What is the reason to buy a silver cable before you even listened to the Z1r? I listen to music and not to chemical elements like silver.I know the following is subjective. I prefer my original ps1k to the ps2ke that got destroyed here. I figured the sony would be a different "off the beaten path" choice for me. I am just asking you guys would you rather have the z1r or the ps2ke? I know they are very different but just wondering which folks would rather have? I love grado, have but one issue. comfort. Other than that wondering how you guy's would compare them to the more mainstream products such as hd800s and utopia? Just trying to get a grasp on their sound. I always tell everyone to listen. I am not preaching my own words because this time I cannot listen. I highly doubt I would buy grey market. So the z1r plus the silver cable is a lot of money and wondering if it is worth it? would you just stop at the sony upgrade cable? I see other people do have cable.
Sound wise, the Z1r is probably totally different to all gear you know, including your Grados. Most of the people in this tread adore this different sound. No cable and no amp will change it very much. I love it from the Sony WM1A DAP using the included balanced cable. Be prepared that it might take some time to get used to the Z1r. I came from the Z7, so I was prepared already.
