Will test them against gh2, hemp, and ps 1000e sometime in the future.

Should be an easy and straightforward test. Like testing a Corvette against a Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari

I once owned a Lada as in cars.. Could be a hidden gem.

Anyone here still rocking a vintage pairs Grado RS1's ? Recently picked up the Dekoni Velour pads and am very much enjoying them with my RS1's !

Thanks for sharing. Any impressions of the difference with the Dekoni compared to the stock flat pads the original RS1 came with and designed to.

Well guess who’s got an (almost) birthday PS2000e on the way lol. Hopefully this will conclude my Grado purchasing bender. Until they release a PS X series.

Really enjoying the PS-series Grados this weekend. PS500e is awesome. PS1000 is coming back into the fold too since it seems to scale well. Driving it balanced from a Headroom Max Balanced is such an engaging experience. I figured out to turn ON the filter (bumps up upper mids & treble) and OFF the crossfeed to counteract the effect of too much bass with the reversed G pads. So I'm sorta using the old Headroom controls as a kludgey, mild EQ. The "crossfeed" effect is much more apparent for its boost to bass than it is for changes to head-staging. Yeah, I see the value of using Grados with an EQ. The PS500e with deluxe flats is closer to the "right" balance as-is, so it sounds great either with filter and crossfeed both on, or all off (flat). Having filter & crossfeed both on does make the sound a bit more lively and exciting, though.

I've also noticed that the PS500e has very low listening fatigue for a Grado. You can listen reasonably loud for longer, no problem. The PS1000, I have to stop after a while.

Congratulations, an excellent score. If second hand check with the seller as these really like a lot of break in time, 200 hours minimum. Keep us posted as to your impressions.

Great headphone. If it is the original black chrome finish Formula F11 top coat is one of the best solutions to keep them looking like pristine new always.

….enjoying the many virtues of the PS500e which are ably manifested by support from the Lyr 3 (tubes are GEC L63 / CV1067)

….and with the TTVJ deluxe flats, note the height of the pad around the driver…

When do you have ordered your TTVJ Deluxe Pads? Your ones look like the F-Pads and different to my posted ones!?

I ordered these ten days ago from ‘Todd The Vinyl Junkie’ website. They are definitely ‘taller’ around the driver than are the stock Grado F-pads.

Oh yeah, Lyr likes Grados, Grados like Lyr. My Lyr is silver, maybe your black one sounds darker? NO

Certainly new cups: the hemp is definitely darker / denser looking than before the repair / replacement. AND, they sound great: a wee bit less detailed than RS1x, with airiness-great soundstage-kick in the bass. Very engaging! Fun!

+1 agree very much with that description

Considering to try the new mojo2.
My earmen sounds great,but everybody talking about mojo.
Compared to my tr-amp the mojo have:
More power,EQ,crossfeed,smaller,no MQA(not fan of MQA), more inputs++

Are you using the EQ with your Grados?

I was using my 325x with iFi Gryphon yesterday for 2+ hours, and loved the combo!
The Gryphon has an awesome implementation of bass boost, which worked wonders with the 325x
I would highly recommend considering the Gryphon as an option, too.

Expect a increase on the bass, then. That's the impression I had with the Chinese pads that had an increase in height next to the drive
