Can anyone who attended Munich High End confirm what the deal was with the detachable cables?

As mentioned above, John Grado told me he took that photo himself. There is something in prototype state, not finalized and no timeframe. It won’t come with Cardas cables.

Your post was somewhat cryptic but thank you for elaborating.

Sorry, it was not intended to be. I just tried to not make it sound like bragging or a private product announcement :wink:

Nevertheless it was nice to exchange a few words with the guy behind all this. I guess I have to get a few more shares in that company.

Here's my new 3000xs, with gorgeous BA pads and headband. Silvian said very people choose colors like this, which I actually find somewhat depressing. Why would you just want more black pads, when you can have something more warm, vivid, yet not showy, which so complements the wood? It's actually a little deeper than it might seem, a lovely hunter green. The pad on the right in the photo on the stand is the most accurate representation.

Im looking to sell my Grados.

RS-1(buttoned)
RA-1(Battery Ver)
SR325 Gold

Non of them are coming with original box and I'm not sure how much would be the reasonable price for them.
I don't mind selling them separately or together.

Decided to try flats on my RS2e’s. Definitely a stronger bass response. I personally find the bass just as defined as with bowls. Also, I’m not hearing any change to the mids and the highs are definitely not less, just a little more round from the increased bass. Verdict is still out.
Grados need tube amps because of their sibilance highs. Any of the tube amps will accomplish that to varying degrees. The tube amplifier tends to emphasize the bass and mids and round off the highs. What amplifier are you using? The Schiit Vali can probably get you there at 100 usd.
