nice to see flats getting some attention again. For me, grados are far from a pleasurable experience without flat pads. with bowls and even HD414's, I can't hear the music, all I can pay attention to is this glaring treble, jabbing me in the face. Once the flats go on, everything smooths back out to normal, and there is the soul of the music staring at me to appreciate.
My only complaint with their sound is that the bass gets a bit boomy. but i'll take that over the artifacts produced by the other pads. just my 2 cent rant....
