well, balancing grados is easy, like getting a vasectomy - snip snip, close, and you're good to go

That's great news!!! I'm kind of new here. A friend of mine, opened me a new world - a world of pure sound, by listening to music on his RS1!!! I was surprised to find out how great sounds this cans. His advice was to buy myself first Grado SR225i and then, after a while, to get something what would suits me better.
Today, I received a call from him, and found out about HF2...well...I can't stop thinking about this model, I definetly want it!!!!

Hi All,
Down to 9 days. The HF-2's have shipped from Grado Labs to LAX and will be there waiting when I arrive on Thursday. No x-ray vision glasses please...
I will be getting mine here today so I can break it in for the show. Can't you just picture it 
Acidtripwow, you can use the gift certificate - just give me a call to order and I will take care of it. And you can wait to see it and order after. That gift certificate is as good as gold around here and I'm glad you won it at the Billy's Chicago meet.
Another clue...
There is no 1/4 to 1/8th adapter - the HF-2 comes terminated 1/4"
Todd

Not really - but if you have a camera around you certainly could help with that

Todd, you're confirming my suspicions of a silver 325is body with mahogany inserts with a 1/4" plug.
Now, is security being provided at LAX for such precious cargo?

Wasn't it written somewhere that no plastics are used? Does that mean we get HP-2 style metal rod holders? That'd be sweet

We'd all make great reporters.
Remember "Who, what, where, when, and how"? Although in modern day, "how" would either be "how much", or "how long" do we have to wait.
