Guess what?! The G-cushions’ appearance improves dramatically after a good RS-1x listen with G-cushions…..
This is true. I would gravitate to any Grado with G cushions. Also, they look even better when coming from chunky headphones like the Empyreans.Guess what?! The G-cushions’ appearance improves dramatically after a good RS-1x listen with G-cushions…..

Maybe modded with new transistors/input stage. For higher input gain?
So I have just tested it with an old DAP (FiiO X3II) line out, and now I can play with 325x all the way to 9 o'clock which is loud but not quite too loud...
Maybe the amp is fine, and the Schiit Modi MB is a little hot with its output?
…and if you are (jay)willin’ to ask, we are (jay)willin’ to help………….I'm coming back ! I've been busy spending my play money on other things. now it's time to get back to the main thing, MUSIC ! (and the gear to listen to it)
I've had quite a few Grados and I'd say they are my favorite, not that I don't have other favorites, but Grados are special.
So here I am, after all this time, rebuilding a system.
I tell ya, I'm having a hard time deciding what to get, but boy it's fun lol
One thing I'll be asking about are the x's, I haven't heard any of them yet…and if you are (jay)willin’ to ask, we are (jay)willin’ to help………….
Grado service team confirmed this RA-1 seem genuine and nobody tampered with it.Maybe modded with new transistors/input stage. For higher input gain?
I think you doSo I hadn't touched my PS500e in...a while. Went to grab them off my headphone stand and I think I need new pads. lol
I think you do
As far as I know it has a single OP amp, no discrete transistors, it's very close to a CMoy.Maybe modded with new transistors/input stage. For higher input gain?
You can periodically soak/clean the pads with very light dish soap / ivory / ??, towel damp / air dry ===> lengthen pad life & reduce pad scratchiness.This is the worst part of Grado headphones - the pads deteriorate. It's why I'm so glad I found that I enjoyed the Dekoni Velour pads on my Hemps so much. They're not foam and should last significantly longer.
No discrete transistors are in the circuit.Maybe modded with new transistors/input stage. For higher input gain?
