Quick question. This is going to require a true blue GS1000 fan to answer. How much has the sound of the GS changed through the various revisions IE: "i" and now "e" and the original with no letter after it. Point being, if I were to get an original GS1000 how much would I be loosing vs buying...

I listen to my T1's more than my HD800's. Both headphones are very sensitive to the amp you use with them, the T1 maybe even more so than the HD800. You really need a good tube amp for the T1. Now to make it clear I have the original version of the T1 not the newer one that is being sold now. As...

I am one of the lucky ones I guess, I have had my LCD2's for over a year and listen to them every day pretty much and they still sound as good as the first day I got them. They replaced some Sen 650's (which I still have) and the first thing I thought was, "Man these sound just like my...

I think the problem I see more than anything is people who mistake bass quantity for bass quality. Grado's give you quality in exchange for a little less quantity. I'll take quality every time over quantity. If all you are after is bass quantity there are dozens of $50 headphones that will give...

Good choice, perfect amp for the 700.

Plays a classical guitar, somewhat unusual for a jazz guitarist.

My favorite classical singer!!

I finally got my new computer and am back "on the air" again. My new computer actually sounds much better than the old one, not sure why but I am sure enjoying it.       and last but not least...  

One of the finest voices I have ever heard.  

Good original Blues.

I do not have that specific MB but I just bought a new computer that has an ASRock Motherboard and I have to say, and I am not sure why, but the audio I am getting seems to be much cleaner than on my old system. A very significant improvement. Now after reading this post I am seriously...

What do I need to get a good basic computer audio system. I already have a good dac and headphone amp. I also downloaded Foobar2000 and have that installed. Is that all I need in terms of software? 

It is all about the bass isn't it really.

My old computer died and took all my music files with it so I am basically having to start over. I am going to be getting some type of low price win10 pc to store and stream the audio, then either via usb to a dac and then headphone amp or perhaps get an integrated dac/amp setup. One change I...

Audio components can fail at any time, even expensive ones. What yours sounds like is a 'classic' power supply failure most likely a capacitor. Point being, like it or not you are in the market for a new dac or dac/amp. If you have some known good units you can isolate it to the dac or amp...

I avoided this problem by buying both the LCD2 and HD800. Glad I did as they are very different headphones yet they compliment one another at the same time.

If I wanted neutral I wouldn't come to Grado. I like them specifically because they are not neutral. Most of what I listen to is heavy on the guitars and guitar amps are decidedly not neutral. So it takes a headphone like Grado to really do the kind of music I like justice. As I think about it...

I am looking to upgrade my rig a bit. If anybody see's a pair of RS2e's for sale at a fair price could you drop me a PM. Thanks

This could go in either the Blues or Jazz or even female vocalist forums, bottom line is some of the very best singing you are likely to hear.  

Wow, that all sure looks familiar.<g>

I need to get that album. Of all the Kings he is the one I have the least of and that has got to change.

I am about to try and get into the portable DAP and I was looking at some of the new Sony's, but more to the point at this time what would be a good choice. I am looking to spend around 300-350 and I need something that can play flac files and DSD would be nice but if it didn't it wouldn't be a...

Where did you find that original Sonny Boy recording. That is priceless. I love hearing as much of the original stuff as possible as once the rockers get a hold of it they mess it up something awful in most cases, Eric Clapton being one of the rare exceptions, and there are a few others that...
