Grado e Series
I had the chance to listen to the PS500 in Madison a few months ago and was impressed. I thought surely the higher up in the line I go the better they must be. I scheduled a meeting at another (closer) store to listen to most of the new e-series line, up to the GS-1000e. Nothing wowed me. The...- Rubrmn

Grado e Series
I have not listened to the PS1K, only the GS1K and it was though a CD player that only had some lame solo vocal performance loaded. I am going back this weekend with the adapter I need to listen right out of my own portable equipment. IF I have to spend $1700 I would more likely buy the...- Rubrmn

Grado e Series
It's really hard to describe. I guess I liked the PS-500i I listened too ( I liked the price too! ). I heard things in the music that I have never heard before - that's one of my goals. The other goal is to pick up the lower octave that I have missed in my home 2-channel system. I was hoping...- Rubrmn

Someone with more experience than I said something the other day that may explain my headphone confusion. I would like some confirmation, please respond if you can substantiate or refute my realization. I had the opportunity to listen to most of the Grado "e" line a week ago. The GS1K was...- Rubrmn

How do the Grados sound on the Schiit stuff? I am strongly considering GS1K's and there is great value in the Schiit brand.- Rubrmn

Grado e Series
I finally found a store within driving distance that has the whole Grado line-up in stock. I plan a listening session this weekend - then I can make a decision for myself. Thank you guys so much for your help. I wish we could all get together and discuss this over a beer!- Rubrmn

JH-13 pro:Just Feeling it. Epilogue...
LeeMark, Can you describe the difference in SQ between the stock cords and your upgrade? Are JH-13's even listenable through a stock iPod Lossless files? I currently have Westone UM-2's (shopping for amp / considering new IEM's instead). Thanks.- Rubrmn

GR9 iPod Transport???
It appears as though, if I am interested in purchasing my first portable headphone amp (and an Rx is at the top of my list) I should go ahead with that purchase because whatever GR9 creates will be fully compatible with the Rx. Is there any reason why I should wait an entirety (or six-ish...- Rubrmn

Westone 2
I have had teh UM-2's for a number of years now. I find there response very accurate as, well. (could use a little more low frequency impact, but what is there is tight and un-colored). I am new here. I have spent weeks trying to find some direction to an mid-level portable amp. What amp...- Rubrmn
