These 1949 RCA Victor "grey" glass ever so slightly "pull back" the reins on RS1x - a wonderful pairing

I find myself often gravitating to the "G" pads - also highly enjoy the "f"s from time to time - but as someone who seeks out Row A/Mezzanine at (many) live performances - the "G's" are my "seat" of choice for most listening sessions -- all highly personal, of course. For sound-stage junkies, like me, the "G's" are a strong consideration to have in rotation. The "Gs" can afford Grado enthusiast "best of both worlds" - an intimate (Grado) experience - without sacrificing depth/width.

In my experience, F pads on rs1x is just abuse towards the headphone. Terrible pairing.

Wow, I think i'll try another brand as it seems as if Grado's make people overly pedantic and obnoxious, the Grado fan club, the only place on headfi where they don't understand what mid forward means

You want headphones from a company that refuses to make headphones with a detachable cable, and we're overly pedantic and obnoxious!?

Not sure I see the relevance and equally unsure as to why you're on the Grado fan club forum if you don't like their headphones, I asked a genuine question
which I probably would have got more response and less emojis if I'd asked on mumsnet

I'm old what's Mumsnet ?

Well, I'm not certain it arrises to a "battery" standard

The good news is you (apparently) have identified the sound-signature you most enjoy and can keep driving to maximize against it with your pairings/chain.

A bizarre criterion for choice of headphone …
