    LCD-2 VS D7000

    I have D7000 and new purchased LCD-2, my setup is   Macpro+Pure music->Ayre QB-9->X-CAN V8->LCD-2/D7000.   D7000 is one year old, and LCD-2 is about 6 days use.   I do not know if my amp is not good for LCD-2. My impression for LCD-2 is not that good. And yes, LCD-2 is more...

    Buying my first audiophile phones

    Hi.   I have been looking around the net for some new headphones. But the tests that i could find did not specify what kind of music the phones worked best with. I listen to music like Mew, Deftones, Lamb of god, isis, jamiroquai, tool, thrice, the fall of troy, mars volta,steely dan, john...

    Grado SR80i first impressions and questions

    Hi all,   Well this is my first Grado!, and I must agree when people say how different and fun these cans sound!. But I will like to make some comments and ask some questions about going deeper into the Grado land. First in terms of design I really like that vintage look, it is quite a...

    Grado GS1000i versus Denon AH-D7000.....Keeping both.

    Recently got the new Grado GS1000i, the "i" for improvement as the literature says. All you can see is really shinier walnut and much thicker cabling. Still the Y joint pressed cables (from the left and the right) makes you cringed with horror. Just why Grado does not do this Y joint like...

    Grado's for Icon HDP

    Hi all, I am a fairly new member of this forum. Have been interested in hi-fi all my life but since the past 10 years I am spending most of the time travelling (but for prolonged periods of time), I have decided to move to portable hi-fi / hi-end solution with Headphones and DAC/Headphone...

    Hey All,   I thought I would post my findings after (finally) getting my butt off to the local Hi-Fi store and would be interested in your thoughts about how I found the cans & some improvements to how I describe the sound (we all have to start somewhere!!)   Bit of background first, I am...

    Grado GS1000i

    Just bought the new Grado GS1000i's. I had read that some people experienced a hard treble before "burn in". Mine was just that. To much of a  fizzy top end, and to much sizzle on hihats and cymbals   and a dip in the lower mid/bass giving  a sort of loudness button pressed in effect! has anyone...

    Asthetically damaged Grado GS1000i - Repair Suggestions

    So,   Today my dog decided it was wise to get caught in the cable for my Grado GS1000i headphones, and during his shenanigans he has managed to pull one of the Headphones from the Headband.   There is no damage at all to the phone itself, but I am unable to re-attach it to the headband...

    After a year and half, I still think the GS-1000i is a great headphone.

    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...

    Grado GS-1000i vs. Audez'e LCD-2? Or something else entirely?

    So I'm looking at headphones under $1000 right now. I currently own a pair of AKG K240s and a pair of K271s, but find that they are both a little cold and recessed for my tastes. The 271s are good for classical and the like, but not much else, and the K240s have a just adequate bass response...

    Grado GS1000i build quality?

    I think that the lower end Grado cans are kinda cheap looking when compared to Denon and Sennheiser. Is the GS1000i a lot better considering it's price tag?

    Grado RA-1 with Magnum Lite Grado and GS1000i. Sweet.

    Ok, I'm not going to revive all the old threads about Grado being a $300 box with $30 worth of parts. Oh wait, in a sense, I just revived it. In any case, I just took possession of a battery powered RA-1. The unit is light. Build quality is ok: the wood is certainly nice but prone to...

    Amp for GS1000i ?

    Hey guys, newb here so bear with me. I purchased a pair of Grado GS1000i's awhile ago along with a PS Audio GCHA amp to run them. Everything was okay for awhile, now I find myself wanting to go to that next level.   I have my eye on a maxed out version of the WA-6SE from Woo but I'm unsure...

    Amping my Grado GS1000i +DAC 600$ limit

    I own a new pair of Grado GS1Ki headphones that I am loving. Right now I am just using the headphone out on my Anthem AVM30 along with it's internal DAC. I will be using these most often in my office/game room. In there I will be stuck with a Yamaha Rxv540 receiver. At that point, I'm really...

    Why do Tube amps supposedly work best with the GS1000i?

    You will have to excuse my naievety ( think that's how you spell it) but I'm interested to learn why Valve amps work great with Grado more than Solid State amps do? I tried a BCL with my SR60's & RS1i's and they seemed to synergise better with my SR60's. Why? Also if i buy a GS1000i will it...

    Grados Questions

    Alright, I'm conflicted about which Grados pair of headphones to get. I have only around 150 to spend and I want to upgrade the headphones to over the ear with the G cushions shortly after I get them. All I'm concerned about is, do the SR80i's lose sound quality with then on because I've read...

    Grado's GS1000 or GS1000i?

    I know the "i" in GS1000i means improve but by how much. Is it worth it to get a used GS1000 or the new improve GS1000i ??? Any idea guys? I can get a GS1000 easier than the new gs1000"i" version. Right now I'm using Grado's PS500.

    Grado Statement Series GS1000i Headphones

    What does the i stand for in the GS1000i from Grado? Improved, that's what! The GS1000i uses upgraded dynamic transducers and the 8-conductor cable design. All this, wood, driver and cable designs result in improved control and stability of the upper and lower range of the frequency spectrum...
