up the 225's from Martin yesterday.

Many thanks Martin, nice to meet you and thanks for letting me have a demo and a peek at your system :)
Will try out those bands you played later too - thanks again for an easy and pleasant transaction.

(and the gig last night was quite astonishing, it was like going back in time to the 70's)
