Good point. I never considered the pads. With the bowl pads, they also seem compress a little after intially putting them on. This could "warm" up the sound a little by placing the drivers a little closer to the ears and making a beter seal aound the outer ears.

However, I still think changes are mostly due to perceptual adaption.

Good suggestion and easy to test thanks. In fact I will leave some music playing!

are you using the bowl pads? if so have you washed them? I found they mold quicker with a good washing and drying. Just a thought.

its probably all the other gear in your line warming up is what you hear..even a solid state crap home receiver will have its warm up time.

is the gear powered up rite before or long before you listen to your grados..
