Hi lucky guys (because you already have a Grado!)
I was suppose to buy a used GH 1000, but I heard a problem with it. The sound level of the left channel is less loud compared to the right one.
One day, I heard some scratch especially with the bass. It disappeared after giving small hits on the headphone. One other day, the sound completely disappeared and came back after giving small hits. Also, when I increase quickly the volume, I have the impression that the volume of the left channel increases slower compared to the right one. And if I listen loud, the left headphone cut completely the sound but cone back if I reduce the volume.
I was told that it sounds like if the driver is at the end of its life and both drivers should be changed.
Can I have your point of view?
And as last question, about Wich model would be better for the style of music I enjoy.
First, as DAC-AMP, I am waiting for my new Audio-gd Master 11.
For the style of music, I listen to electro, blues, rock and voices mainly. No classical (yet?)
It is difficult to listen to several Grado in Alsace France. So your advice would be welcomed.
The GH1000 is really great but seems not enough punchy for this type of music.
Also I have some recordings I really like but the revording/mastering is not the best. It would be great to have a headphone not too sharp with the song to keep at least some pleasure.
Also the 325 is really hearing me too much.
Any idea?
For the budget..... I will be patient if expensive...
