Here is another note on the PS-1. I cannot sell one to anybody that is not in the USA. SO if you have tried to order or have any questions about whether or not you can get them from me, I am not able to sell them except in the USA. I am sorry but I have some tight rules I have to play by and at least we get to have some here in the USA. For those of you out of the country, try to get your local distributor to try to get them for you.
Orders are coming in at a steady pace - I am sold through June and half of July so if you want to be assured of getting one, get in line soon!

I personally have owned the HP-2, RS-1, and HD650, and I found the HD650 was sonically bested by the HP-2. If in fact the PS-1 is sonically superior to the HP-2 that would indicate to me that it is in fact superior to the HD650. This is assuming the the PS-1 has the same sonic "signature" or lack there of of the HP-2. I will say however that as far as I can see by examining the pics of the PS-1, I am not too impressed with the build quality. The hex into round plastic did not impress me on the RS-1, and will not impress me on the PS-1. Although a minor point, I am impressed with the engraved lettering on the PS-1.

I'm not completely clear anymore on whether it's engraving or paint. EyePod posted that it can be removed, so it may be a painted logo that looks like engraving in certain light. OTOH, the grip mechanism of the PS-1 (and RS-1) is far superior to the HP-1000, IMO. That headphone you're always tightening screws, which are always loosening (and falling out completely). The PS-1 moves into position and stays there. It may look cheaper, but it works better. The metal chambers speak for themselves.
