I only have a burson conductor at home..the grados sound very nice with the amp but from what i read in the answers here a nice tube amp would be worth to try out too
I remember when Burson Audio gear was all discrete, no ICs !! Now they use ‘discrete op amps’ 🤔❓…. Anyway, Grados are wonderful with Liquid Platinum (hybrid), Icon Audio HP8, LTA MZ3, Woo Audio WA6.

Just loving my Hemps today! I am going through my Best of the 80's playlist and everything sounds wonderful!

Chain is BF2 to Little Dot MK9 to Grado Hemp's w/Shipibo pads. :L3000:

The Shipibo pads do add a bit of bass as I just tried the stock pads briefly.
FWIW: While I love my GH2 with the BA pads, I also do love the different flavour, that the Hemps provide with the flat-pads. Two different HPs :dt880smile:

I am loving the Hemps with the Shipibo pads. I rarely put the stock pads on.
Part of me keeps thinking about moving them on and then another parts of me says, "Hey, they're fun and they're paid for, what's your problem?" :smile:

Hemp is a wonderful headphone. It gets the music right! and it is (here’s that word again!) jaunty. If one cannot enjoy Hemp, one must be cocooned in misery … 😳😒😫

EDIT: The cushions for Hemp are TTVJ Deluxe Flats … F-cushions.

Trying to get things moving...

When are we expecting the PS500x that sold out in hours to come back out?

:deadhorse: :upside_down:

The question is how much the PS500e would change if it was tuned to the new Grado sound. IMO the e version already sounds like X.

Has anybody bought the X series, 12 conductor extension cable?

I cannot seem to purchase it as it’s not available in the U.K. perhaps only US. Real bummer as I don’t want to be sitting upright anymore listening to the headphones.

Yes I have it. I bought it in Germany.

FWIW: Just got new WE tubes for my iDSD DAC and wow I am a tube fan now. The Hemp's for juicy blues and the RS-1X for the more acoustic guitars :o2smile:

I fellow grado fans!

I have just recently got the rs2e's (loving it) and have put my sr325e's up for sale on classified.

Give me some good reasons to hold on to both. I want to. Just need to justify it. :)
