which iems, if you don't mind me asking? Grado?


i felt that my GR10e's were lacking, so i made the big upgrade, to Final Audio Designs' FI-BA-SS. Compared on these very forums with ortofons' EQ7, which in turn is a lot like the aforementioned grado in ear.

The difference is that these are more detailed, better bass, more extended treble. Feels faster all over the spectrum, better instrumental seperation, and thus a larger soundstage.

nice, thanks!

I've been eyeing these for a couple of weeks but was unsure if they would fit my needs. Good to hear another positive feedback on them from a Grado fan, much appreciated.

  . wish i had at least 17 pairs of ears...

Would you listen all the 17?
At a moment i had 4 pairs (GS1000,HP1000,RS1i,HF2) ,love them all but had really no time to enjoy them all :frowning2:  so i ended in keeping only the ones i was using the most (GS, HP).

I've tried more than a few times and ended up keeping my favorites (ps1k and buttoned Rs1) but I somehow always end up buying more Grados again.

Unlike many, if not most, I give an unsettled nod to the PS500e's 
over the GH1's.
 
The GH1's are excellent indeed, but I hear a slightly "synthetic"
sound quality in them.  (Sorry, but it's the best word I could
come up with to describe their SQ.)  
 
I've not heard the RS2e's, though I heard the RS2i's and didn't
like them. I thought the ratio of bass to treble was off (too much
treble).
 
I like the PS500e's a whole lot.

interesting. This review of the GH1 from Headfonics found the GH1 and PS500e virtually the same, and that with eq
they could sound indistinguishable from each other:

....would you agree with the reviewer's findings?

after managing to stay away from buying Grados for a few months (after selling my ps1ke, gs1ke, gh1 and black star sr325) in just the last couple of weeks I've re-bought the Gh1, ps500 and I'm expecting an sr200 black star drivers very soon!
 
I also have a couple of wooden sleeves and aluminum cups sitting around just looking at me, tempting me to throw some drivers on them! I think a pair of sr80e drivers would go VERY well in those!

I'm also between modifing my SR60 or just keep them stock!
Do you have any pic of the cups?

I was looking at the Spirit Labs new all black aluminum cups. They look pretty sweet to me, especially without that writing on them!
