I'll be joining the Grado Club with my very first Grado, a GS1000i that I'd be getting tomorrow.Thought of plunging in with a PS1000e, but was advised against spending so much on a pair of can that I might possibly dislike......thus far, I haven't come across a can that I don't like, that's the cause of my ever expanding collection.

Great! I was really tempted by the GS1000i that Overture Audio is offering new at 25% off, but I ordered the GS1000e as my first NEW e-series Grado. Compared the sound to find that they both sound really Great!

hiya,
 
can i ask what does people mean when they say planar magic? is it the raw feeling bass hit?
or there's magic in other frequency range too?

 
 
For those of us who love planar drivers - especially fans of Magnepan speakers, which is where the term "Maggie Magic" came from - "planar magic" is when you hear the speakers/headphones do something you just don't hear the same way with a dynamic driver. For me, it's the realism that planars bring to the table that I find just mesmerizing.

Interesting that the RS2 is your everyday listener

 
I found it interesting, as well...just confirms for me what I'm hearing on my end, as well, though. The RS2 is a damn good headphone.

I agree... I got the RS2i just 5 days ago. I LOVE them! They are so overlooked, like the SR125!

It's fun discovering little unappreciated gems, isn't it?

Due to the Grados being reputed to be rather......sparkly(?), I've been 'training' my ears to tolerate brighter cans by using the brightest can I have in my collection, the ATH-AD2000 with the Geek Pulse Standard instead of my Schiit Lyr + iFi Nano iDSD stack. I'll be going out soon to meet with the seller and to collect the can, can't hardly wait!

The newer model RS's/GS are coming "stock" with Tan headbands and lighter colored cups.
