The hemp pads seems similar to the ttvj deluxe flat, now I have a sr325x with mixed pads. I m not sure but I doubt they can change the sound, should I buy a new pair of pads? Here in Italy a pair of flat cost about 40€!

Respect mate, but I believe you cannot generalize as it very much depends also on what tubes you are using. I have changed both pairs (soviet Foton 6N6P and Tungsram E88CC) so the sound I have, most surely differs from yours.The Schiit Valhalla 2 is not a great tube amp, imo. I didn’t like it because I found it bright and not so smooth. I prefer my MG Head DT and it works great with my Grados in transformer mode.
Cheers.

Probably RS1i drivers in this eBay listing?
No way they are “original”. If current market price on an RS1i is $300, then what do you think these restomod RS1 buttons will go for? 2days left

I also tried changing the tubes but I stuck with the stock power tubes I think. I tried JJ, EH, and Genalex 6922’s. I didn’t really find it very warm sounding and didn’t keep it.
Also I should mention, I never tried it with Grados.
I heard the Valhalla 2 is going to be discontinued?

Plus, one can use 12AU7 / ECC82 tubes, 12AT7 / ECC81 tubes with adapters in lieu of 6N1P / 6922 / E88CC - a fair amount of sonic adjustment is possible in Valhalla 2.Respect mate, but I believe you cannot generalize as it very much depends also on what tubes you are using.

Ah yes, I remember that now. I tried some various 12AU7’s and 12AT7’s in there with the adapters, I thought it was worse.
But I think I was using it mostly as a pre amp and again didn’t try it with Grados.

Interesting, I have a pair of buttons that were serviced by grado in Jan 2023, I suspect they had replaced the original drivers with RS-2x drivers. They're getting a lot of my head time. The frequency response is perfect for my ears. I call them my RS-1.5X's.Probably RS1i drivers in this eBay listing?

Spending the afternoon listening to a lot of different music with the RS1x (G pads for a change from L and F pads). Great to be retired!!!
Although I've never had the opportunity to hear the 325 you have pictured--I've always loved their cylindrical shaped cups.I'm listening to the original 325 right now, and it is a freaking fantastic tuning. I wish they would bring this back more! I like this better than all their subsequent iterations hands down.
PS: the original 325 was black aluminum with shorter cylindrical shaped cups and black star drivers.
EDIT: I've owned my 325is for ~10yrs and love their raw Grado sound!
