Haha, yep it was the iGi that I was thinking about. http://www.whathifi.com/grado/igi/review
 
I wonder if they make eGi or iGe now, or neither. I would be happy to go with the What Hi-Fi review. Maybe I should take a punt. I really could use something better.
 

1. The idea of the eGrado would be really good. There is something about SR60 drivers, that they use. I like to be able to hear around me when near roads etc.

 

1. Isolation with IEM's would be good too though because I do use public transport. There is the rule that you should never turn up your earphones over noise around you. Meaning if it's noisy around you, anything louder would damage your ears. 

 
How do I decide?

there IS already iGe:

but cant find any detailed reviews about them

It's fairly new. I've been asking the official distributor in my country for it but they said they've got no news from grado.

Started with SR325is, fell in love with Grado immediately.

Yes.

 

[lsh40]

  Yes.

So how good will it be? Is it worth the price sound-wise only?

 

[lsh40]

  Yes.

I am currently using hifiman ef2a with mullard tubes btw.

I don't know what you mean by "sound wise only" and I can't comment on the RA-1 being I've never heard it. From what I understand it is basically a C-Moy in a nice wooden box.

yep that cmoy in wooden box is what I heard as well. But I don't care at all.Just want to know how much it improves.

  As much as I like my I+ I have never received a reply from David...

he's always been very prompt with me, and with good advice

I for one love my Garage 1217 Project Ember II. Got some tube rolling madness a couple of months back though. The sheer options are staggering since you can roll so many different types.

I've slowed down on the tube rolling now. Just enjoying my GH-1 with a few fav tubes.

I've never heard either your ef2a/RA-1…but I know the C-Moy in the tin box is much less expensive than the RA-1.

depends where you buy from, i got my RA-1 for wayy less than they cost new, and less than a CMOY.
 
having said this, i think i can say without the guilt of having paid a crapload of money for something, that the RA-1 sounds very nice with the RS-1 (and RS-2)
