Those aluminium gimbals are beautiful. Any discernible increase in weight?

 

[Damien Grief]

But how do they sound now? Any improvement or is it just a cosmetical change?

About the same. I'd say the highs are slightly tamed down compared to the plastic cups. But it's not a huge change. Still using the same driver.

Maybe a tiny bit heavier? But the cable is also a lot lighter. I haven't minded having them on my head.

I also thought this was the case. Out of curiosity I grabbed my scale: The aluminum gimbal (with the screws) is 11g and the plastic gimbal is 10g.

Has anyone tried the Sabaj Pha3 with their Grados?

Hah. Barely any difference then. Probably lighter overall after I replaced the stock cable, too.

Pulled the trigger on the GS3ke. Arrives tomorrow, looking forward to a happy listening session on Sunday

Wow, congrats. I love my GH2, which I want to think is a GS3000e-mini! I would love be able to compare the two. After 2 months with mine, I'm still finding songs that I think, Ooo this is the first time I've heard this song on these phones.

Nice, please show us some pictures of this beauty. Have a nice weekend

Actually, that is not the consensus around here when it comes to the GH1.
The GH1 sounds fantastic with both, Grado L & G cushions, as does the GH2 IMHO.
I use both, my GH1 & 2 exclusively w/Grado G cushions and prefer both over other models that come stock w/G cushion.

Do you think GH2 / G surpasses in sound also GS1000i/GS1000 ?

Wondering about GH2 with G Cush vs GS1000e if anyone has any experience with those combos.

Same!

DAC shoot-out at the weekend. Aqua LasScala (current) vs Chord DAVE vs Aries Cerat Heléne. Amp is the Pathos. Both the HEMP and the RS2e tracks wonderfully the differences between them. While Grado can sound good with a phone too it does not mean they are not transparent enough to play with serious electronics!

If you're interested in my personal preferences here is a short read which may possibly help you enjoy what you already have.
By no means am I saying you shouldn't compare both for yourself, though.

I've owned 3 GS models.
The GS1000i, GS1000e and GS2000e and my personal preferences are both, the GH1 & GH2 w/G cushions.

Question for more experienced Head-Fiers: With my HF3 headphones, a Dragonfly Red and an iPhone, do you think I will notice a discernible difference streaming Hi Res (Qobuz) and Masters (Tidal) over the standard 16 bit files available on those sites?
