I am afraid of pulling on the earpieces too hard in case that is what caused the earpiece to come loose in my first set. -- Sanjay

The same happened to mine -- one of the earpieces simply fell off about 3 weeks after I got it. Sent it back for repairs, but I got the same ones back. If this is a common occurrence or defect, Grado should have a recall and upgrade the rod assembly to one that will stand up to normal wear. Still, I love the sound and am thinking of getting a second pair, but balanced this time around.

#1628 checking in. Burning in right now

#3304 just arrived today. Physically the woodwork is pristine. No
"Friday-afternoon" workmanship here.

Sonically, the usual pre-burnin complaints - boomy bass, recessed mids. Not sibilant though. Will have to run these in for more than a few hours. Hope things improve.

I need a better amp. I'd like to try bowls on these too.

Hey jpelg.....Congrats,

Im using bowls right now ( letting the bagels dry after a shampoo ). IMO soundstage is still there ( although obviously not as much ), sounds like a smoothed out more mellow RS-1 / 2. Glad to hear you received a nice looking pair, mine also show no signs of " Late Friday syndrome ", wood grain is very nice,colouration is dark, everything seems top notch.

I did however compare this pair with two others and one was very pitted (little black specs). Burning mine in right now also.....like what Im hearing.

Enjoy

Thanks!

I have an Eddie Current EC/SS on the way. Bowls are back-ordered, so I'll burn in the amp & cans with the bagels for a few weeks. Maybe I'll decide to like the big pads better *shrug*.

I should be a member of the club within a month. Going to order them from Drew on Thursday with a Black Dragon cable. Really looking forward to it.

I hope you enjoy them. Paired with your Opera looks like a winning combo.
