The best Grado I have heard is Joe Grado modded HP1000.
joe modded them? what did he do to them and how did it change them (and at what cost)?

pcf, that's an impressive grado collection you have there!
It would have been more impressive if I had at least one Grado from the current production line.
But I have a SR40 (too embarrassed to list that in my info)!
*Some reminders from Joe:
Don't leave the headphones in the box with the foam- especially the blue foam that came with older Grados.
Put them in one gallon ziploc bags and hang them up.
Take the earpads off every few weeks and wash them in mild detergent. Air dry them afterwards.*
Does the foam from the box break down and get places it shouldn't? And presumably the earpads need to be bone-dry before they get ziplocked into a bag.... is this bit advice the same for the RS-1s and all Grados with wood? That is, sealing them up in a ziploc? Thanks. I need to know more about care-and-feeding than I do. I bet I'm not the only one.
What about those buttonless RS-1s? They seem to be reasonably current.
Congrats. Although Grados don't need a long burn in they'll benefit from around 20-40 hours worth. Wear them for a week and switch back to the 60 and you'll see where the improvements are. Enjoy.
