GradoFest featured an all-you-can-listen Grado bar. We have searched the globe for almost 20 years to find only the finest Grado cans available to suit even the most discerning music lover:

My guess is a woodied SR225; The headband gives away that it's not an RS series, The 325's aren't generally woodied, leaving the 225, 125, 80, and 60. Eliminating the 60 and 80, that's 125 or 225, and it doesn't seem as economical to woody a 125.

it was certainly a sight. the grados there, not all included in the picture, were the following:

HP1
HP2 (2)
HP3
PS1
RS1 (3)
SR325 (woody)
SR225 (woody)
GS1000 (prototype)

one HP2 was balanced and the lettering on one HP2 and HP3 was perfect. the RS1s were two vintage and one with buttons. and the vintage were of different types as well. the GS1000 pictured is also a prototype model, one of three in existence. great treat for grado lovers - esp having all paired with the Melos.

Beautiful collection. Makes me want to save up and get to some bigger meets just to hear some really high-end gear.

There was some more high end gear here, than you might find at some of the bigger meets

The gear to person ratio was ridiculous.

Tom was right to tell us not to bring anything.

I call shenanigans on this claim, there are no AKGs in the picture.
