They're good for listening to 64kbps files of Pitbull and the sounds of dogs crapping
Dont forget Bieber.

MarkM1, I understand the Schiit Asgard works very well with Grado's. I'm thinking about getting one myself.
I actually LOVE the T1's, but I still love Grado RS1i's with flat pads more for anything that rocks out a lot. I found on rock recordings where I liked the transparency/detail etc. of the T1,
For the other stuff there are more moments for me where the fact that the RS1i colors the sound works to my great benefit in that it renders lousy recordings enjoyable.
and the T1 is a KILLER all arounder! They almost make me able to forgo the Grados.
In a couple of words, the tape improved the bass, the shortening of the cushions was an additional improvement to the bass as well as the midrange at the expense of a little soundstage, but not nearly as much as the flats, in my opinion. I put 5965s instead of the 12ax7s in the amp to control the treble. I do have to say that I cut them down by less than 1/4", probably 3/16". I just experimented with pressing the cups in until I liked the sound, which ended up being about 3/16" closer to my ears.
thanks much!
was this on the huge pads or the bowls that come with RS1i's? sorry , i just want to be sure i know where i'm starting from as i have a pair of each here.
One day I might add something like an LCD-2 to compliment my RS1i. I need something, in the far future, completely different tonally (dark vs bright) and although I would love to try a T1 the descriptions I've read are that they are too similar to justify having both. I would agree that the RS1i are very good at what they do an especially good are not completely ruining low bitrate music.
