Very cool and extremely cheap mod! Thanks for sharing! If, as you've described, this mod helps to tame the RS-1 highs and bring them a little closer to the HD600 type of sound (of course there is a great distance between the two, but I know what you're saying), then it's certainly worth $5 to give it a try for any RS-1 owner, no matter how much he/she loves the stock sound.
I've never owned the RS-1 myself because my ears just can't handle their highs (at least as I've heard them at some meets). So a simple mod that would tame them a bit would be fun to experiment with. I've got several other Grados and I might give this a try with some of them. Just need to remind myself to pick up some of those Rat Shack pads next time I'm in a mall.
