Thank you for the welcome RASMUSHORN,
 
So you're telling me I spent $ 45.00 for G-pads just to destroy the good sound
of my brand new 325is's ? Well that's bad news. We'll have to see. I'll do comparisons
as I go along. I was just trying to get set-up properly  from the beginning with the recommended
peripherals.
These GRADO's are sounding really fine so far.
I do appreciate the coaching.

I wouldn't listen any other way than with 325is and G-Cush.  Totally makes the sound better, IMHO.

Well it depends on if you like the edgy, punchy, forward, in-your-face sound of the SR325i. Those are the things I really like with the 325's. When using the G-cushions you remove a lot of the forward mids and the intimacy of the sound. You might find that you like that even better than it's original sound... I just think that's a shame. But wait and see. Do some listening and come back here and tell us what you like best

I personally am not a fan of the sound with G-Cushes.  Makes it simbilant, weakens bass, makes mids more distant.

And they are simply breathtaking.

Out of my NAD 7220PE playing the late Johnny Cash's "American IV: The Man Comes Around" is one of the most engaging experiences of all time. My go to eargasm album. If anyone is looking for an album that plays on every sweet spot of the SR325is, that's where you need to start looking.

Simbilant ? Is that a cross between 'simian' and 'sibilent' ? Quite a frightening image if it is.

Hey guys, does anyone know where i can recable the 325i, not too good with DIY stuff, so i rather let someone else do it for me.
 
Live in Toronto, so local would be good, if not i can always ship it to somewhere else.

Possibly my most successful buy in head-fi history. I love my goldies so badly that, I am ready to sell everything but these little marvels

Could you send the same PM to me too? I might also be interrested. 

 

[Nachkebia]

Same! I am also interested in recabling!
