My Grado RS-1is have also been recabled with 20 feet of Cardas.

The modder took a great risk in trying this procedure (although the final results turned out stellar!). I would not recommend trying this mod at home, unless you are an experienced craftsperson and electronics assembler. The wooden cups of the expensive RS-1 must be taken apart and reassembled very slowly and carefully for this mod. Therefore, I won't attempt to describe exactly how it needs to be done.

The sonic differences between mine and a stock pair are subtle. A bit smoother, more refined, slightly more air and space.

The Cardas cable and matching plug are of much higher build quality than stock. No comparison at all there! A worthy upgrade.
