Haven't listened to my PS500E in a long time, dug out my old Little Dot 1+.

This has me thinking, should I look for an 'upgrade' amp wise even though this setup still impresses me...

Tube change?….for LD1+….

Another tow rope bites the dust.

Running Mullard blue glass tubes which are excellent…

Did you ever dry to Upgrade you Little Dot? I love mine with Sparkos Labs Dual O Amp SS3602 and Mullard M8000 tubes. The Sparkos replaced a Muse 02 and that was a real big step in stage and authority in bass. This combination has everthing you maybe miss with Grados. It's not neutral but a perfect combination. Better save the money for another headphone.

As previously mentioned, I’ve upgraded with the Mullard tubes, can’t remember which op-amp I replaced the original with. It’s still a great amp, and I love the PS500e, just curious really if they can benefit with another amp…

Just missed out by £10
You win some you lose some I guess

Well look on the bright side you can make something better sounding for half that.
My Rose woods for instance.
I had the chance of using the GS1000 for a while thanks too John boy

 

[rocketron]

Also you would only throw all that extra tow rope away

What's your opinion on them ?, Was only going to buy them to rip apart anyway, the cups had a few stains on so they would need some work and then there's the extras, plus I've still to smuggle into the collection the RS2E's yet

 

[rocketron]

I would think you would prefer the RS2 to the GS1000.
Smuggling is a difficult thing especially when two are silver and metal and the others wooden.
I wouldn’t get away with that one.

True, smuggling is somewhat of an ugly word..... Now the term "blending in" is much more sophisticated
The PS500e addition was an easy one, silver and black just like the 325x's .
Getting the R2's sent to work tomorrow so it gives me breathing space for a story

If someone could measure the cable holes in the RS2E's it would be appreciated, I've got a selection of connectors that should fit without going gung ho with the Dremel, but if I know the exact dimensions I can get some connectors on overnight to work so I can start the upgrade

Is it the 4 wire cable with tech flex or 8 wire?
I can measure the HF3 as it’s a 4 wire.
