Don't worry about the ancillary components, despite the GS-1000 pretty much demanding such things, they can still be driven by a DAP and sound decent.

Id like to try the GS1000s.

I know Tyrion personally =) He lives about 15mins from me, im sure he will vouch for me.

I have tested almost all the grados besides these and the RS2's.

Ive owned the MS1, SR225 and the iGrado.

I have a few cameras, will burrow a camera if i need a better one. Plan on purchasing another one.

To those who're trying GS1000, please close your eyes and listen to it, forget that it's Grado

GS1000 is not just another can from Grado

Wow! What an amazing opportunity! Unfortunately for me, I'm in between requirements... Not a big member enough for the GS1000, and I have no need of the SR60 as I already bought them based on the head-fi forum!

If you do run out of Canadian (Montreal) homes for those babies, let me know!

Thanks for the program, hopefully it will be successful!

BTW, what would be the lending lenght? 1 week? 2 weeks?

I always wanted to hear one of the better Grados. I do have a dubious character though and would need to borrow a camera.

It's funny I was thinking about this the other day. My friend has a pair of grados HF-1, a DIY amp and a DENON DCP-150 and has asked me if I wanted to try them. I told him no thanks. I know I'm responsible with all my things but the thought of something happening bothered me! (SH$T HAPPENS) So that being said I to would love to try ether headphones but will wait for the next Head-fi meet. I missed it last time in New York. I was so heated to!! But hopefully I can make it next year! I to would like to contribute by having my own gear and bringing it to the meet. I think that the Head-Fi community will very thankful for your Headphone Loan Program.Maybe some will hop on this and will donate headphones for the program. (For different varieties) Just a thought!

Great idea. Although, I don't qualify for the GS 1000. But, the loaner program is great for the community.
