That D&G Grado looks...
Like a GS1000i
That's just weird.

Hi guys! Off topic .
I recently bought Adele`s single CD called " Skyfall " and I am very disappointed with the quality of the recording. It isn`t the singer`s vocal, but the poor soundstage impact or less lively recording. It seems that studio recording quality sucks nowadays. I did try other current CD`s such as Train etc... same new shi.....!
I bought an old CD by Christopher Cross "Sailing" and the recording ,soundstage , bass impact , etc... feels I am in the music... I lot better!
Is it me or I am hearing the poor recording quality trend?
Christopher Cross "Sailing "
Soundstage is a lot better here.

Adele`s Skyfall
In the beginning it sounds a bit better, but in the middle(Chorus) and end instruments sound start to compress, and the orchestra does not put you into the music....

i downloaded skyfall the other day and after i saw this comment i decided to listen to it, and i agree, the quality is really bad. compressed and lacks any soundstage or any feeling of a live recording.
if you do a spectral analysis (yes, this is the lossless version as well), you can see the loudness/distortion, as well as the better sounding intro which due to the lower volume, has more dynamic range. most new recordings are like that unfortunately, especially mainstream stuff.
Is it me or is that cable a little thin, looks a lot like my first gen GS1000's cable

Yeah, I think it's weird too and it'll take some time to digest... Perfume maker endorsed headphones..Grados!
At least it's something new, which doesn't happen too often with Grado.

Won't that hair get into the drivers? lol...
Don't know if anyone has come across or mentioned this before, but it caught my eye that the past couple days Grado Labs has paired up w/ Dolce & Gabbana to provide "fashion headphones" called DS2012. They simply look like GS1000(i) that were re-branded with the fashion name to justify the bumped up price tag of $1250. I could be wrong here and perhaps Grado did update the GS1000 for this offering, but I simply don't know (especially with what little information I have come across). At the very least it looks like Grado headphones are finally given an upgrade from the "pizza box." Let's hope that there were other changes.
Re-signing in with the PS1000! Just arrived
thanks for the answers! I have my trust in my 325, it must be the mix..
