Oh wow, excellent indeed. I'd buy those right this second if it weren't for the ps2ke coming out. I've kinda put a hold on new Grados until then.. plus I just bought a brand new headtrip amp lol so audio funds are very tight haha

Hey, did you just post your Headtrip on Reddit? Pretty sure I just read over a thread with some pics of well that very same amp and story!
 
Non the less, amp wise I was really impressed with my HM901-iBasso PB2, I've built that rig for low impedeance headphones, like my W1000X and Th X00, it worked really nice with the RS2E! But I kinda want a nice hybrid tube for some of the... more controlled Grado Esque headphones, I'd imagine the PS500E with some gCrush Pads would do nice on a tube... to help smooooth out that really hot top end

Nope I only lurke on reddit, never post haha

Also the LeeLoo is an absolutely incredible tube amp. Ask Justin for some clean and transparent tubes and you'll have perfectly silent noise floor and background with a precise amount of warmth and sweetness to smooth out the Grado

Sadly I'm not quite ready to delve into totl tube amps just yet! I might save up for a Project Ember Amp here shortly and pair it with some E88 CCs or E82CCs, when I had my project starlight I never quite got a chance to listen to some of the nice Vokshods I got in :/ a real shame too I think I grabbed a nice one for around $40 out of the Balkans, or grab another GE Octal, I remember I really liked those

Bought these original SR80 cups and drivers from another member and put together a headband for them with a Modhouse leather strap and a set of 3d printed rod blocks. I accidentally jammed out until 1 in the morning with them. I enjoy these more then the SR60e I have (which are about to go under the knife for some mods). What would be a good next step up within Grado that I could pull off this year (used sub $400)? I have the soon to modified SR60e, these and about to have HD600s. RS2 (which series)? SR225 or SR325 (i or e)?

Also these left me really impressed with Grado's customer service. One of the rods had come lose from the gimbel and disappeared. Grado sent me two replacements for free.

Awesome stuff Civic!

I don't know which you'd prefer but I feel confident in saying that the 225 is best with "e" series and the 325 is best with "I" series. So I'd say either 225e or 325i of those two choices. Depends on what kind of sound you want. but both are really good.

Get one of those two over the RS2i or e? I need to find somewhere where I can demo some Grados.

Oh actually if you're considering the rs2 then the RS2e is the best version and it is also the best versus the other headphones mentioned too. It's one of the best Grado headphones made imo.. I'd highly recommend trying them yourself in a store (likely they'll only have e series to demo) or borrowing from somewhere. Again though, RS2e is a super great headphone. Next for my personal choice would be 225e. But these are just my personal preferences.

Joined the club again, used to have some old SR60's, missed how great they were and sold my Beyers and went back to the more engaging grados.

I'll be gently modding them (new cable and grill) mainly.

Also far from bright and piercing with my tube amp.

Yeah I was in the process of trying to buy something on the FS forum and then this happens. Some warning sure would have been nice... or if there was a warning, I sure didn't see it.
