I owned a pair of 1996 RS1's until a couple of years ago. I was thrilled by them. I was not thrilled with the sound after 1 channel went out and Grado Labs replaced the drivers maybe 5 years back. There was a bit of brittleness in the highs that I never heard in my original drivers. Break-in did...

i bought a pair of senn hd25-1 ii's w/ orig cable on them and an hd650 cable along w/ them. the 650 cable stays connected to the cans better than the orig (so the orig may be damaged i guess). but the 650 sounds better anyway. I want to get an equinox cable for them as an improvement because I...

it all started when i plugged em in at work, which is where i wanna use em. i could hear a low rumble that i was not aware of before under any cans at my office. easy to id as it is the giant a/c duct about 20 ft up above me and 10 ft over. turns out somehow the 9's manage to filter higher...

heard a new cayin cdt17a and liked it a lot. did hear a bit of glare in the highs now and then, but it sounded like it was due to it having almost zero hours on it. anybody have any experience with this machine?

thanks for reading! a friend is on the road for work this week and has time on plane plus in hotel room. he owns grado sr60's(his first) and had porta pros. he had some old somehings to use traveling, but they bit the dust on the road. he just emailed for help on what to get. he is going to...

I could also add the cable to make the 4p a 4s if that would make the choice more obvious. any recommendations? looking to spend under $150 mnay thanks...

I will be using an RSA HR2 with this setup. any thoughts? I could really use some help here.

i use and enjoy e500's and ety er4S's at work, but there are many times when i have to get out from under too often for iem's. so; i tried an akg k271 but found it lacking in sq compared to the iem's and my k1000's and ps1's. so i tried sony cd3k's. vast improvement when comparing at home...

anybody know if the A900's have as huge a profile as my sony cd3000's? there are people at work with full sized phones, but the cd3k's stand out like a sore thumb. I am hoping the A900's are at least somewhat less humongous.

what more can i say? I am SO psyched. this will complete my quest to make my naim cd5 setup keep me happy and warm this winter. naim cd5 --> raptor --> ps1 i might be in heaven... start the tubes rolling!!!

couldn't resist the deal on a Raptor! so I went down to the crossroads and sold my hr2 and what was left of my soul (move over robert johnson). now please tell me I did a good thing!

only have a sec to post now but good grief! these are exactly what I was hoping they would be. killer thru hr2 from a naim cd5/highcap. killer from my berning ba150 tube pwr amp from a vpi aires/benz micro ruby 2h/pass labs xono/marantz model 7 preamp.w/teles. rs1 to the 20th power plus some...

any idea how well my rsa hr2 amp will drive my PS1's? thanks, Jimmy .oops.sorry if i shoulve posted this in amps

well???

I was going to post this reply to a comment made in another thread but did not as it seems off topic. Quote: Originally Posted by mrarroyo The GS1000 has a lot of bass and a lot of treble with no midrange, at least that was what I heard following over 300 hours of burn in. Good...

the following is from a 2 yr old post: " I found, that by using a 3.25" rubber o-ring gently(must not let it slip into the gap or it won't seal - must rest on both ridges of the gap) stretched to fill in the gap on the stock CD3000 to do exactly as you describe if I use subjective evaluation...

my melos sha-1 was very good with rs1's once it had bugle boys in it. with the stock sovtek tubes it sucked the life out of the music. made me wanna holler... then a friend made me run spkr cable from my marantz model 7 preamp/ berning ba150 (tube) amplimifigator to an adcom gfs-1 switch box...

I'm blown away at the sound coming from my k1k's. I thought I'd heard the pro-use pressing of abbey road as good as it could get with grado gs1000's. likewise the munch/heifetz bso beethoven vln concerto, classic records remaster and new living stereo sacd/16 bit dual disc (i'm hearing the...

in another thread i noted the following, which explains how I am usng the PTH to good advantage in what for me was an unexpected way. was wondering if anyone else uses them successfully for anything. "the pth is helping me to not have to remove the foamies nearly as often. I listen without...

my E500's are here and they look, feel and sound great!!! everything positive that everyone's already posted is true. I'm running them amped tonight but they'll go to work with me tomorrow and be run out of an iriver cdp, no amp. do they replace my k1000's or gs1000's? nope. but my ety's...

yup. got my official Grado GS1000 carton yesterday and it is everthing i'd ever wanted in a box from grado (exactly like the other Grado cartons w/foam). so far it has had no effect on the sound of my GS1000's, but once it's broken in...? and i have to try placing it in different positions near...

wanted to start a seperate thread to share impressions of the GS1000's as they present classical recordings - and if it expands to include all music that's fine too! but I really feel they deserve a thread in which the way they SOUND is focused on, without having to scroll past a zillion...

Moved from Todd's forum to here since it's of general interest -- Mod I got lucky today at 11:30 a.m. when a box was delivered from The Grado Labs. And I mean REALLY LUCKY, cause right outta the box these are the most incredible headphones I have ever heard! I put on a vinyl copy of ABBEY...
