When I first joined this forum, I bought PX100's after the many praises. Was perfectly happy with them. After about 6 months I aquired ES7's. Loved them. Was finally able to find a pair of HD580's after months of searching and thought I was finally satisfied. Then one day on a whim, I traded an amp and PDCP for some MS1's. After a couple of weeks I noticed that I was not using the ES7's which were for my at work rig. A couple of months later, I was able to trade a Nikon lens for some 325i's. It wasn't to long after this that not only have I quit listening to my 580's at home, but I also responded to a WTB 580 add this week. What in the hell has happened to me? Have I always been a closet Grado fanboy?

My first real headphone was the SR80 and ever since then I became a Grado-boy.

When I use my HD580, I think about my Grados. However, I do love my HD580 for jazz and classical but for everything else Grado does it for me.

Hey, its just that you like 1 flavour (sound signature) more than another, nothing wrong with that.

You - like Grado
Fitz - like AKG

see, works out.

Yes I see that, but for the last year or so I thought I was a Senn fan.

I am a bona-fide Grado fanboy (4 pairs of phones + Reference Platinum phono cartridge). Welcome to the club.


...although, I just got a set of AKG 701s and I am starting to see a shift.

I bought 325is only about 2 months after getting my SR-60s

You know, I always though I was a bonafide Grado fanboy until I found out about orthodynamics and electrostatics. hahaha, just a little warning for what comes down the line.

 

[ronnielee54]

Stop it now!

 

[FooTemps]

lol, don't worry about it too much. It's kinda hard to break into the planar driver stuff unless someone is liquidating their collection on head-fi.

I loved my SR-80s until I bought some Ultimate Ears Triple-fi 10's.

Seriously, the SR-80 sounds low-fi, in comparison.

Now you've done it....

Well, you're no longer in the closet. It's OK. You're not alone and the Sennheiser and AKG people will accept you as you are.

Now that you're comfortable with your orientation, you need to buy the RS-1. You have to. I'm pretty sure that's in the Terms of Use. After that, you're going to put a Gold cartridge on a turntable.

I was thinking about a pair of 325is but realised that I would eventually upgrade to the RS-1. Decided to go 'straight to jail'. Did not pass go or 60,80,125,225,325 or RS2.

Haven't look back!

Grado has opened my eyes to better sound.

My first pair was a pair of SR225's. About a month later, I ended up picking up the MS2. Next up? RS1.
