The RS1 has a very unique, woody sound, you will like it.

Can try your RS1 with ZERO DAC running OPA Earth or not? U know stormspider, he is getting the OPA as well.

My GS1K reached my doorstep this afternoon...

RS1 indeed carries an unique SQ which not found in other cans.

outdoorxplorer, congratulations!! You're truly a Grado fan.

How does the GS1K sound compared to the RS1?

the soundstage is even more wider than rs1 but it was previous under utilized as the 1st owner ran the can < 150 hour after 5 months. this can really needs some serious run in which i was told..

Does it still retain the grado signature or does it not sound like a grado at all?

nope.. the statement series is completely different sound signature. even my remastered ms1 carries a different sound signature now. he he.

Received the prematured GS1K from Taiwanese. The can is under utilized and it was used less than 100 hours while it was in Taiwan. I am currenlty cooking it with Pink Noise/BurnInWaveGenerator fed via RSA Predator... I am double boiling 2 pieces of wonderful items together.

The can is getting better day after day when it is listen with my RSA Emmeline XP-7.

Added on September 22, 2008, 9:30 amMany says RAPTOR is not a good bet for Grado GS1000 and in fact many Tube/Valve Amps are not the amps for low impendence cans. I kinda decided to have a go to order a RAPTOR and get some tubes roling. Positive feedback with Telefunken and Tung-Sol tubes as I read from Head-Fi last week.

Someone is selling the raptor for SGD1700 in Jaben forum (SG)
you must register in order to view the audio equipment garage section.

Why is a RSA Raptor sale doing in the Grado thread???

This is it.

That was a complimentary statement in regards to grado and raptor synergies...

I prefer pairing my GS1000 with the sr-71a instead of my raptor. Since i've tube rolled my raptor for the hd650, changing the stock 12AU7 to the Mullard CV491 military 12AU7, it increases the soundstage of the raptor by twice which the GS1000 could not take it and thus changing it sound signature to be too airy. However it pairs well with the hd650. The tube cost me a bomb though.

As for pairing the GS1000 with the sr-71a, GS1000 is known to have a very recessed mid which requires an amp which a forward mid to bring it out. Hence it pairs well with the GS1000. GS1000 soundstage is huge and the sr-71a do have a very "natural" soundstage with and good width and height imo.

Good to hear from another RSA's product owner. I am agreeable that the stock tubes is a no no for GS1K and by replacing with NOS Telefunken ECC82 and NOS Tung Sol 5687s, it does the work pretty well.

Hi what types of tubes would u guys recommend me to change for my Darkvoice 332? Needs to pair with my GS1000? Cheers.

guys, i'm planning get either SR60 or SR80 to pair with my BoA. which do you think would be better? in terms of bass and soundstage? how are these both cans compared to MS1?

If you're looking for soundstage, the Grado signature has a really narrow one though.
MS-1 is commonly said to be a revamped SR80, though I have yet to test them both side by side to be able to agree with such a statement.

Grado and Alessandro has slightly different sound signature so to speak. Grado is slightly brighter

can someone tell me how much it cost to change the sr60 cable?

Some of the wire tercabut already :<

There are a few peoples here who can change a better cables for you.
