That's cool. You've made some thoughtful decisions. I respect that and I can see how this would work for you.
BTW, I certainly don't know your wife but I'm pretty sure she thought you had gone nuts many moons ago.
Hey. I resemble that remark!

Hey. I resemble that remark!
Some thoughts on the (G's) with the RS1i's
I like the RS1i's with the (G), but after about 4hrs of listening I was getting pretty bored with them. They do sound good, don't get me wrong, but they just don't have that immediacy that it was makes me love the Grado sound. I definitely like the (L's) better, they keep me much more interested in whats going on with the music, they sound much more alive. But I'm glad I have the (G's) anyway incase I want to switch it up. I hope the GS1Ki's don't bore me, I'll find out soon, re-stock at Crutchfield is 2/21, and I'm pre-paid so they'll be here in a couple of days after.
BTW, I think the (L's) are more comfortable too.

Joseph, the G's are the same for me also with the RS1i.
I like them, for awhile.....just not for long periods.....eventually I hear a song as just say.....time to go back to the L-cushion

i'm sure most, if not all our wives ,s/o's think we're a little whacked out !
count me in too ! which i say have all the pads ! mix, match, variety is the spice of life !
Yeah after a while I was bored, so the (L's) went right back on for last nights session.
So you like the (L's) with the RS's?
You feel a bit bored after a while with this combo?
Is this pretty much going to be the way the GS1Ki is going to sound?

I don't think you will be bored with the GS1000....it seems to me they were designed with the G's in mind. When I listened to the GS1000 with the L's they were boring, very flat....The GS's are just a different animal, but I don't think you will be bored with them, once you give them some head time I think you will find them a highly resolving headphone that just sounds fantastic.
not "bored" per se, with the rs1i, i find that i like the flats, the L's, and the G's, depending on the music, and my mood, if i had to pick one, and not use the others, i'd be the L
as for the gs, i do prefer the G by far, after some initial "testing" no more switching, G all the way
The bryston has landed
Yes,this is what I/m hoping for, that the GS driver is specifically made for the (G) cushions, and are atonally different animal, like you said. I will give them plenty of head time and hope that I'm satisfied, thanks.
This is why I'm not disappointed with buying the (G) cushion, because they can be used depending on my listening mood/genre.Congratulations on the Bryston, let us know how you like it!
BTW, you've listened to plenty of headphone amps, after listening to the Bryston, I would like to know which one you prefer the most out of the amps you've tried, thanks.

Totally agree. Great balance of excitement, impact and fullness with good but not hyper detail. HD800 has more detail but with thinner images. I think the ideal setup is a pair of GS1000i and HD800s
and you can listen to your music twice with alternative perspectives, both equally valid. (GS1000i is the king of comfort for me, too, a great bonus-- very light and they don't even seem to touch my ear or pressure me at all.)
The GS is a keeper for good.

I really don't get the love for Warren Haynes....so stock, there is nothing original about anything he does.
but I digress, it still sounds great on Grados.
