Metal gimbal= angle?

 

[ESL-1]

Hey guys I noticed something interesting with the gimbals/post on my RS1x. The post is attached at angle. Please check out my pics vs my RS2e post, which look much in-line with the gimbal. Do other's RS1x look like this?

I just checked my RS1x and it has the same angle, so that is correct.

OK thanks for looking, I didn't notice until I saw my other headphones.

Yes, mine does. I believe that by being attached at an angle the post / joint is subject to less stress when the RS1x is worn.

Day 5 with Grado. I've with me He1000se and GH1 sitting right in front of Woo Audio WA22 so I can swap quickly. Every instance when I'm listening with GH1, I'm preferring the Grado over the HiFiMan. This is very telling. With Yggdrasil not with me at the moment, it's NAD M51 doing dac duties. In this chain, soundstage is wide, vocals are sweet and there's precision in every note and drum beats.

The obsession with GH1 rolls on.



Picking up this Super Mini 6FD7 amp from Eric this morning to expose GH1 to more amps.

Interesting. The Woo WA6 (1st Gen.) can take 6FD7 as well as the ‘native’ 6DE7…..(I’ve used neither, opting for Footscray CV455s with adapters.)…

This amp uses 6FD7 / 6DR7 or 6EW7 / 6DE7 with a flick of the switch. Going to get it now.

Is there no limit to how well this Grado can scale? With this Super Mini 6EW7, the GH1 just pop ! It's sweetness on another level.

Susvara and Cayin IHA-6 arriving in 15. There's going to be fireworks and surprises.

How good it the GH1? Anyone with GH1 and RS2e?

Too good in my opinion.

Many thanks to my friend @xtiva for bringing over his Susvara and Cayin IHA-6. That combination is actually very good but when I listen to GH1 with the Super Mini 6EW7, I have to say that I prefer the GH1 combo. There is no sweeter vocals performance. GH1 is a much tighter tone than Susvara but when combined with that tube amp, everything just pop. The synergy is stunning.

I've tried GH1 with Cayin but I definitely prefer it with the tube amp. Synergy is incredible. As in all things audio, your mileage may vary.

Same for the Gs and Ps ones too.

As per @UntilThen who has far more experience with hifi but it was an amazing headphone with 6EW7 amp. These seem like it was made for each other... The amp brought out the best of the headphone... the detail retrieval was amazing with tight and articulate bass...

awesome time today Thanks @UntilThen

So can you stop with only one Grado?
