I have a question. Is the WA7 or WA6 better for my Grados?

 

[wormsdriver]

it can happen if they've been in the sun, washed with certain soaps, wet from sweat, not used for a time, or just old.

  Comparing the Grado Headphones:  Part 3 - The On Ear Professional & Prestiges:  PS500, SR325e, SR225i
 
The PS500 of the Professional Series shares the cup construction of the over-ear PS1000, in which a wood cup is encased within a tightly-fitting metal cup.  Grado indicates that this construction reduces unwanted resonances.  The SR325e and SR225i are the top and second members of the Grado Signature Series.  Like the PS500, both have the over-ear pads that are bowls, known as L.  The SR325e has a metal cup; the cup of the SR225i is plastic.
 
Here are the results:
 

 
It is amazing that overall preference scores of the PS500, SR325e, and SR225i are equal.  The PS500 had larger sound stage and stronger bass than the other two.
 
Even more surprising is the fact that EACH of the 10 comparisons for the SR325e and SR225i were the same.  As mentioned in the conclusions above, the SR325 is known as being the brightest of the Grado headphones, while the SR225 is middle of the road.  I went back and checked this conclusion and it was still true, at least for my ears.  Perhaps the deeper bass and tamer trebles for which the -e series is known has brought its brightest member, the SR325e, close to the SR225i, of the brighter series i.  I would ask anyone who has both the SR325e and SR225i to compare them and see if they could confidently state which was which in a blind test, and if so, by what characteristics.
 

I have both and the 325e has much more bass than the 225i

I have both and the 325e has much more bass than the 225i

Normally, I would think so, too, as the -e series across the line increases the bass over the -i series,

However, as the brightest Grado headphone, the SR325e, though bossier than the SR325i, for me ends up having the same amount of subbass as the SR225i, which makes sense to me because the SR225 line is overall less bright than the SR325 line.

Hence, for me, the greater bass of the SR325e over the SR325i is compensated by the greater bass of the Sr225 line over the SR325 line.

Living on a Knife Edge, from the Sonic Attack album from 1981 by Hawkwind. If you like it and are interested in the album, I would give the title track Sonic Attack a miss. The rest of the album rocks.

This happens to me in 1 or 2 years. Funny thing is sometimes it happens to cans that are left in storage.

If the 325e is appropriately eq'd to reduce the over-bright treble - it comes into
its own and in my opinion becomes transformed into a supremely musical
Grado and might be the overall best Grado for the price - (at least for me).


Eq'ing the treble down appropriately reduces the brightness, glare and etch to
give a very well balanced, slightly aggressive (mainly in the upper mids)
but to my ears really enjoyable Grado - comparing very well with the GS1000i's
in listening enjoyment....the 325e is very open and clear and very insightful/musically
communicative, while also being nicely/appropriately warm and very intimate sounding.

Sounds great at lower listening volumes, while still conveying satisfying weight, texture and presence!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

 

[HungryPanda]

Yes Happy Thanksgiving a day to kick back and listen to some tunes

 

[GreenBow]

Sorry, I have not googled what Thanksgiving is, and never was told what is was. Have a blast though!
 
Did anyone listen to the Youtube track I posted five posts above by Hawkwind? One of the best least known bands ever, and still playing forty odd years later.
