MD username: orangecr I would like to see custom high end wooden Grado cans on MD, and/or magnum headphone builds. Thanks

Has anybody had the chance to compare a a magnum V5 built with the new SR325e?   I am planing to get a new 325e or a nice, cheap, used RS1i, but the idea of building another set of magnums has caught my attention lately. 

Oh come on! US only again. I'll pay for shipping and taxes, and I will release you from any responsibility if I win :(

I bought a pair of almost new SR325is about a month ago, mostly out of curiosity. The seller claimed the cans had only a couple of hours on them, and I have no reason to think otherwise. Sadly these are not the new e version.   I wanted to hear for myself what was the bright and the infamous...

Looking forward for impressions on the GS1000e. I see the rs1e, gs1ke and the ps1ke are the ones with more significant changes.

I'm on the fence about getting the LD1. I have an O2 and it sounds pretty good with the 325s, but I've read lots of good stuff about the synergy of the LD1 and Grados. I'd really like to try a little tube/hybrid sound. The only thing that's keeping me from ordering is the possible hassle of...

Interesting. And it's only 2.858 km from San José!

Thank you all for the comments on the RA-1. Grado fans opinions on the sound quality is more important than the specs or the parts used. You should organize a Grado fan club vacation in Costa Rica and bring all your headphones so I can audition them all. I'll take care of them while you are at...

Do Grado fans also like the RA1 amp? I've read a lot of criticism for the simplicity and the costs of the electronic parts used, but how about the sound and synergy? I was thinking it will be a good match for my current sr325is, and my future GS100i/RS1i without breaking the bank. Will I be...

Maybe there should be another thread: Gradoholics support group lol

Thanks; I know. I am really enjoying my SR325is at the moment. I am also trying to bring my girlfriend into the club by lending her the SR80i. This will make it easier to explain when I buy the next Grados (hopefully :)) I have to say I was a little worried about the 325's brightness that...

Your systems are awesome guys. I hope I can join your club soon. My current desktop set up (sadly no wa6 or rs1i/ps1000 for now): Fiio e07k (DAC only) -> jds labs O2 -> SR325is I have to say I didn't think it would get much better than the SR80i, but after purchasing a pair of the latest 325's...

I would have to be broke and starving before even consider selling an item that John Grado (or Scarlett Johansson) signed and packed personally for me... That's just me.

I remember that post on the Facebook page. I was so jealous. I would never sell anything a Grado gave me. Specially something so personal and rare. I mean; I have a pair of SR80i I won that was personally sent to me; nothing special, and something so simple I will treasure for long time. And I...

Good job. You have +1 follower!

:o Too late for the rs2i. Would have given them a try for that price. Back to the ms2i plan I guess :)

Agreed. In my case I had tried the l-cush in the past, and I figured the knock offs would be as good (after all it was just a piece of foam... or so I thought). If you have never tried the original it's easy to be disappointed at Grado and even keep you away from higher models.

I had the earzonk l-cush for my SR80i, and I didn't like them at all. I didn't like the sound, the confort and that freaking smell... The original l-cush are completely different, and they do make a difference IMO. Terrible timing for me. Good luck

Good luck. I think I am going the same way. Besides Grado dealers charge $50+ to ship to my country and Alessandro is around $15 "blushing"

That's interesting. Looking forward to your impressions :)

I don't want dark. I want Grado. I relly wish I could audition both.   If the MS2i still retains the Grado sound with a little less of the infamous SR325is treble, I think those are the way to go for me. Besides I will have some room for a $300 closed portable headphone.
