Same here!

My Hemps sound excellent out of my little dot 1+ with a Burson classic v6 opamp and upgraded tubes but that amp is really susceptible to EMI and ground loop issues, I get random crackle and pops and there's a constant static that reduces if I put my hands over the tubes(noticeable when music...

I was able to audition a pair of rs2e's from a friend and my impressions are remarkably similar to yours, I too prefer the Hemps but they are really close and it's up to individual preference at this point which one would prefer :gs1000smile:. I know this was mentioned before but it's a...

Thank you! I'll try to find a pair! Edit: found a nos matched pair an ebay, can't wait to get them!

So I got the LD1+, installed the burson v6 classic opamp and the mullard m8100 tubes, and it sounds pretty decent but I find it fatiguing with my Grado hemp, I was hoping for a smoother more relaxed sound. I even find the stock tubes better in this regard. What is a nice warm bassy tube that...

I plan to use it with my Grado Hemps and a modi 3 dac. I'm leaning towards the v6 classics but I'm worried if it would...

Waiting on grado to make a GS500 version of the hemp lol, that would be something grand

Awesome! Glad to hear you're loving them! Now I need to find one to demo 😄

That's a gorgeous pair of headphones!! How do you find the rs1e? I've heard mixed things about them

This! I had excruciating pain in the beginning with the Hemps after 10 mins of wearing them, but after stretching the headband I can wear it for hours.

Those Akgs do classical really really well imho, I keep a pair of Q701's just for classical (not a fan of them for anything else unless I eq them or do the bassport mod). The only Grado I've heard that could come close was the GS3000e, I actually felt like it's a q701 merged with a Grado, very...

The hd6xx is godly for movies! I regret selling mine
