Curious, the G cushions are suitable for the 500e? Sound quality won't suffer?
Anyone prefer the 225e over the RS2e? I've got both on hand now.
RS2e: sound stage is large, like you're in the audience. More relaxed, smooth sounding. Lots of detail.
225e: sound stage is smaller but more in your face. Like you're on stage. More upbeat, fun sounding. Not as much detail.
I think the RS2e is objectively better but subjectively, I find myself liking the 225e more.
Though maybe it's just the bum in me subconsciously trying to save myself money because they're both within the return window.

Hello Grado friends! A fan from Costa Rica joining in.
I bought my pair of Grado sr325is some years ago and I use them with G-Cushions and I love them to death. A couple of years ago I bought an Aune T1 and the sound improved a lot.
Right now I'm looking to upgrade my setup with a nice hadphone tube amp. I think I will stay using the T1 as a DAC since I've read it is pretty good if you upgrade the tube which I'm planning on doing soon. I have like a $400 budget for the tube amp. Should I get a LD 1+ and some nice tubes (since I know a lot of people say that it matches well the Grado's) or is there a better option for a bigger budget. I want an amp that I won't be replacing any time soon (I'd like to get a pair of RS1 in the future). I'm asking because there is no way for me to test some stuff and see what matches best my Grado's.
Forgot to mention that I listen mostly to classic rock through my computer to the Aune T1 to my headphones (for the moment)
Sorry for my English since it's not my native language. Thanks in advance!

As good as the 325e's are, the GS1000i's (with synergistic dac/amp/source and gently eq'd)
are pinnacle state-of the-art and my absolute favorites.
For me, properly setup, the Grado sound is magical.
