Congrats on your 4000th post!
so they are all connected?
So is it better to have a very thick copper cable?

Thank's, I just noticed that myself.
Its not one solid wire, it is stranded wire.

  Do the PS1000 have the same cable as the PS1000e?  Do they both have G Cush ear pads as stock pads?  After reading most of this thread these questions are not clear! 

The PS1K has an 8 conductor cable and the (e) has a 12 conductor cable.

Thanks!

Here is a little investigation I did of just that, a while ago:  http://www.head-fi.org/t/520884/ps1000-impressions-thread/1620#post_11463376
 
In short, I compared the PS500 with G CUSH (i.e., PS1000) pads to the PS1000.  PS500 without GCUSH had similar sound, except not the high frequency detail of the PS100.  It also had a smaller sound stage... putting on the G CUSH increased the sound stage toward that of the PS1000, but the instruments as heard on the PS500 still sounded closer, with discrete positions and little sound coming from spots between instruments.  With the PS1000, they were more naturally blended as you focused your attention around the sound stage.
 
And trying to get into the momentary spirit of this thread...
 
Why do seagulls fly toward the sea?

 
I think that with their respective earpads, the difference in high frequency extension, and soundstage size, is so great, that it makes the PS500 and PS1000 two very different sounding headphones.
 
Oh!, and I say that the seagulls fly toward the sea because they like fish.

I'm a bit skeptical that, a cable that has12 coductors instead of 8 will make a difference, I mean, we're talking about 2 inch drivers, and about 1/2 watt of power, so how big a cable do we really need.
 
Grado started out by using 4 conductors cable, then 8, and now 12, when will this stop?.

The PS1000f will use 16 conductors cable for sure

Its not one solid wire, it is stranded wire.

but would it be better to use 10 seperate thin wires, or one thick "bar"?

 Stranded wire is flexible, solid is not, so they couldn't use it or it would break.
Stranded wire is also a better conductor than solid wire and has a higher resistance, so the stranded wire would definitely be best. The 115v-AC in your house uses solid wire.

I often read stories about people complaining about their cables breaking, twisting, or they're too long, too short, some would like to have bigger cables, others want smaller cables.
 
I don't understand why companies in general, Grado in particular, even bother with cables. Sennheiser makes very good sounding wireless headphones. Just imagine how great it would be, not having to deal with the issues described above.
 
I`m going to send Grado an email, requesting that they go wireless, and I invite you guys to do the same, Hopefully, if enough of us ask for this, they`ll listen.

I'm not waiting for Grado. I'm taking matters into my own hands. (Note that this is the 12 conductor cable).


And why is it that stacker45 writes "to" for "too" ("to long, to short") while joseph69 writes "too" for "to?" (last line here for example: http://www.head-fi.org/t/520884/ps1000-impressions-thread/1845#post_11585460) ("too personal preference")

(Ducks, gathers up all the Grados from the table, and runs like mad two hide in the bathroom!)

Good eye sir John, the correction is done.
 
I could kick myself for making a beginner's mistake like that. Of course, I could've hidden myself behind the fact that my native tongue if French, but the truth is, I know better, I simply wasn't paying enough attention, sorry, my bad.
 
Oh!, and the bathroom is the worst place to hyde from me. I have Crohn's desiese, so when I go somewhere, the bathroom is often the first place I visit.

Still no response from Grado about the channel imbalance. That's great.

Grado is going to tell you too send them in…so just request you want too do this (if you haven't already).

 

[pearljam50000]

Maybe return to the store you bought it from

They usually answer within 24 hours. Your question must've caught them off guard, be patient, they simply haven't figured out what B.S answer they're going to give you.

i believe joseph is correct, there isn't anything they can tell you, they are going to have to look at them

I'll have the PS1000 here later this week to do a side by side comparison to the LCD-X on my own excellent system, should be a fun shootout as the PS1000 has 100 hours on it, and the LCD-x should have as many by then.
