    RS1i slightly bass deficient @ 65 hours?

    I haven't been spending much time on my cans, speakers seeing more use these days, but for the past two days I've been listening to the RS1i in office and have a query - is the bass on the RS1i less than the SR225? I've got approx. 65 hrs on the RS1i and am using them unamped on a Macbook Pro...

    Grado RS1i Impressions thread

    I owned a pair of 1996 RS1's until a couple of years ago. I was thrilled by them. I was not thrilled with the sound after 1 channel went out and Grado Labs replaced the drivers maybe 5 years back. There was a bit of brittleness in the highs that I never heard in my original drivers. Break-in did...

    New Grado Owner

    Hey all:   Been reading this forum for a few weeks, and only decided to join once I purchased/made a commitment.  I was on a very restricted budget, so I went with the SR-60i over the MS-1i.  Got to listen to a pair of SR's before making the purchase, and it just made me realize that silly...

    Help on a new amplifier purchase

      So I'm looking to get a new amplifier for about $300 to $500. I'm a fan of tubes and while I like clear playback I'm okay with a little extra warmth added to the music. However, tubes are definitely not a 'necessity' of the new amp. I'm thinking of the Grado RA1 WooAudio 3...

    Help on a new headphone purchase.

    So I'm looking to get a new set of headphones for about $500 to $700. Right now I'm leaning towards the Grado RS2i as it seems like it's not really worth the extra $$ for the RS1i. Thoughts? Other suggestions? I'm a fan of tubes and while I like crystal clear playback I'm okay with a little...

    Whats the difference between Grado RS-1 and RS1i

    I am a happy owner of RS-1i, and am wondering what is or are the main differences between this "newer" model and the older one. I am aware that there is a different cable used, but what about the internals like the driver, etc... All information is appreciated.

    What are the best Grado's?

    Grado Sr60i Grado Sr80i Grado Sr125 etc.   All in terms of price, comfort, durability, and whichever is worth the money for the best rock sound.
