First things first, add another one to the Grado fanclub.
Now, so far, it has been an interesting ride observing the changes in my SR-60's. I'm a firm believer of burn in. I've observed it countless number of times with my father's equipment, albeit this is my first experience in the world of high fidelity and headphones.
At the very beginning everything seemed pretty well present...highs, mids, bass...all there, but oh man those highs were sharp. I not certain I've experienced cymbals in such a way before. I loved it, but it was definitely hot. After a while the highs remained nice and sharp and crisp, but became a bit more mellow and seemed to smooth out a bit, but a strange thing happened. I lost my bass....It really did just, for the most part, go away....I swore something was wrong but my dad said just listen and give it a bit more time. Well, sure enough, the bass came back, and oh man did it come back. It now punches nicely and just smoothly flows and grooves the bottom end oh so nice...McCartney on Rubber Soul...yeah, oh so nice. The midrange seemed to stay unchanged, very warm and present and, in my opinion, absolutely beautiful. I was really only finding complaints in separation. Now, the soundstage was decent, but not grand....but man of man....it just happened. Threw in Houses of the Holy...got to track two, The Rain Song...and WOW...here we have two guitars, bass, cello, and two violas, I believe, and I can't truley explain how the stage has finally opened up on these cans....Every part was so well separated and represented...it all just melted into my head...
These cans have really gone through some serious changes and have opened up so incrediably nice....I think that I'm in love....
Well, thanks for listening.
