Something strange happened with my Grado GS1000e. It was always my least favourite headphone in my collection. I had it month on Ebay but nobody wanted it.

In upgrading my chain i try to get the most analogue sound possible as i'm not using vinyl or a good CD-Player. I dislike the harsh digital sound from computer over USB.

In one of my recent upgrades and the update that made my chain exactly sound what i look for my GS1000e suddenly changed from my least favourite headphone to my favourite headphone.

Seems like Grados pair better with analogue sounding systems? When i heard this with a Sabre Dac i was close before selling it with a dumping price on ebay but now with a good NOS Dac and an overall very analogue sounding system i actually think about selling all other headphonea and only keep the Grado.

I think you are right. A few pages back you will find my comparsion of three quality DAC. 2 R2R NOS (one fully tube, other tube/FET hybrid) and one oversamplig type. It was really day/night difference in favour of the NOS DACs. More weight, a more smooth presentation which works wonderfully with Grado.

Or I could simply say the Grado does reveal what you connect before it.

I like the Grado house sound, but it is definitely forward and not particularly sympathetic to harsh sources. Use the wrong DAC or play badly produced tracks and you'll know about it. I'm using a marantz HD dac, which is ultra smooth and occasionally my 325e are just too much on loud jangly overdriven rock music. Maybe it's an age thing but I'm less tolerant of loud HF tones than I think I was when younger. As much as I like the 325e I don't think they are the end of my journey.

The deathstar is here. It is huge. I put my Hemp for reference next to it. Definitely not for jogging. I will post impressions after a couple of days...

Fits right in with that massive DAC you have.

Definitely curious what you think and whether or not you feel they're worth the money. Wonder how much better than the PS500e they sound.

@ruthieandjohn has what you're looking for as far as comparisons between Grado's, for sure.
There is no mention of cable conductors, though, in his comparisons, Take a look at his signature.
