Well there you go! My recollections of my youth, at least this one, are completely wrong. Thanks for clarifying! LOL

I'm not familiar with Matthew's to be honest. I would listen to certain S.F. Radio stations in the 70's from the San Fernando Valley in So Cal. A frequent ad I heard then was from Tower Records, Open tonight and every night of the week till midnight! Top of the hill Daley City. That being...

Just to chime in, Qobuz frequently offers me a choice of recording versions. Original, Hi-Rez, Remastered. I find it a great learning experience to listen to the same album cut back-to-back. About 50% of the time the original recording sounds better than the remastered. It's nice to have...

Top of the Hill in Daley City!

Roon/Qobuz => Yggy+ GS2 => ZMF Aegis => Atrium (Open)

I got mine this morning. They weigh 614 grams

Yes, the cable on the 2000x is what I'm referencing. Agree with your impressions.

If you order a GS3000x today, the cable is a variation on the OG cable. Thinner, a bit more flexible, but still not my choice for a quality cable.

could be worse! LOL :beerchug:

My personal recommendation would be Gungnir A1 and Aegis. I'm a Schiithead. It takes one to know one :relaxed: I think you would be greatly be blown away with this combo (Remember, I know nothing about the sound you are looking for). Good luck!

Extend the headband to it's fullest. Then gently flex the metal part of the band outward on each side. Try it. Many here have had success with this technique

Yes! LOL.

Initial batch of 1,000 units should be the first of several. The later ones won't be the Signature Edition.

Just received mine as well! Looking forward to getting them before leaving on a vacation....

See ya!

I can't disagree with you and others, as you hear what you hear. Given that, I find that my RS1x and RS1e respond very nicely to an upgraded signal chain, DAC and Amp in particular. I've found substantial improvement in the Bass Dept. as my chain has improved over time. YMMV.

Will give it a listen with Brooklyn made headphones later today! Thanks for the tip.

The X series has a newer cable now, as compared to when they were released. I was having some stuff done by Grado to my 3000x and asked that they replace the original cable with the new cable. Still a Grado cable, but much better than the original IMHO.

I never had the e version, but I have to say that if you are a fan of the Grado sound, the 3000x are the best that they are offering today. At least in my opinion. Other than removable cables, I can't imagine them bringing out an improved version. Just my thoughts. Leo

Roon/Qobuz => Yggy+ GS2 => ZMF Aegis => GS3000x - A little funky before bed, so I put this on!
