Does anyone know where I can purchase "liberators" for my 325is's? I looked around the site and saw that Darkaudio used to sell them, but I don't think they are in business anymore. Also if anyone has a reply on how these actually work (Iv'e never saw them before), but I know they put more space between the driver and your ears, but I don't know much more about them, like how they mount or sound, or even how much they cost, so I would appreciate if someone could give me some info or maybe post a photo of some headphones with them on, and tell me they're experience with them sound wise. Thank you.

Is the GS1001 really amp picky? Is the RS1i also?

 
In my opinion, no Grados are amp picky, heck! they don't even 'need' an amp. i regularly listen to my GS/PS/HP1000 straight from the HP output of my vintage Yamaha integrated amp.

no its a happy time... She's into audio also... Building her a pair of magnums for the wedding as we speak! (maybe she'll leave mine alone then lol)

 
Oh! my ex wife was into audio too at the beginning, and when she left, she took the Sennheiser HD450II that i had gotten her for her birthday, and then claimed that she was entitled to half of what my HD600 were worth at the time.

Depends on what you mean by "amp picky".

Grados are not picky about being driven by portables, set otls, solid state, high or low power, etc. They are an "easy" load.

They are, however, very sonically revealing of changes upstream (amp, dac, etc). And that's a great thing!

From what i can find, they mount in place of the plastic that's holding the drivers, so it's basically the plastic ring already on your grado's, but longer, putting the driver further away.

You can see them on Head-Fi forum.

Just got my second pair of Grado's! I've had 325's for a few years now, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and got a pair of PS1000's. My Woo Audio amp is on the way. My ears love me right now!
