Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, though: Great thread!

funny you mention that, those two are going to head to head tonight and tomorrow with the GS1 stock and the RS-1, and the HD-580 w/blue dragon...
should be interesting..:rs1smile: :580smile: :gs1000smile:

You hear that hush going over the crowd right about now?

I'll be very interested to see how all that comes out.

Black Dragon is a copper cable right? I was under the impression Grado already used 18 (or 24) AWG high purity copper in their cables.

The cable uses a 4 99.999% pure Copper 21.5 AWG Teflon insulated stranded Litz conductors.

But just like speaker wire I suppose, in theory, larger wider gage, more sound to travel through the pipelines..and more info to feed those hungry large drivers :veryevil:

Resolution is greatly improved with better and consistent current in headphones, and everyone whom has heard the GS 1000s may have ran into this upon mating the cans with different sources and various amps.

Since electricity flow is measured in amperes of current, the size of the cable is an important consideration with these larger phones maybe??

As, the farther the current (electricity) has to travel, or the smaller the diameter of the wire, the greater the voltage drop.

Sounds good, glad you're enjoying them

I'd like to hear a pair someday (recabled or not)

^ Hey if you have relatives near Phoenix, or come to Arizona for one reason or the other, you are more than welcome to come have a listen to my pair - no worries.

I am going to finish off the showdown tonight..a loved one passed on last night and was a hard evening to say the least to get through, so will be concentrating more this evening on the comparitive showdown bewtween the various cans mentioned in my prior post.

Looking forward to replying back with more impressions..

have you compared it to omega 2?

Thanks for the impressions!!

Rob, go get yours recabled, or buy a recabled pair so that I can hear them :gs1000smile:
