Do you find the rs2e superior to the newer? I had the rs2 buttoned but the bass was too light to my hears.
I find the new series stronger in bassier frequency, even too much, like the sr325x in some songs. Do you find the rs2x too bassy? The previous is more balanced?

i do prefer the rs2x (i just swapped the drivers in my rs2e). the extra bass exactly makes the difference for my. they are still far from being a bassheads joice... :wink:

FYI.
This is what's inside the RS1x's cable.
Mine has a 4 pin xlr connector now.

Grado is a straight shooter, would never lie. As an authorized dealer years ago in the NY area I dealt with them many, many times. John is down to earth and very serious like his uncle Joe was about always moving forward and looking 👀 to improve his product while maintaining value pricing (a Grado tradition). Their phono cartridges also evolve the same way. Joe Grado once had a highly regarded phono cartridge that sold for $12 and was reviewed as better than popular brands $50 to $100 retail models. Joe Grado also invented the moving coil yet never made and marketed one as he felt his design for his cartridges was superior.

Yes - it's an 8-conductor cable--which it states on Grado's website.
2 Red = Left
2 White = Right
4 Blue = Ground
You sure about that? Normally Red == Right

Well, I've just ordered a GH2 on ebay. Comes with stock pads and BA Leather / Merino pads. The stock pads are apparently unused, so I will probably start there. Fingers crossed I love it. :D

Today I Rediscovered my PS1000 satin finish with the Mapletree Ear+ HD after a 2 year hiatus….that distinctive Grado midrange
Mad ear+ no longer available ever since Dr Lloyd stopped making amp as he turned blind. What a pity.
