Thanks guys for your answers.   Yes, Greeni, I totally agree with you. Wood is not the best resonance absorber, though it looks much more natural than other materials . It also gives its unique warmth and timbre to the sound and those are the most important characteristics..   Kevin...

Hello,   I'm a happy Grado user for a long long time and I can surely say that I've developed a taste for the Grado 'house' sound too soon after my first purchase from Grado, SR80. Now over the past time, I've acquired SR225, SR325i (gold cup edition), iGrado, GR8. My latest purchase (13th...

Excellent, congratulations What's the type of wood you have used?

This thread needs useful opinions. That's to say people who have compared the two models side by side must write their thoughts for god's sake.. There's no use for comments about only one pair.. "VS." means comparison and I'm really looking forward for inputs from people who know...

All of my 80's/225's/325i's goldies, have the same wire thickness properties.. The outer sheaths are always thicker than the inner wiring..

Hey Ian, does your silver pair have a serial number on the package or scratched on the plastic housing of the cups? I know that all gold 325i's have serial numbers. So that makes them the 50th year anniversary pairs! So, ONLY the gold 325i's were the anniversary-special editions and all...

Yeah please do post your pics, this topic becomes hotter.. Silver 325i's ?
