  I did not like them with my RS1i......kind of liked them with 225i.....still liked the L cushions the best

I like the (L) cushions the best on the SR/RS models as well.
 
Didn't have time to congratulate you on your RS1 properly before…so congratulations on your RS1 and hope you enjoy them very much!!! 

 
I remember the day you posted you were selling your RS1i…my response was 

.
Glad to hear your back with the RS1.

Thanks Joseph.
 
It was hard to let those cans go, but they went to a good home, and I am glad of that.
 
That is also what the seller of these cans said to me....I told him I would take good care of them .
 
The seller told me he has owned three RS1 headphones, and would more than likely own a fourth.

  Maybe someone at Grado headquarters forgot. 

 
 
I have no idea when they were bought.......really is not even a concern of mine....they have what I want.....small cable, 1/4" headphone jack.
....and I can play them louder now with this set-up......louder than I have ever been able to play Grado's.....they still sound wonderful at low volume levels too.

 
I agree, it's no big deal, but I just think that the more informations we have, the better. I think that we should take advantage of the Grados that have a serial number. It can be very helpful, especially on the used market. 
 
Humour me for a second Whirl. Suppose that Grado made a change for better, or worse on their RS1, during this model's production run, if we know one Trooper has the ''old'' version and his RS1's serial number is 2000, and another Trooper owns the ''improved'' version, and he has number 2100. 
 
Now, say I'm looking to buy a used pair of RS1, and the seller tells me he has number 2147, I'll know right away that it's the ''improved'' version. Helpful, don't you think?

 
 
 
 

  Well according to Mercuttio, the serial numbers didn't come into play until sometime during the Classic or Semi-Vintage era. There's no way to pinpoint the exact time, my best guess just from reading that thread is sometime around 2005 Grado started doing it. @whirlwind's pair must be before that if there is no number.

 
Thanks, that's good to know.

Yeah, the more information the better.....I just meant for me myself, i don't care that there is no serial number.....they have the features that i was interested in....I could not imagine an rS1 that did not sound good, other than some of the early RS1e series.

Do you have any plans to try out different cushions?
 
I tried out mine with the originally intended flat pads from TTVJ, needless to say I still haven't found a Grado that I like them with.

 

I prefer the Flats instead the L or S , they're more comfortable and they give me the feeling that the sound is more "flat" (closer to the HP1000)!
 
I'm looking for a "backup" pair so if you're willing to let them go just ket me know

 

[speedking]

nice! When you get a chance, please posts some pictures. I'm sure nobody around here would mine.

Here they are! In the meantime i was listening lps with my modified Grado Platinum!

I'll probably just keep them. Eventually I'll find a Grado that they're suited for.
 
Awesome photos by the way! Love that improvised hanger for the HP1000.

speaking of Joseph Grado Signature Cables;
 
the cable used on the powerblock feeding my PH-1 is also a JGS cable for some reason. it's very flexible. does anybody know why they would have used those for this purpose? (it delivers power, not audio signal)

''I HATE YOU'' This is what some Troopers are possibly thinking to themselves after looking at your Hi-Fi porn pics.
 
Seriously though! I agree with krud484, you might want to rethink that improvised ''headphones stand'', your HP1000 deserve better, don't you agree?

 
Looking at your pictrues has kind of a mirror effect for me, and it makes me realise how lucky I am, or should I say, how lucky we both are, to own these very rare components.

hahaha. i was so jealous for a moment.
 
i see that the "rare" interconnect is still available online? http://www.radiowinkel.com/a-14982591/grado-accessoires/grado-signature-interconnect/

I would like to order one of those Grado RCA cables, but I have a problem. I admit that computers are not my forte, but that link brings me to what looks like a German website. This may surprise you, but German is not my forte either.  

 
Help me....please!

i can tell that German isn't your strongest point from the fact that you think Dutch is German
 
i think the best thing you could do is to email them, asking if they ship to [your country], if the cost would be ridiculous high, and that you need some guidance in paying (most dutch people know their english quite well so i have no doubt that they'll assist you very well)
