Interesting... how do they compare to your SR325X?

I've been swapping between them on a variety of sources and recordings and the SR325x seems a bit dull and dry compared to the SR325 50th. I could live with either exclusively, but would pick the 50th given a choice. The 50th is MUCH better for FM radio.

Well, I gave in. Bought a RS1x.

The relief, the release…. You will not regret the purchase! When you break it in - which the RS1x definitely needs to ‘come on song’ - use music, not tones or pink/white noise.

I didn't even bother breaking my Hemps in. Sounded great right out of the box. Do you think the RS1x needs it? If so, how long?

The RS1x sound good out of the box; my experience is that RS1x hit ‘full stride’ after 100 hours. [I used CD replay to help this crossing.]

Well, I'm sure I'll try them before considering breaking them in. We'll see. But I'll keep it in mind for sure.

I concur with Jonathan - give 'em at least 100 - if even 200 hours!

Once ‘in stride’, RS1x does well with just about any low output impedance h/p/a. RS1x is sensitive enough to be driven by a portable source but has the dynamics to thrive on a dedicated, more powerful, h/p/a. SS , OTC tube .

Anyone tried RS1x with a Class A Burson Amp? Am probably purchasing one for black friday as they typically have a 20% off sale. Or unless a new LE comes out that is my top priority.

Not with Burson but with Gilmore Lite II (Class A) plus Golden Reference power supply unit. Excellent!

Well now you will know hemp v rs1x! .. fight! ..
Will your beloved hemp last 10 rounds? Or will rs1x go for the knockout? Maybe a draw?.... tbc

Congratulations!
I think you made a good decision concerning what you already own and what you expect from your new headphone.

Enjoy them!
