I know the PS1000 probably can do more genre's of music than the RS1(i); but can it also out rock the RS1(i)?  

If you get the PS1000, is it worth keeping the RS1i? Will putting the bowls/L-cushion on the PS1000 give you the RS1 sound and better?    thank you

I'm looking for a new set of headphones because I want to try and have something "different".   Right now I own a Grado SR325is (which I really like because they are so energetic and colorful ), and a Stax Lambda Nova Basic ( I like these too because they are "spacious" sounding and have...

I currently have a set of Denon AH-D7000 with MarkL mod, and a Stax SRS-2050mkII (for getting my feet wet with electrostats). I love the Denon's for classical, jazz and anything that's slow ,sparse and dynamic. Rock and metal are a different story. I feel like the Denon's just can't reproduce...

I briefly heard the ps1000 and had the gs1000 for a while and have the rs1i. I don't care that the ps1000 has more bass and it's obvious that it will have more soundstage due to the larger pads.  But does it have that much more detail. I know because of the jumbo pads, the details in the...

I really don't know which one to buy since there arent any pro-audio store or something like that near my place. so any reviews or recommendations? i listen to rock, r&b, pop a lot. and some classical music also.   oh, btw, how does these two sound like compare to JH5 PRO? I have the...

trying to get back into the hi fi world again after some bad luck   looking for small open back, leaning toward grado 325i even though i wasnt very fond of my 225i.  My problem is the cord, its dumb and i would hope for a used 325i recable with a thiner shorter cord.  Something I can freely...

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...

I am currently looking for a cheap dac+amp combo for my Grado Rs1i. I have read alot about Ibasso dac and amp and find alot of possitive feedback with Ibasso. It will be my temp dac/amp combo to save up some money to get some better gear.   But i am just wondering, does the Ibasso D4...

I recently bought the Grado Rs1i and i am just looking for an DAC + AMP combo for it. My max budget is around 500$. It will just be a temporarily setup till i get the money to get the mad ear. I was thinking about getting the ibasso d4 or the pico. Anyone have a good sugestion? it doesn't have...

Hey all,   I greatly enjoy my HD600's out of my Schiit Asgard amp. It sounds wonderfully smooth and non fatiguing. But for some music, they are just too laid back and i miss that great sparkle and forwardness that i get from my MS1i's. Now, I'm looking for a higher end Grado to replace my...

From the perspective of pure musical enjoyment, of all the gear I have had, it goes to Grado RS1i.   HD800 with Woo Audio 6(upgraded): loved the soundstage and detail. AH-D7000 with Corda Symphony: great bass impact and speaker like presentation JH13pro with Pico Dac/Amp: great for...

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...

I've been doing a lot of searching in the archives, without getting a 100% fixed answer. For the last 2 months, I've been searching for an amp that does an equally good job of driving both Grados and D7000. There's no fixed answer. People say tubes are better for Grados, while some say SS is the...

Very few will remember me, and the query I'd asked about the Grado RS1i, here's the thread to jog your memory: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/511220/rs1i-slightly-bass-deficient-65-hours   I've just crossed the 100 hour mark, and I must say, I already notice a marked difference. What is...

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto. Bay Bloor Radio is a store focusing on Hi-Fi systems, and Home Theatre components. They sell Speaker Systems, Home Theatre Systems, (3D)HDTVs, and other components.   The link to their site is...

looking for the perfect match amp for the Grado RS1i. i know that there are $5000 amps but what i mean by "best" and "perfect" is an amp that goes with the RS1i like bacon and eggs.

I've seen comparisons between the pre i versions but would like to know if anyone has compared them since they switched to the i's?

There's been some talk of poor Grado build quality lately, and after receiving my rs1i a few days ago I want to comment that the build quality is really top notch. The precision woodwork and excellent wood quality is the most striking feature. But everything about them speaks to very high...

Hey guys, just looking for some guidance. First off. My tastes in music are (in order of importance) Indie/Rock/Ambient/Post-Rock/Folk/Acoustic/Metal and a little Drum N' Bass.   I am looking at these two options:   Foobar 2000 [FLAC] >  Audio-GD Fun (Amp + DAC) > Grado RS1i Price...

my setup is:   Headphone: Grado RS1i   Dac: Audio gd Reference 5 (using usb)   Amp: Audio gd Roc (connected with ACSS)       and my question is that my RS1i has an impedence of 32 ohms and my roc only supports 25/62/100/300/600ohms. is this distorting the sound in any way...

I am looking into a portable amp which i use with the D7000 and Rs1i when i am away from home.   I will be using my Fuze>> LOD>> AMP >> D7000 or RS1i   any opinion?   will it be able to bring these two headphones decent? or should i wait for D12? or get a D4 from ibasso?

I'm talking artists like Stars of the Lid, Hammock, Eluvium, Jesus in Japan, Steve Roach, etc. Even if you aren't familiar with these artists, the ambient umbra is usually characterized by an immense...MASSIVE soundstage. For a few months I was considering upgrading to the RS1i, but they...

Anyone had a chance to compare the old version with the new. There's gotta be some Grado fans out there that are dying to know if they sound any different!

So I've been delaying this, but I think it might be time to succumb to the world of tubes I've become resigned to the fact that one amp/headphone isn't going to be perfect for all situations and I recently returned my Beyerdynamic T1 and got a pair of Denon D7000 and Grado RS1i instead. So I...
