    Would like to hear.

    I dont sign up for loaners where I have low interest or low means of buying. I realistically would not buy an RS1x, but would an RS2x. If that makes me ineligible then thats totally fine. Just wonder how many people are going to sign up for a Grado tour here. If you want more ears then I volunteer.

    @E_Schaaf If you can make some flat pads that would be heroic.

    Comparisons to HD800 would be super appreciated. Still waffling on buying HD800 drivers for @Bill-P 3DP capsule mod or being cheap with some cheap drivers then saving the dough for an RS2x sooner.

    Reminder: These are the RS1X which aren't neutral sounding. They are colored. So please make sure!

    I’d like to join please. The highest end Grado I’ve ever heard was an old 225, so this should be interesting.

    Located in MO.

    I'm interested in finally hearing a grado. Sign me up and (likely) hear me complain about how my ears hurt from treble! Location is Brooklyn, New York!

    Nah don't add me to the list; I was hoping to try it out with my 3F which only has balanced out, so unfortunately SE doesn't work for me :(. Appreciate you following up though!
