According to Rich Grado, and what I have read in their FB Group, The new Professional Series is "Discontinued."RS1-X or must I wait the PS500X?

My PS500e had been updated with the cable used with the PS2000e and G cushions. It had been done by the importator of Nederland.
The result is so good about dynamic that the GS3000e has not the same level of live And details.
Without the 6.35/3.5 mm adaptator, No distortion from fems parasite.
Each time, i listen the original PS500e, i am surprised by differences.
With Chord Hugo2 and Mojo2 used with 2GO2YU with Wireworld optical fibre, If i compare PS500e/RS1X each with G cushions.
Mojo2 can not give you a real idee of the qualities of each.
Hugo2 like Mojo2 will give you the same big space with a lot of details but the qualities of the voices are far more present with the Hugo2.
I could say the same with Dave and PS2000e. The Hugo2 is not the good level for PS2000e.
If you think that RS1X needs equalisation, Mojo2 could be your must have.

Enjoying this combo also. What is the name of the company who did the cable upgrade? What is the difference between the stock and PS2000e cable?
The diference between the Mojo 2 and TT2 are there but small/subtle.

My dealer send my PS500e to the importateur because the PS500e had lost the left channel and i asked a cable with 6.35mm because i use the PS500e mainly with the Hugo2.

In the Hugo2 the 6.35mm is more robust.
Maybe I can meet you near Maastricht. Your ears will be better than my words could be.

more than the rest of us?

Sorry for messing up on your quote..
I had been in retail audio for many years so have a lot of friends still in the business. Sometimes I just guess what might seem to make sense. In regards to the PS500e which I have and like I am thinking with several new x series around that price range proving to be so very popular there would be less a need for the 500e to come back.
In the meantime I hope I am guessing wrongly, it would be interesting to hear an update on it.
I have no intention to let go of mine. In addition to still liking it so much it also had been a gift from my Mom and sister for Christmas back then so there is also a sentimental feeling attached,

It is F-cushion time.
[At this rate, I will be listing which tracks sound better to me with F, G, L cushions on the RS-1x and on the Hemp

Amp swapping is more me

On the now ‘seasoned’ RS-1x, I am finding that depending on the recording the difference in presentation via F, G, or L cushions can range from reasonably small to surprisingly wide. I’ll categorise for simplicity the differences as those of perspective.

Anyone tried this one with Grado?:

Yes, it's working now. And thanks you for hospitality.Labas rytas

Hello everyone,
I thought it’s important to share my DIY Grado pads setup (because I struggled with it for some time).
I bought Grado RS2e two months ago and I’m really loving them, except scratchy and very uncomfortable L-pads. It’s a free pleasure each time to take them off, same as wearing to small shoes (I'm also wear glasses).
So, I started looking for other pads and I couldn’t find anything better, for example G-pads are better for comfort, but they have to much bass and mids disappear. I tried different pads and still waiting for others to arrive.
For now, I end up with my DIY Beyerdynamic DT 770 pads setup. It’s now much more comfortable, it has more bass (which is welcome), but most important mid and high frequencies are in place. By playing with different pads I understand that distance between speaker and ear can’t change. If distance is increasing, mid and high frequencies disappearing and sound become muddy.
Hope it helps to someone else.
