It’s a constant rumour since 2017. Grado provided a prototype or maybe a few samples. It’s something equal to an RS2e (44mm e-series driver, mahogany housing, 8 core cable,… open plastic gimbals) the housing appears to be slightly bigger with more rounded edges and has written Thelonious Monk on...

At least John Mayer and Kevin Augunas do. 😉

Great Job! Have you checked pin 2 - 4 if there‘s a short cut? There are rumors about being so with the new x-series cables. First time I heard this, I checked 1st ring to 3rd on the 4.4 plug I soldered to my RS2e. There is no connection. Maybe it‘s just a rumor, maybe it wasn’t with the e-series...

The PS1000e is the more refined headphone. The stage is wider, reflections are more airy, but it is still an intimate phone. You aren’t moved a single step more from the front of the stage. The bass is more defined, a touch faster so most audiophiles (which are satisfied with the Grado weighting...

Nope! It has a 6.3mm (TRS) Plug? This is a SR325is. Has the newer driver.

I just can tell what’s on my list of purchases in the nearer future or medium term plan: - Discman (Not kidding! Coaxial SPDIF out, mp3, gapless play, resume play, NOS mode, detachable shock proof mode, self-exchangeable battery) - Supercap bank for Zen Can Signature (Did a little diy thing in a...

These are ‘SR325is’. Into a few of the last they put the e-series drivers.

By the way: What is the Neo iDSD2? And who is Karl Z.?

Now I’m curious. Which USB cable? (Searching one.)

Chord Hugo 2: 3V, Qutest: 1, 2 or 3 V.

To me that username means 40.357 well earned likes for sharing great music enthusiasm… with all of us. Uhm sorry, 40.358!

Is there no one else plugging the players coaxial SPDIF to the Mojo? I do, cause the Mojo is unbelievable with 16/44.1 LPCM. If I am able to pry the Apollo from the wifes or eldest sons fingers. The Apollo itself is great to me. But with this small black cigarette pack added… wow! I couldn’t...

Anybody spend the extra 170,- in a balanced cable? Maybe measure pin 2 against 4?

I‘m using flac 24/96-192 on iPhones for about 8 Years. There is no limitation to 16 bit or 48 kHz in (intel’s) Lightning or iOS and never was. Only their ‘Music‘ player, the thing in iTunes didn‘t work with it. Put Onkyo, Hibiki, or one of the gazillion other to the phone add a Mojo2, xDSD...

Ya kidding, right?!

To connect - ,whether it’s connected in the cups to ring (mostly in balanced ones) or sleeve (more common).

So you can use cables of the T1 or some of the Hifimans?

A Corda Rock! Someone there loves microdynamics. 😃

Macbeth, act 4. (Where the witches foretelling the appearance of Grado headphones) But even the >60 Ladies will call it ‘girls night out’.

One a.m., time to relax. Kids and wife are in bed, the finishing touches of household are done. Dishwasher filled and running, no one will trip over toys in the mornin, desk is swabbed, lunchboxes prepared so far. Time to spread the stuff. To reduce sleep by some listening. Lately it was all I...

Consider me jealous.

From the first day standing in the shop, having one of these phones in hand, wondering about that minimalistic, somewhat mechanical design, that looks like a WW2 radio operator tool, especially the metal ones, there is something magical about them, that you can’t escape. Maybe it’s the contrast...

Much too late…

Uuh, … guys? Need your help. Where have you read that ‘LAN itself… by specs… is transformer coupled?‘ It‘s been a while since I read the IEEE 802.3* . Last time when the IEC 60950 changed into IEC 62368. And maybe I‘ve missed something… But I really can’t remember something about fully...
