Grado policy on PS-1's?
Todd,
What's Grado's support policy on the PS-1's? So far they have been very close-lipped with regard to this particular headphone, and in most cases seem to disavow any knowledge about it.
If a non-German buyer required support, such as repair or replacement, what would Grado do? What warranty comes with the PS-1's for non-German purchasers? Would it be the same as the rest of the Grado lineup, or non-existent (that's not likely given Grado's excellent customer service rep)?
Also, so far, you are the only source within the U.S. for these cans (AFAIK). Does purchasing from you differ from finding a direct source in Germany, with regard to the warranty?
Thanks.

I am interesting in hearing the verdict on these, or at least SEEING them....in particular I am interested in hearing how they compare to the HP-1000s....if they are as good or better than the HP-1000, I might be tempted to get some, as my HP-2's are not in the greatest shape...

Todd, Thanks! Mine arrived a day early, and pictures are up in the Headphones Forum. You were right, the flat pads are a necessity. Once they've burned in, I'll get some sonic impressions out there. However, a short teaser: take the best of the RS-1, the best of the HP-1 and put them into one headphone that's got more low-end and potentially better fine detail than either...(if anyone is getting the impression that I'm starting to like these a lot, you're right )
