Thanks...yes I was aware of the webpage but there doesn't seem to be an option to purchase or info on where to buy. Sent them an email...I'll hunt one down if I think it's one to try.

AC or Battery powered? It does like Grado phones and they usually like it.I just got these for 110EUR incl. post. I just had to buy it, altough I don't really need (meaning I absolutely don't need) a new headphone amp.
But they are such beauties!

Anyone have any F cushions they don’t want anymore?

Well the two are quite different from my initial listen:
1x - warmer, detailed and full sound, mids are more forward in the mix. Very musical. Reminds me of the GH2 so far.
2x - little brighter, more detailed than the hemp, very clear and clean sound with good instrument separation, mids are further back in the mix compared to the 1x. Really good with instrumental tracks (like the RS2e)
That’s based on about an hour and half on each, will be interesting to see if that changes as they burn in / I get used to them.

If you can, try the RS-1x with G-cushions…

They’re cemented on my head at the moment, really beautiful sound with everything I throw at them.

Grado RA-1 Headphone amp. They are long discontinued. Rather simply OP-amp based headphone amp. But! I also had 47 Lab stuff and they were also like...super cheap looking weird things. With exceptional sound quality I must add. I do think the Grado did the exact same thing that 47 Lab made later. I fact I am thinking about buying a Shigaraki USB DAC (if I ever find one) just to match with these amp. Bonsai audio!
And I bet it would sound absolutely sublime with my RS-1 classic.jeremiahl

Omg... noo... you have just brought me down another rabbit hole... eBay alert has been set up!Grado RA-1 Headphone amp. They are long discontinued. Rather simply OP-amp based headphone amp. But!

These are a good approximation - I prefer them on my hemps, as they are slightly brighter upper mid and treble.

I was actually looking at these but some people were saying it makes them more bassy witch I don’t want. Is that true or should I be ok with these? I’m hoping they wouldn’t sound any different than the F Cush. I don’t seem to care for the Original S Cush for
Some reason on the SR80s.
They're not identical to the F cushion, but the big change (although quite subtle) is in the upper mid and treble. The bass is just as punchy - if you want to reduce bass output from an F pad, then an L pad is a much bigger change to the tonality. Geekria's L pad is almost an identical copy of the Grado version.
At the end of the day, these are cheap enough to try them out, and if you don't like them you've not lost a lot. I bought every version of the Geekria pads to try them all out on my 325e and Hemps, and still change them depending on my mood and music.

Interesting maybe I’ll have to just buy all of them then since that would probably equal to the amount of one real Grado f or g Cush lol
