And Grado with the flat pads were famous and admired for their warm sound... why the hell Grado are selling their cans with those f@#k§ng bowl pads???!!!??? The bowls made the Rs-1 more grainy and tiny sounding that my Sr-60 with the flats... GRADO ARE GRADO ONLY WITH THE FLATS, REMEMBER!
So... back in topic:
I LOVE the Grado Rs-1 (with flat pads)
but I can't reach them and the Grado Rs-60 are very good and not so distant and maybe more neutral than their queen (remember again, the flats)
