well there's a stage between bling and blung,  
as you are getting ready to blung, you blang 
so it's bling, blang, blung

Some good RS1 material...but any Grado would be fine as well

That's only because it goes bling BANG! BOOM!!! And that's why we listen to Grados. Because they are the only headphones that truly go BING BANG BOOM no matter how old you are. Just pull out some rocking vintage music on your Grados and tell me your feet don't start tapping until they go into a dance and you are twenty all over! little jim the shaman!

For those that think the 325's are to harsh every Grado has it's own music. Try the deep voice if Tony Joe White doing the swamp rap(live from Austin TX) and watch how it brings the best out of those metal cups.

Exceptional HP!
Tonight I'm going to listen to my 325is/WA6 combo along with some 90's grunge!

  Is it fair to say the logical upgrade path from 325i is PS500 or PS1000? The RS1 and RS2 would be a different sound signature, or do I have this backwards? 

 
I think that the SR325i and the PS500 represent the two extremes of the Grado line, therefore I don't think that the PS500 are the logical upgrade to the 325i. I think that the RS1i, would be the better choice.
 
The GS and PS1000 are different animals, having a significantly bigger soundstage, and more recessed mids.
 
I would classify Grado sound signatures as follows.
 
SR serie/ RS series, I'm not saying that the SR60, sounds exactly like the RS1. what I mean, is that they all have moderate bass extension, intimate mids, extended and very detailed treble, and a not pariculary big soundstage.
 
PS500, compared to the SR and RS serie, they have, deeper bass extension, slightly less intimate, and a bit chesty sounding mids, a detailed, but rolled off treble, and a slightly bigger soundstage. 
 
GS/PS1000, compared to the SR and RS series, they have deeper bass, more recessed mids, as much treble extension, a bigger soundstage, and a sense of air (space) around the instruments.

Interesting.  Having owned the 500, I would say that it does not go deeper, it just emphasizes the mid-bass that all other Grados have which could account for the chestiness you write of. Perhaps a small point.
 
Naturally, the GS and PS1K would have a bigger soundstage because of the G-Cush.
 
Essentially, however, I agree with you.  The differences between Grados are small but significant.

Funny you mention that... Minneapolis schools are closed today, due to severe cold and wind-chill warnings. My daughter was bummed-out because we live in Minnetonka, which declared schools open today.
 
I don't remember schools closing for weather when I was a kid, but back in my day, we walked to school up-hill, both ways 

Ha I worked outside today doing site surveys and quotes...

I will be sure to grab some 6336 tubes for my grados.....matter of fact...will probably get a few....any suggestions 

 
Yeah, I have had about 3 people tell me that have owned the WA22 and Glenns OTL that you get the same performance from both amps....but glenns is about half the cost...depending what extras you want on it.
 
I am pretty stoked and I will post pics once i get it.

 
I tried some TS/Chathams and RCA's... they looked and sounded the same... so yeah, I wouldn't be so picky with these... I have the feeling that only 1 or 2 vendors actually made them. The hardest part is finding a pair that is quiet. Buy some high temp o-rings from Home Depot to use as tube dampers... they can make a microphonic tube almost usable, sometimes lol
