I don't think the maple itself is changing color, I think it's the finish that changes colors.  I overhauled my Polk SDA speakers and re-did the veneer in maple, then I used tung oil to finish it.  The tung oil has turned a beautiful honey amber color.  But that's the oil, not the wood.

I'm relaxing listening to Brian Culbertson's (Another Long Night Out) with my GH1 w/G and these are such relaxing HP's…they are extremely enjoyable and the sound just flows beautifully.

GH1, the Artist or both?
Either way, yes it is a good choice.

Both with the elections going on last night and keep you distracted from all the wrong analysis.

My GH1's got delivered today and I am very impressed right out of the box. Passed my Natalie Merchant, Holly Cole, Holly Williams, Alan Parsons and Colin Bass albums with flying colours.

Nice! And they just keep getting better with a little time on them, enjoy!

I've been listening with the L-cups for the past two nights and I have to say, I really missed the L cups. Sorry guys, no going back to G cups for me. I was wondering where this sound when.

I agree, after listening to the G Cups for a long time, going back to L cups is like "huh....this is different".
 
Not sure which I like better, but there is a big difference in sound. L Cups definitely make me "feel" the sound more.
 
There is no denying G Cups are 110% more comfortable, and for long listening I would probably switch to G.

I have to agree with you on the comfort. I find myself switching back to the G cups out of pure comfort. Honestly though both cups sound very good. It's actually kind of fun switching back and forth to get a slightly different sound. It's like having two pairs headphones

Can someone who's owned the 325i compare it to the GH1? Wondering if there is a really noticeable improvement for 2x the price.
 
I run my 325i through an Audioengine D1 DAC/Amp.

I had the MS2i and GH1 but at different times so this is from memory... The GH1 has more bass and softer highs. It is more of a tonal change than anything. The GH1 has more bloom in the bass for better or worse depending on your tastes.

Personally I think the PS500e would be the better upgrade path as they have flatter mids and cleaner bass (same highs) than the GH1.

I have the 325is/GH1 which I use G cushions and they are both excellent IMO/IME but are two entirely different HP's.
The GH1 is like having 2 pairs of HP's in one because they spun excellent with either the stock L cushions or the G cushions which ant be said for the majority of Grados.

As I listened for a few weeks now I must say I like my grado gh1 a lot. I need to get G-Cushions because I can't use the stock pads very long. Are these really 80 bucks?
