Cavite is as provincial as Antipolo, which is to say, not really provincial at all.  ;D

true but the subdivisions are clean and tidy in daang - that was a real tempting place to live in if only the wife wanted to move that far south :(

Blackwing are you reterminating Marcus's HF2 and 325s?

Gonna do a similar project once I get my female plug from bro Sin, get my headband from Racio and find some silver cables.

Would you happen to have any silver cabling lying around? :)

Daang Hari is really nice, you should have forced your wife to live there, then we'd be neighbors and I could drop by every Sunday for some whiskey and PS3 bashing. :)

I really wanted to move into Ponticelli phase 1, the minute I stepped out of the car the fresh air was awesome, the grass was cut, the pool was clean, the houses perfect... but no the missus felt it was too far away form the kids schools and family in San Juan ... (ach only 1 hour drive at best!).

We spent more on a 60sqm condo in San Juan when we could have had the best house on the lot in Ponticelli lol... ah well maybe next time ;)

ps. Blackwing I cant seem to open your site link right now.. :(

Still up in the air. I think I might ask you to do my recable once I get my female stereo jack as well. We'll see. I have the ability to do it but I'm still a novice at soldering, would rather let an expert do it as I'm afraid I might mess something.

I have a source for my female jack and headband, all I'm missing is cables. Hope I can attend the 27 meet, it's still a 50-50 thing for me.

My question i guess is, can you do this mod:

Resolder some silver cable from the right Grado driver up the headband into the left chamber. In the left chamber, connect the right and left drivers to a 3.5 female stereo jack, and attach the plug to the chamber.

That's all really. This should turn my GS8000 into a single-sided headphone with swappable cables.

I'll take care of making my own cable, I've gotten quite good at that and can source some nice angled Neutriks for the job from bro Sin. Though I still need some silver cable if I want to try a silver cable on this (not sure if it's a smart idea, might make it too bright -- but hey the cable is replaceable so no biggie. :)

I'll be getting stereos, not mono. Bro Arvin is the one who will be picking them up, I think he is getting them from Spectra in Makati. They might have Monos. I've seen some mono females in Ace or True Value I think but they are not very good in quality.

What a shame, the kids should've packed up and moved to La Salle or Bene over here. The you could join all the Southern Meets I plan every other week. Oh and yeah we can get drunk at midnight while bashing each other's brains out in Tekken 6. How perfect would that be!

well I still have the long term aim Erwin hehe.... ponticelli phase 2 is being built though not so sure if it will be as nice as phase 1, if ever she relents, i.e. I get a job in the south haha... then it could work out...

I really miss my walks like I used to do in Ireland :( impossible in greenhills 30 floors up  :-\
