Topping L30 - The new budget benchmark?
That would be me. Just to clarify, its the amp that I could smell. Once I realised it had an issue I disconnected and removed from the rack. Then sniffed it- definite acrid component burn smell- but no fireworks or smoke the night before. But the godawful crackle/ bangs on inserting the...- jimbob54

AUDEZE LCD XC
I have a couple of the grado extension leads couple of meters long, robust. Reckon you can pick them up for not a lot. Interestingly, think audeze use same company as grado for there 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapters- jimbob54

AUDEZE LCD XC
Single ended or balanced? Personally I'd get an extension, bought or custom made from eBay. Get a couple of feet longer than you need for the XC and it should do for any other new 'phone purchases in the future.- jimbob54

AUDEZE LCD XC
Never really any danger of putting a pair of LCD on back to front of course. But my 2nd hand pair didn't have a balanced cable included so I got mavismodz on ebay to make me up that one.- jimbob54

AUDEZE LCD XC
Well, I have the XCs (believe 2016) and recently got a pair of 2Cs. Curiosity got the better of me and I swapped the wood cups with the 2C grilles. Whether I now have a LCD X and a 2C closed or 2 completely different beasts I cant say but both sound very enjoyable post swap.- jimbob54

@jaywillin Just had a moment of insanity and pushed the button on some GS1000i from amazon in a warehouse deal (UK)- half RRP but slight scratches to wood. Am I going to love them- 325i at present.- jimbob54

Guys and Gals, Amazon uk have a warehouse deal (ex stock I suppose) on a set of GS1000i for £800. Other decent non grado items there too. £300 too much for my budget sadly. http://www.grado.co.uk/grado-earphones/GS1000i-headset.htm?gclid=CLSc3ei32LsCFakfwwod0hMAeA- jimbob54

At the risk of showing ignorance, why not Cush down? Isn't that essentially same when using a stand?- jimbob54

Agree totally regarding 325. Good source, recording and amp and they shine. Don't do much straight out of PMPs. Mine never harsh if in the right set up andin which case, I much prefer them with the G cush to L cush.- jimbob54

Jay , jay, been toying with the idea of some Senn 600 or 650. Would appreciate a grado head perspective on both/either, particularly which of the 2 you would consider getting? Ta.- jimbob54

Not to in any way criticise anybodies craft, but a lesson I learned with all things electronic is, if not right at first, send it back. Continual tinkering/parts replacement will only lead to added stress and doubt.- jimbob54
