And my favorite song by Norah...man, melt me into a quivering puddle of goo. 

I think 'Nightingale' might be my favourite trom the 'Come Away With Me' album. I don't know though, because I think it's impossible to decide. The other songstress from the same sort of time, Katie Melua does similar sort of music too. Also her debut album featured some great female vocals. I think Faraway Voice might be my favourite if I had to choose one. I know Grado fans say they love female vocals with their Grado. I think 'Faraway Voice' is a special piece for that.

  as with any "experiment" an open mind is essential

 
Hmmm!,  ''open mind' why do these words sound so familiar to me?

  Check the Grado mods thread. I think I remember 7keys saying that he gave 'em a go with his SennGrados and they weren't worth keeping...

From my experience with the leather Ear Zonk pads, I'd suppose all pads that look "closed" like this is gonna screw up the Grados really bad... Imagine what the tape mod would do and amlify it 1000 times more. You get the idea.

Your 100% right.
After really thinking about how the EZ vinyl pads KILLED the 325is I wasn't looking to KILL the sound of my PS1Ke so I canceled them.

Hi guys
Just want to say a big thank you for your comments that helped me to chose a Grado.
I finally ordered the GH-1 and the G cushions.
A friend of mine gave me a 325 and a GS1000 for testing.
And according to your feedback I understood that with the G cushions, this head phone will have the best sound of all Grado from the bass till the highs. I also wanted a light and comfortable cans like the GS1K. The RS1k are so heavy in comparison.
My friend should bring it to me on Monday. But I will start to burn it only when I will be back from my motorbike road trip to Vietnam on the 14.Feb
I will then write my firsts feedback of this cans...

Have a nice trip in Vietnam! This is the best time to visit the country, since it's almost Tet (traditional New Year holiday).

I never had the WA6, but I definitely felt like the EF5 was a killer value. Gobs of clean, thick power with a solid list of modding options.

Haha yessir. That one and "Don't Know Why" are my go-to's.

2 things... First off I have the EF-5 as well and I agree, a great value for the $350 I got it for!! I assume, we are talking about the Hifiman EF-5 that is. 
 
Secondly, in regards to the G-Cush pads, what portable case do people who have these earpads use? I have my grado's wired for portable use and a hard case, but I think the G-Cush pads would get crushed if I used my current hard case.
 
Thanks!
James

 

[TraceStar]

You need a bigger hard case. The GS1k needs to be carried in a bigger case too courtesy of the G-cush

Yea. I figured I would need a bigger case, I was looking for some suggestions on a flat hard case like I have, but with a little more space. Larger footprint I guess.
 
Thanks,

Want to try the G-cushions for my GH-1. Someone who knows where I can get those in Europe? I don´t want to pay 60 pounds at Amazon-UK.
What about those Wang Yifeis G-cush?
