Ry Cooder - Chávez Ravine - 3 Cool Cats

I wonder what the USB DAC is?

Henry Cow - Unrest - Deluge

Acid Jazz Grooves Disc 2 - James Taylor Quartet Featuring Alison Limerick - Love Will Keep Us Together

I have never heard the SR60x (nor the SR80x). A few months ago I bought a pair of SR325x cans on a whim, just to check out what these Grados are like. Well I was really stunned by how good the SR325x cans were. I think if you buy them from an online retailer with a no-questions-asked returns...

I'm delighted not to be the newest member of the club anymore. I think it does take the Grados a bit of time to settle down when you buy them new.

I haven't gone completely insane, honest. Well at least I keep telling myself that! Anyway the pic is of something I've put together to assist with the burning in of the Grado GS3000x cans (did I mention I'd bought a pair?). I had this old Roberts radio in my attic. I hadn't used it for a lot...

I always work from home and I find that managing a similar, but not as golden, distraction is rather difficult :gs1000smile:

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters - Vein Melter

Debussy Orchestral Works - Images - Gigues

Not for a long long time actually. I just had a look to see if I have a CD for it but I don't, so I will get it at Discogs pretty soon and immerse myself in it again. I actually have the following Santana albums on CD: 1969 Santana 1970 Abraxas 1971 Santana (III) 1972 Caravanserai...

I rarely listen to rock guitar music these days although I did listen to a lot in the 70s. There is only one big name in the rock guitar world that I listen to occasionally today and this is the wonderful Carlos Santana. This In Search Of Mona Lisa EP was released in 2019 and really sounds...

Kronos Quartet - Caravan - Responso (Anibal Troilo)

I love my Grado SR235x cans with electronic music, although what is meant by "electronic music" can be very different depending on each individual. However the SR325x have this incredible rhythmic quality and they also capture the excitement of electronic sounds whooshing around, or whatever...

The big hole in the right body of my GS3000x has a bevel whereas the left does not. Are your holes (on your Grados!) bevelled or not? Are both of them bevelled or does anyone have a pair with just one side bevelled like mine? Right hole: Left hole:

Track 4: Ma mère l'Oye - III. Laideronnette, Impératrice des Pagodes

It is beautiful. I love simple systems actually. The goldie SR325 cans match the knob on the headphone amp *and* the knob on what I guess is a valve pre-amp.

Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love - Careless Love

In fact I totally get ESL-1's comments on this, as a reminder to anyone that hasn't been following this discussion ESL-1 found it took quite a long time for the GS3000x to be performing well. Right now I'm just wowed by the timbre with the GS3000x. In fact I don't buy new audio things very...

I haven't done that because, in truth, I'm a bit lazy about things like that. The Meridian sits on my desk and is about 60 cm from the Soul, so I'd need to move the Meridian for something like that and I'm not energised to do so. The DAC within the Meridian Prime is not spectacular, the Prime is...

It might be that my eventual experience will be the same as yours. I don't know what they'll sound like in say, a couple of months, could be even better. Right out of the box the treble had a tendency to sound a bit "reedy" and there were a few other things like that but within a few hours of...

In fact I don't plan on upgrading the cable for quite some time. This is because I'm totally loving the overall sound of the system and I kind of don't want to touch it at all. Right now there is a cheapish 75 ohm Atlas coaxial cable there. I think that as the cable is only, 0.75 m, then coaxial...

I haven't heard "Comin' Through" in years and now you have reminded me of it I'm going to Discogs to get me a copy :gs1000smile:

FSOL - Lifeforms - Dead Skin Cells

I've had the GS3000x cans for 48 hours now and it has been a fascinating and enjoyable time! They are beginning to break in now and sound really quite fabulous. I work from home and what I'm doing is have a CD on my Teac VRDS 701T on repeat playing through them during the day, then in the...
