Tested it with youtube 60Hz test my ears are shaking it was a rather tight subbass tone
Thank you so much! One of my 10 acoustic tests, which happens to use a 32 Hz tone, is the ONLY one that my GS1000i do poorly (on the other hand, the GS1000e is not the best Grado on several of them!). As a result, I go to my HiFiMAN HE1000s for subbass ecstasy. However, a recent comparison between them and my GS1000i showed that overall, aside from subbass, the GS1000i excelled on more acoustic tests than the HE1000.
The other concern I have is that the GS1000e, unlike the GS1000i, has a "tubbiness" to its bass. If the GS2000e uses the same 50 mm drivers as the GS1000e (and NOT the GS1000i, which uses 44 mm drivers), then I fear that it may have the same tubbiness. However, my PS1000e, which uses that same driver, does not have that tubbiness.
Hence, if the GS2000e keeps the strengths of the GS1000i (and sounds like, with its great transparency and soundstage, that it does), it might become The Perfect (for me) Headphone with the addition of palpable subbass.
GS1000i bests the GS1000e in all areas except "bass finger pluck," a measure of treble detail.
GS1000i wins all acoustic categories over the HiFiMAN HE1000 except for subbass (and HE-6 wins on treble detail).
Seems like a great three-way comparison would be the GS1000i (my favorite so far), the GS2000e (as a likely improvement), and the GH1 with G cush (as it uses the maple wood that is part of the GS2000e.) So... GS1000i? check! GH1? check! GS2000e? hmm... must be here somewhere among my 25 Grados... oh rats... I haven't bought one (yet!).
