I didn't know. I log in here before I read the regular news. Truly a very bad day for music . I have been thinking of getting a new guitar and as odd as it seems I had pretty much decided on the BB King replica, now that is in concrete. May not even play it, just hang it in a display case on the wall. I've been trying to play like him most of my life and still not even close but he certainly has been my inspiration.

I'm open to suggestions.

 
For now, my RS1 awaits, along with my BSG mint tin amp, and my old 1976 Akai 4000 mk2 Reel to Reel (a $10 garage sale find), I just finished recodring a tape of my favorite songs from my Loreena McKennitt CDs.

Nice finding that old tape rig and even more astounding that it still works!! I am REAL surprised you can still get tape for it. I don't remember which model but I used to have an Akai Open Reel. Very nice unit.

Does the comfort of Grado headphones improve much as you move up the line? I have an original pair of SR-80 that my daughter now has commandeered. I'm wondering if you go to the new SR225s or '325s if they get any more comfortable. And is there a dramatic improvement in sound?
 
Thanks,

I find my new SR80e more comfortable than my old sr80i ever were. Don't know whether they've changed the 'S' cushions but they definitely feel less itchy.

Same (L) cushions on both the i/e series…one should not be more comfortable then the other, it should only make a comfort difference if the headband was stretched more than the other too your liking.

Thanks. I think the comfort issue was more of a combination of headband and pads, but it really only got annoying after extended periods.

How much of an improvement in sound is there between the current Sr-80s and '225s?

I remember liking my Sr-80s for when I really wanted to ROCK.

well, it appears my "problem" surrounding my ps1000 has worked out , and now, if i sell them, it'll be because i want to, not have to !

Sorry, I made a mistake when I said (L) cushions…both series come with the (S) cushions.
The (L) cushions come on the 225-500. They also IMO/IME improve the sound on the 80's.
The only (e) series I've heard is the GS1Ke, can't comment on any others.

Glad it worked out in your favor.
