I recently purchased a used pair of Grado RS1i headphones. They sound great, but what really surprised me is how good some of old CDs now sound. Most of these CDs I really haven't listened to much over the past few years since they have sounded terrible on my IEMs (Shure Se535), other headphones, and home theater speakers (Bose 601, Marantz Imperial 7). These CDs are mostly rock (e.g., Allman bros, Little Feat, early Genesis). I've been upgrading my CD collection as remasters come out (e.g., Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones), but now I'm not so sure that is necessary.
Any technical reasons or thoughts on this topic (I'm perplexed). Has anyone else also experienced this?
