Thanks! I went with the silver serpent anniversary cable.

I have been doing A/B tests between the "chrome" 325is and the new pair....I would say that the new 325is may be slightly warmer than the chrome model. I find that my older "chrome" 325is can get a little fatiguing after 2-3 hours of constant listening. I am not getting that on my new pair....As...

Can someone recommend a good Digital Coax cable for my DAC that is under $100.00? This cable will be going from my MF V-Link to my MF V-DAC. Right now I am having a problem with my optical cable and want to change it to a coax.  

They seem to weigh a little bit more than the older "chrome" 325is, however I don't have a scale to weigh them both at the moment. Still burning in and sounding great!

I have them burning in on my computer system...V-Link + V-DAC + V-CAN>>Pangea power supply. Pangea USB cable from PC to V-Link, Audioquest optical cable from V-Link to V-DAC and Chord crimson red RCA to V-CAN. I would say these seem to be a little tamer in the treble department out of the...

Yea....I agree. Now I have to find a way for my wife to take my old 325's so I can keep these for myself. I think Grado took heed and listened to the complaints about the "old new finish" .

I just purchased a new set of Grado 325is can's for my wife (I already have a set for myself) from Crutchfield. They have dumped the "new" silver chrome look and have gone to a powder coat type finish. I like the new finish much better than the pair I bought for myself last year that had the...

Is it just me? I still prefer the separate components V-Link>>>V-Dac over the combined unit......And I also still prefer the old black style box over the silver.

Audioengine A5's and Sub will run around $675.00 but you won't need an amp. If you have an amp or receiver then a good setup is the Cambridge Audio S30 monitors with the S90 sub ($219.00 for the speakers and $299.00 for the sub). Myself, I would go with the Cambridge setup.

I am thinking about getting the V-Dac or V-DacMK2 to go with my V-CAN amp and computer rig. My question and concerns are: If I get the V-DACMK2 the asynchronous USB samples at 24/96. But if I go with the older V-DAC and the V-link then my end result will be 24/192? I say this because the...

I have a Saxon CD700 (talk electronics) with a Sony CDM-14 transport and KSS-213B laser unit. The gear that guides the laser unit has broken some teethe (see pic). I need to replace this part but cant for the life of me find any dealers who may have parts. I contacted talk electronics by email...

Thanks for the information...... I just ordered 3pairs of T-400's from Amazon.

Does anyone have any info where I can obtain some custom foam pads or an alternative silicone insert for the hi-fi man RE-Zero's? I like the headphones allot but the supplied cups don't suit my ears. Thanks

Quote: Good idea.... I will do that now.

UPDATE:   I received my new RS1i's today via FedEx and they are absolutely perfect! Now I shall spend the next three days listening to them. Mr. Chen came through as promised and I will have to say that if anyone has an issue with Grado in the future that they should contact him...

  UPDATE: Mr. Chen from Grago Labs contacted Audio Advisor (my place of purchase).  This morning I received a phone call from Audio Advisor stating that they are shipping me a new pair of RS1i's even before I have sent them in my defective pair.....WOW(and they are sending me a return label)...

I have been in contact with Mr. Chen from Grado via phone and I will keep you guy's updated and informed in respect to resolution. Mr. Chen came across as sincere in wanting to make this right. I hope he can restore my faith in Grado.   Kevin K

  Quote:  I know that I could and should have sent them back to the original place of purchase. But after I emailed Grado and they saw the picture and agreed with me and told me to send them in, I felt committed to that. I just did not see this coming...A company that deals in high-end...

It is very disheartening to think that If I need service from Grado in the future that it does not exist. So I guess I will be putting these headphones up for sale on eBay, of course disclosing the wood defect and probably taking a $200.00 hit as well. This company has now lost a customer and...

I think you guys are missing the point......I am not mad about the flaw. Any company can make a mistake. What bothers me is the way Grado treated me and will most likely treat others the same. This is a $700.00 product I bought and they treated me like I was complaining about $6.00 ice scraper...

      Quote:   30 days to send them back to the dealer.

Right now after this incident I don't really know what to do. My 30 day return with Audio Advisor is now up since Grado had them for 3 weeks. I guess I got screwed..... I have never had a bad customer service experience with a High-end audio company like I have had with Grado.

  UPDATE:   I received my new RS1i's today via FedEx and they are absolutely perfect! Now I shall spend the next three days listening to them. Mr. Chen came through as promised and I will have to say that if anyone has an issue with Grado in the future that they should contact him...

UPDATE: Grado has sent an email to me requesting me to send them back. I consider this a good sign....
