    GS1000 and DT990

    Anyone heard both? I like GS1000 when listening at low volume, does DT990 sound similar to GS1000?

    SR-404 LE or high-end Grado?

    I am deciding between two combination Lynx ONE -> T1 -> SR-404 LE or MS-Pro Ulti (or GS1000i, PS1000 will consider) with my current source ESI Juli@ as transport for quality dac and solid state amp which will be modified on Grado character, so I expect mellower fuller richer tones and tipically...

    Grado GS-1000i vs. Audez'e LCD-2? Or something else entirely?

    So I'm looking at headphones under $1000 right now. I currently own a pair of AKG K240s and a pair of K271s, but find that they are both a little cold and recessed for my tastes. The 271s are good for classical and the like, but not much else, and the K240s have a just adequate bass response...

    High impedance vs low impedance

    Hi guys, Okay, I'm somewhat confused on how impedance works in a pair of headphones. How does impedance help the sound quality for a pair of headphones? For example, a HD650 with its 600 ohm impedance takes a lot of voltage to drive, and thus we need to crank up the volume control knob on our...

    What's the Best?

    imagine: you've just received the Grado GS-1000 and you still have 800 dollars. What Headphone amp and what DAC do you buy?

    Headphone/DAC in one

    So is there a particular brand that Grados (specifically high level {GS 1000s} ) sound best on? I've heard that Grado headphone amps suck.

    HD650 tires my ears out?! WHY?!

    Hi all   I'm currently using the Pico amp/dac as DAC to feed my Gilmore lite.   I listen with my HD650 basically all the time.   But every time I listen to music, I feel my ears (not earlobes, but ear internal/ear drums) are sore after awhile, not even an hour even.    Why is...

    What I think... GS1000 vs RS1 vs RS2... and vs SR80.

    Yup, I've been listening to a lot of Grados... I've finally acquired all the Grados that I wanted to hear, listened to them, and compared them side by side. Now I'm writing about them as I wanted to give something back to the head-fi community. Hope someone found this useful. RS2, GS1000...

    Grado RS1i +EQ+Jumbo Pads=Grado GS1000/PS1000

    I have had the GS1000 and only briefly auditioned the PS1000 but I wanted to see if I could get the sound out of the RS1i with proper EQ and Jumbo pads.   With Grado RS1i and my vintage receiver: if I turn up the bass and midrange two notches and lower the treble by two notches, I get what...

    Hey guys, I have had my pair of semi-vintage Grado RS-1's that I bought used and told they are from 03 so they are not far after the vintage series for about 11 months now. Im thinking up upgrading to the GS1000 as I can sell these for about 500 and pick up GS1000 for about 600. I am using a CTH...

    Left Grado driver squeaking?

    So my left driver started to squeak a little when playing. Its kind of hard to explain the sound exactly. Possible fix or reason? Also on that note, I found they're lacking bass and have a lot of treble/highs. What EQ setting should I be using?

    Which is the least forward Grado headphone?

    My current headphone inventory consists of a pair of 701 and HD600 (with a cable upgrade). These cover all areas genres for me, but I was considering adding another pair as more of a specialty can to further compliment what I have already. I've tried the plain Grado 325 and RS-1 years ago, but...
