44 Minutes. This album gets better every time I listen to it. Progressive fashion, plenty of saxophone mixed in with some simply amazing guitar leads. These guys are very talented musicians, to say the least. It doesn't get much better than this for my tastes. The details coming from the K340's shine with this type of music.

Bigger, Better, Faster, More! (1992) by 4 Non Blondes - This album sounds absolutely god-like on the Grados. Instead of guitar, which is normally the 325x's forte, this album has Linda Perry's incredibly powerful voice as the lead instrument. There's a moment in Morphine & Chocolate where she goes so over the top she completely loses control, that sounds phenomenal through these headphones, just the right amount of bite, just the right amount of grunt - sheer rock perfection achieved!

This is such a great song

Slate Vsx--Vsx software(emulating PMC MB2 XBD)--Sonnox Listenhub

This setup sounded completely off running it off the output of SoundSource (mac), but sounds pretty amazing off of listenhub output (adjustable plugin buffer). It takes a little bit of adjustment, but psychoacoustically...this is impressive. Definitely weird to hear upfront sub bass, correct stereo field, correct depth and coming from headphones.

Can't Buy A Thrill (1972) by Steely Dan - Today I am mostly wearing a BIG GRIN. My shiny new Grado RS-1x arrived at 10:30 this morning and I'm already on my third album. Started off with Led Zeppelin 1, followed by Pretzel Logic and now onto Can't Buy A Thrill. I'm really happy with the sound of these Grados right out of the box and my brain is now pretty much attuned to the new sound signature, so a very enjoyable weekend is planned, listening to a LOT of albums. The sound is quite different to the SR325x, there's a lot more detail, larger sound stage, better separation, clearer highs, just a pretty wonderful sound. The SR325x will be going nowhere, they will remain my default choice for AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses, Aerosmith, etc., basically any hard hitting rock that has no interest in subtlety.

Deftones, White Pony

Pitchfork review: "transcends the dubious genre of nu-metal by fashioning a truly new form from post-hardcore, industrial, trip-hop, shoegaze, ambient electronics, and synth-pop."

...so that covers most bases !
