Crap… I fixed them

I couldn't give up on my precious Grado SR-80s. Turns out the cable was only broken in three places; nothing a couple hours and a lot of electrical tape couldn't fix. Now I can't justify buying a replacement.

Fixed headphones

They really do sound amazing. If only they weren't so fragile and difficult to transport. And ugly, for that matter.

    I've used my Grado SR-225 headphones for years as reference monitors to do sound mixing. I *love* the way they sound.

    Good to see someone else has seen the Grado light. ;-)
