Why stop there...why not just wedge your head between a pair of speakers? :rs1smile:

Great idea. Let us know how it works out.

with rs-1's with flats it opens up the soundstage and makes placement of the instruments further apart.

takes out any harshness,...or atleast smooths them off

and the low end bass of course becomes more solid.


try them

I've tried both kinds of flats, and finally settled on just flipping the bowls of my RS-1.

I have 2 pair of original NOS Joe Grado Flat Pads and they are identical to the Flat Pads Todd currently sells. The puckering by the cuts are the only difference I can see and that doesn’t effect the pad but rather a cosmetic curiosity.

Don’t forget to wash the pads regularly for proper hygiene.
