I'd like to know one professional mastering engineering who uses Grados for work besides the shill job of Bob Ludwig (or besides the 2 personal e-mails from Bob Joe Grado cuts and pastes into every single one of his product descriptions). Amateur "audiophile" recordings of artists who might sell five records a year at best are irrelevant but of course all these folks have an opinion and suspend their cables over shakti or petrified dog **** stones.
It upsets when me a company that is so consistently innovative and produces components that are consistently improved and impressive when measured both by objective analysis and listening is maligned in comparison against a company best known for producing products which are colored and inaccurate BY DESIGN.
It'd be one thing to compare Sennheiser and them dump on B&W. But claiming B&W are crap (and in the other thread, not relevant in high end audio, according to non-existent anecdotal sources that you cannot name and nothing in print, so your own opinion alone) and then suggesting crap that has no place in a proper recording chain; really brings any credibility you have (if you had any anyway) into serious doubt.
Whatever dude. If you look at some of the graphs on Headroom, you will see that grado and Senn are almost mirror images on the FR graph - Grados have a midrange hump and Senns have a suckout in the same area. Really Stax are the only flat or neutral cans in my experience but they are not very portable.
