Yeah not a good thing to do as RS1i's are very unique headphones..
Perhaps you will source another?

I've done twice lol. Although sometimes a bit too bright for my liking, I always miss that lively sound.
Grados perhaps are the most soulful headphones that you can buy in the world.

Question: I have an RS1i. It's driver has a hue of light red/pink when I look/peek at it with a flashlight. Are this true for all RS1i's?

Presumably, those are 1e's rather than 1i's.

Diamondears, you've got the toy in the Cracker Jacks my friend, Wilky Wonka's golden ticket, a $500 pull tab winner. I'll leave it to others more knowledgeable to explain what a cool pair of hp's you've there.

You might have the famous pink drivers

For a very short time, before the official announcement of the "e" Series, Grado was selling 'RS1i's' with RS1e drivers (indicated by their red color).

Ok,
To clarify if viewing from the outside air chamber and you see red paint like lipstick on centre base then these are e series drivers.
If looking at inside chamber through ear side chamber and these are pink hue, then these are vintage rs1 grados.
If you look through outside vent into the cup and place ear side driver up to bright light then a small circumferential ring of red/pink may be visible surrounding the main diaphragm. These are part of all grado manufacturing process.
Diamondears can you post a picture of your cans?
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that reply XLR8. Mine's definitely not an "e" driver. No red paint at the back of the driver (far side). I see pink hue only when looking over or with bright light. Only pinkish hue inside or part of the driver.

Needless to say, amazing cans this is. If I buy other cans it would definitely only out of curiousity.

Will try to post pic later btw.

What kind of an amp would I need to do these justice? Would my Fiio e17 be able to do them right?
