The GS1000 has a different sound signature than the others you mention. You'll have to decide for yourself if that is a good thing.

I still want embedded album art.

I don't understand how hard it is to tell us what gear you have. What soundcard are you using? What amplifier are you using? What headphones are you using?

So are you asking us how good YOUR system sounds? Why don't you determine that yourself?

It's a simple thing. If you suspect you will have issues with the fit and finish, by all means, spend your money elsewhere.

I'm very willing to bet that changing the output caps would be a pretty major upgrade.

I really enjoy Born like this, but I totally agree about the production. Piss poor. I also can't stand that idiot who makes all those comments. "Muerderizing sucker MS's!!!" Jeez it grates on me.

I'd want to hear them. They look just like the ESW9 with some lacquer.

I think you need to do a bit more reading on balanced operation. Are you sure you mean balanced, as in 4 channels? Do you have the standard plug on your Grados, or have you recabled/reterminated them with an XLR? RCA's are not used for balanced operation.
