Question #1
The whole reason for the Grado cable replacement was to fill a void or need for a Balanced Grado Headphone. In the past, PS-1's were sent to me from Grado with their reference interconnect cable attached and no terminations. We terminated them and added a pretty jackets if the customer so desired. In order to cut out a couple of steps and to do this on more than one type of Grado headphone, we will be shipping balanced cables to Grado to be fitted at the factory. All the headphones will come with full warranty, thus no loss of warranty will occur when doing after market mods. And no risk of damage to the headphone during the mod. It just makes more sense to do it this way. For those of you who have both balanced and single ended setups we will also offer adapters to convert to single ended. If one day you bag your Balanced amp for a single ended amp, we can reterminate the cable with a 1/4" jack. Which is an easy and not very expensive process.
Question #2
This one is top secret. We are waiting for Black Dragon Senn cables back from the molders this month. I am also working on Silver D V2. Woops did I just write all that
PreOrders begin today and there will be a 10% discount on the first batch. Here is the cable match up we plan to do.
SR325i Blue Dragon
RS-2 Blue Dragon or Black Dragon
RS-1 Black Dragon
GS1000 Black Dragon
I am working on Prices but it looks like the RS-1 will be $850 and the GS1000 will be $1150. These are for 10' lengths. Other lengths will be available but will be a non stocked item and will have a slight delay. I hope to add all this infor to the website soon.
Here is the first Black Dragon RS-1.
