The HP-1000 were built for monitoring , so their sound is much less colored than other Grados. The HP1k, tell it like it is. With good recordings, they sound amazing, however, they won't make chicken soup, out of chicken poop.

Imma remember this phrase for life!

The hp-1000 is a fascinating object and of course has a beautiful sound
I had one in the same period with ps-1000, hf-2 and magnum v5. I don't know the new symphones drivers, i think that magnum is near of hp-1000 philosophy but not equal.
The modern grados another style.
So good one hp-1000 in the hands....

I have been pondering for a Magnum v6 for months... But with the MS2e coming next week, I'd just wait to see how it performs.

  you might wanna try the tape mod. super easy, cheap and reversible mod to try.  Just take some scotch tape and tape it around your earpads like so:

Changing earpads is one of the most effective (and cheapest) ways of changing up the sound a bit to your Grados. And just so you know, they will all fit on your rs2e. Congrats by the way, nice cans!

 
Very cool! I gave it a try, and it made a notable difference, almost exactly where I wanted it. The tape wasn't sticking very well, however. I'll have to look into more permanent solutions--one individual suggested duct-tape over the scotch.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, wormsdriver! You may have saved me $20.

You'll most probably enjoy TTVJ Flat pads as well…they will definitely tame the highs and bring out the bass. You sound like a prime candidate for them.

I use electrical tape.  Perfect thickness, sticks very well and blends in pretty good since it is black.

i agree with you.
tried all different pads but, for me, grado is flat pads(excluding ps/gs)

I would also exclude the GH-1.

You're welcome, glad it made a noticeable difference.

It pays off to have a few different pads around especially for Grado fans with several different Grado cans.

Another good alternative is washing the pads with fabric softener, but I wouldn't do it unless you have an extra pair laying around since that pads will stay this way and not go back to their original form. Washing the pads gets your ear a bit closer to the speaker so it changes the sound a bit and it also smells great!
