Been really enjoying my 325X but those cables.... just evil! So took a chance on the Beautiful Audio Grado Cable Adapter.

Was nervous about doing surgery to a new headphone, but all turned out well. Now I can use the aftermarket cables I was using for my Focals with the 325X. I also added a ZMF Pilot Pad. Same great Grado sound, but infinitely better comfort and usability.

So sweet... MS1 First Edition

I once had an MS1e with the flatter cups like these but these are prettier... I am digging that look

I just bought a second hand from Reddit, and repainted it to look more beautiful.

So once more, I will be buying something I really don't need....Cannot wait to get to NY to pick up the RS-1X Really excited to see how they compare especially with the GH2 (and the Hemps and the GS2ke and the GW100 and the HF3 and the SR80)......

This is perhaps the first time in years that I'm back to Head-fi.

Just feel the need to REALLY say this: do NOT use your Grado wireless without aptX (or AAC for that mattter). With the default codec - on Windows for example, the quality is just horrible.

How are Alessandro Music headphones relate to Grado?
Co-developed? OEM'd by Grado? Rebuilt by Alessandro using genuine Grado drivers?

To my knowledge Alessandro gave instructions of specific needs and Grado would OEM for them. Pretty sure but not positive.

I would love to hear your thoughts on them vs the GH2's!

FWIW: My GW100 sounds terrific with AAC on an iphone and with L pads…(eventually I concluded that these are the “best”)

Me too will let you know eventually….

Before the SR60/80/125/225/325, there was the SR100/200/300. This was a short-lived line that used leftover HP1000 drivers that didn't meet HP3 standard, and was discontinued in 1993 after John Grado replaced Joseph Grado as the CEO. The HP1000 drivers were made by a company in Singapore that no longer exists. For a while their web site was still online with a description of the OEM driver. Some sleuths eventually uncovered a shipping label from the company to New York City, supporting this hypothesis. So these drivers are about 30 years old.

Don't bother Grado about these. The remaining HP1000 drivers for service purposes were held by Joseph Grado, and he ran out of them shortly before he passed.

The Grado following is unlike other manufacturers in the audio world.

Cheers to the sleuths.
