Sure that would be appreciated. I guess I would then need to know how the GS1000e and GS1000i compare to extrapolate from there. :)- sling5s

There is a thread dedicated to the classification of Grado RS. According to the thread: It has button, but round rod and rubber tip so it’s the classic version. Vintage has button and also square rods and metal tip.- sling5s

I think it's more with the "wooden cups". I have the sr80e and they don't sound dampened like the rs2e. In many ways the 80e (with L-Cush) sound like an unrefined version of the rs1i which is why I like them. Those of you who have modded their fostex t50rp, know what I'm talking about. It was...- sling5s

One thing I have thought about "e" and "x" reference series the dampening of the cup and driver. When you have two channel speaker system in room with no carpet or rug, the music can reverb/resonate/echo and get out of control. You need something to dampen the room. However when you have too...- sling5s

I'm saying the obvious but the RS1X has more detail, open soundstage and treble. Moreover because of the L-Cush giving it that more openness and treble, the RS1X doesn't have slight congested mids that the Hemp suffers from. There's however something about the Flat Pads that is appealing though...- sling5s

Ok. Very, rough, general initial impressions. I burned them in for 4 hours and listened to all my favorite tracks through Hugo 2. It's very resolving, smooth, clean and detailed. It's got more treble than the RS1e. I heard the cymbals in AC/DC Back in Black and I thought, yes! the treble is...- sling5s

I have a new pair of Grado RS1X. Purchase just to demo. Let it play for 4 hours and demoed few songs. It's very transparent, resolving, detailed. But it does have slightly less forward upper mid and treble than other grades. That was enough for me to conclude that while it's going to be perfect...- sling5s

I guess not that old. Not so much the Jospeh Grado sound signature but the early John Grado "classic buttoned" versions and "i" series sound signature. For example, there are and will be those here who prefer the "i and e" (except rs1e which kind of a poor precursor and Hemp a more successful...- sling5s

It’s almost like Grado started to finally pay attention to all the aftermarket cups (DIY) and drivers and learn from it. I imagine at some point, those who make and sell aftermarket drivers will offer the more older traditional Grado sound signature of the past for those who liked and want more...- sling5s

So many people preferred the RS2e over the RS1e (myself including); hearing you say you liked the RS1X better gives me hope that the world will be made right again. Exaggerating of course. :)- sling5s

Do the RS1X and RS2X sound similar at all? I know in the past before “e” series they had a similar sound, the RS2 always being more aggressive of the two.- sling5s

Same woods but Hemps have the F pads and RS2X the L Cush so they could sound similar but different. Should be interesting.- sling5s

Prestige X series might be a side step rather than an upgrade for some. Don’t know about RS2 but for RS1 the X sounds like a definite upgrade from e.- sling5s

Yeah, the new RSX seems more like a limited edition. More and more everything seems to be a departure from the old “this is the way we have always done it” to new creative experiments—“what if we did it this way”.- sling5s

Thanks ESL-1 for taking the time in your busy schedule to feed our curiosity. I'm hearing you say that the upper mids on the rs1x is slightly pulled back compared to the more forward rs1e while the treble on the rs1x is more present than the rs1e. Both sound like a good thing so far. I'm...- sling5s

So far we have had two people with two reactions (more than impressions). But what I gather is that it's positive. Definitely feel relieved and hopeful. Also definitely not the reactions everyone had when the RS1e was first released-- which was utter confusion. What happened to the treble...- sling5s

Could you elaborate on RS1X being "nice improvement over the RS1e". How is the treble of the RS1x compare to RS1e or RS2e or any other RS1?- sling5s

I know I'll never be satisfied until I hear the RS1X myself so I caved in and ordered from 4ourears. As far as "on ear" Grado's are concerned: I have the RS1i, SR80e, and owned RS1 (vintage and classic versions), RS1e, RS2e, 325e, GH1, and had the Hemp for a short while so I'm crossing my fingers.- sling5s
