I am deciding between two combination Lynx ONE -> T1 -> SR-404 LE or MS-Pro Ulti (or GS1000i, PS1000 will consider) with my current source ESI Juli@ as transport for quality dac and solid state amp which will be modified on Grado character, so I expect mellower fuller richer tones and tipically...

What are the electrical and internal differences between the Grado headphones? Is it all the same driver but a different housing/cabling and whatnot? Could I take the drivers from HF-1's and put them in SR60's and expect a difference?

Try and try as I might, I just don't understand why this poor headphone has been so maligned.   Okay, it's different than the RS-1, we know that.  But it is just a lovely set of headphones.   Not sibiliant, not shrill, mids are just fine, bass is plenty controlled.     I'm no Grado fan-boy...

Haven't posted in a long while (making the wallpapers for HF was fun) but recently bit the bullet and grabbed the Grado PS1000. After falling in love with the Grado sound, thanks to my 225i's, I couldn't hold back any longer and now I'm in audio bliss. But there's a small problem. Unfortunately...

Finally for all those who wanted the soundstage of GS/PS but didn't want to sacrifice the mids of RS (the immediacy, intimacy and attack) and not to mention the money.   Steps: a. Take the Jumbo/G-Cusion and insert it into the ring of the wooden driver housing. b. Than take inner part of...

I want something that help me carry K701 or ATH-AD700, I found headcase on headroom but I think it's pricey: HeadCase Bag w/ Shoulder Strap | HeadRoom Audio Actually the headcase is fit for my purpose. But I prefer something is harder to put inside the bag with many stuff inside while...

Hello all members of head-fi First of all English isn't my first language, sorry for that.   I need a suggestion. I know there is a lot of people using this machine,so its very helpful to me if someone can answer some questions. I use a pc and iphone4 with sennheiser omx95 now and i...

I recently purchased the Grado adapter from amazon.com.  The cable is no where near as thick as that of my PS500e.  Does the version of their adapter cables that ship with the RS1e, GS1000e, and PS1000e have a thicker cable to match the cable of the headphones?   It seems like a waste to not...

I know the PS1000 probably can do more genre's of music than the RS1(i); but can it also out rock the RS1(i)?  

I have finally scrounged up enough funds to buy one of the aforementioned headphones, I just can't decide which! I have searched and could not find any direct in-depth comparisons between the PS1000 and the LCD-2, just a couple tidbits here and there in the massive LCD-2 thread. Does anyone own...

If you get the PS1000, is it worth keeping the RS1i? Will putting the bowls/L-cushion on the PS1000 give you the RS1 sound and better?    thank you

What is THE best sounding Grado of all time?.......please consider out of print Grados.   I heard the PS1000 and can't accept that it's truly a company's best work.

I briefly heard the ps1000 and had the gs1000 for a while and have the rs1i. I don't care that the ps1000 has more bass and it's obvious that it will have more soundstage due to the larger pads.  But does it have that much more detail. I know because of the jumbo pads, the details in the...

So, I need to choose what to get for Xmas soon as my dad is leaving for Saudi Arabia on Wed and doesn't come back until Xmas, so he needs to buy what I want now. This is what I own now: Sennheiser IE8i B&W P5 JH-16 Pro with JH-3A (coming before Xmas hopefully) iPhone (my current portable...

Hi guys my PS-1000 sounds somewhat softer on the right, is there an objective way of finding out?   Simply put the right side doesn't sound as good and lively as the left side. I flipped it to listen to the headphones in reverse and I find that I'm liking the left side of the headphones on...

The sole purpose of this thread is to bring together those of us who appreciate the PS1000 headphones . Please share your experience with music, components, and modifications that allow you to get the most out of your headphones.

I have had the GS1000 and only briefly auditioned the PS1000 but I wanted to see if I could get the sound out of the RS1i with proper EQ and Jumbo pads.   With Grado RS1i and my vintage receiver: if I turn up the bass and midrange two notches and lower the treble by two notches, I get what...

I know that sources and amps for full-sized cans are a different world from those for IEMs, but if I want to make use of my current source and amp for my IEMs, currently the Hifiman HM801 and the RSA Black Bird (trading for a RSA Protector soon), which of the following headphones would probably...

Just came into some money and i have around £1500 to spend that wont cause a divorce, question is HD800 or not. I have heard it now a few times and have been VERY impressed with it each time. I havent heard anything else of a comparable quality however, D7000 , DX1000, T1 , PS1000 etc.   Is...

A question for fellow headfiers who have or owned a pair of  the higher end grado's;   Q)  Does the stock extension cable supplied with the higher end Grado's have an effect on sound quality when being used, in my case the ps1000's?   thanks in advance.

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto. Bay Bloor Radio is a store focusing on Hi-Fi systems, and Home Theatre components. They sell Speaker Systems, Home Theatre Systems, (3D)HDTVs, and other components.   The link to their site is...

What's the difference - besides $1200? If you've heard them both, sound off. I'd like to know what I'm missing from my HF2's, which are amazing in their own right. Does a Darth Vader muffin top make that much difference in the sound?

I'm pretty new to this so i'm pretty clueless...   Basically I'll be using this for my ipod and computer. Preferably a model that doesn't leak sound out.   I'm looking to spend $300-400

Hi, I thought fellow head-fi'ers might be interested in this review: Grado PS1000 Headphones (Playback 25) | AVguide Cheers Peter

I just wanted to report on the great results I had with the Stefan Audio Arts Endorphin Power Cable ($379 new, a very light and flexible ribbon-like cable). I am using it on my Rudistor RP010B amp with Grado PS1000s. I tried a number of cords in a shoot out, some much more expensive...
