Got the yard raked, now I get to go on a date with the Mrs.

But I though I should agree with the SR60 being a great intro can. Here's a row off our sales summary for the last 5 years on our web site.


Grado SR 60 002-009-0060 5383 $69.00 $367,928.70

We've sold 5383 of them over the last five years; I guess I should give a big thanks and shout out to John Grado for making such a great headphone for the noobs. Heck, it's a great little can for anybody. Thanks, John!

Son of a DOG, that is a lot of Grados!!

I'd like to thank Headroom for the sweet SR225s I bought this past Christmas. Half a year later and the SR225s are long gone, and in their place is an HP-2 and an RS-1. Sure, I owned the SR60 before, but it didn't give me the Grado Faith: the SR225 did.

Also thanks to Tyll for being an active part of and such a proponent for this quirky subculture of the greater audiophilia community. There is something to be said for communicating clearly through the written word, and Tyll has always done that well, and with no small sense of humor to boot. Thanks dude.

I'd also like to thank Tyll for the free Headroom Balanced Desktop with Home Module, Stepped Attenuator, Home Balanced DAC, and DPS that he is sending me this week in payment for what I said in the preceding paragraph. I can't wait to hear it. BTW it would be great if you could send that 2 day so I can definitely get it before the weekend. Ground can be flaky sometimes. :rs1smile:

Wow! I was really scared by the title of this thread started by you Tyll. I was afraid it was going to end with something like you were leaving Headroom. I would like to add my thanks to all at Headroom. I only found out about Head-Fi and Headroom a month before the Headfest this past april. It was a joy to meet you Tyll and your assistant there. Since then I have purchased a Total Bithead which is currently afixed to my laptop and sometimes to my D2 DMP. I ordered the TB on the phone and the gentleman that helped me was great and the delivery was fast and it was on sale to boot. I only wished that you could include one of the stickers with the package. Keep up the great work and never stop wearing the Hawaiian shirts. :rs1smile:

Default Thank You HeadRoom

Thank You Tyll for giving me a job where I can be myself. Thank You for creating a job where my mission is to put smiles on peoples faces by giving them sweet sounding music. Thank You for all of the business and e-commerce knowledge I have gained and the ability to apply it to my own ventures.

Thanks for letting me try to make products that I want and filling my desk with them.

Thanks for the Amphion Ion's that you're going to give me.:evil:

well, i want to thank you for your great customer service... i ordered a pair of open-box E3c's for my girlfriend as a gift for x-mas (money was short last year)... i ordered it on the wednesday before the holiday weekend with 2 day air... when i recieved them i got a pair of E3g's with someone elses invoice! (eek!)... when i called i offered to send them back (i really didnt want to) and the CSR put me on hold... when he came back he told me not to worry i could hold on to them, i offered to pay the difference, and he told me not to worry about it... needless to say my girlfriend enjoys her e3g's (that match her black ipod) every time she goes jogging or to the gym...

i also want to thank tyll for being such a cool guy to talk to about all this crazyness at the south florida meet... and letting me play with the balanced desktop prototype and post my impressions...

i only wish i could work designing products for such great people, but i like miami too much anyway

Only when the Harbeths arrive (which should be in a couple of days), and only if I like the Harbeths better. :veryevil::veryevil::veryevil:

I'm taking a shower, and will be in by 10:15. (Those speakers better still be on my desk, damit. I need a lock on my door!)

Thank you Headroom for the mug I won at the Nottingham meet in Feb 2005 - it's still in daily use at the office and relatively unique.

Watch out for it on Antiques Roadshow in the years to come

Thank you Jaime!... for all the questions answered (how does this sound? if I am looking for this kind of sound which xxx should I buy? etc). Thany you for watching over my K701 order and then replacing them so quickly (one of the drivers went). Also thanks for always remembering, "we are in this for the music."
