I’m sure someone must have mentioned this before.

But why doesn’t headfi have different threads for different Grado models?

I want to find specific info on a particular model, but have to wade through 4000 pages!!!

I mean why can’t a thread be dedicated to Hemp model, another for Rs1x for example?

You could simply type "Hemp" in the "Search this thread..." box at the top of any page and see what comes up...

Yes. Beyer perforated. I think @TheMiddleSky say that the Beyer Perforated is closer to the G pads while the Beyer full leather is closer to the stock F pads.

The adapter is a bit loose but it won't fall off. It's quite secure. Once on the head, it's very comfortable.

Man, I need to buy these. My birthday is next week -- present to me!

It's easy to start a thread. Go ahead. It's quite Darwinian here. If it succeeds you will be hailed as an hero should be. If however it fails and withers only to die on the vine, then you must retreat to the west, only to be remembered in the sad laments of your kinfolk.**

Been watching LoTR & GoT's too much...

He who never try will never fail but then he will never grow.

He who never Grado will grow old not knowing how a Grado sound and that will be tragic !

Whenever I need a comforting sound, I reach for the 325x with ZMF pads. You will not hear a headphone with so much air and yet have a tint of warmth and bass that pulsates through your internal organs.

Btw I'm getting this for my Grado(s).

Can you use this amp on a beach?

You can but you need a beach umbrella.

RS-1x with XLR amplifier-end termination (post #60,463) has arrived and has undergone ~50 hours of break-in. Even at this stage, with Liquid Platinum (RCA ‘clear top’ 12AU7s), RS-1x is breathtaking. This headphone / amp pairing is celestial.

[Besides the optimisation for balanced operation by LP, I cannot help but think that the one-piece construct of the XLR plug (versus the two-piece 3.5mm/6.3mm TRS plug) is better for the sound.]

You have 2 RS1X ? I think you're gone too far down the Grado rabbit hole.

I think it’s because so many people own multiple Grados and many questions apply to more than one model - so they would be posting the same question in multiple threads.

It might work to have a “Grado Pads” thread and an “Amps for Grados” thread.

You bring up a very interesting point. No other brand has owners owning multiple headphones from same company at different price points.

I see many owners here with Grados from Different ranges and many cases same model from different generation.

I myself at 1 point had 4 grados!!!!!!

4th day with the gs1000x

Low-end/bass is improving there are those "peaks" mentioned earlier now to be heard in the low-end/bass/drum kicks...
Everything is settling down/falling into place where it is destined to be (overall sound presentation)...

A Corda Rock! Someone there loves microdynamics.

Which brings up the (perennial ?) question: is the plural of Grado “Grados” or “Gradi”? [Asked before, but worth debating / arguing …]
