Just picked up my GH-1's! driving home now and will post impressions ASAP.
I tried them out in the 4ourears office, and my initial impressions are that they sound pretty dang good! The low end is impressive right out of the box. Only listened to like half a song to make sure they worked so... Don't really have much more to report. Oh, and the headband is a bit different then were accustomed too. More padding and totally comfy. the cans themselves are beautiful. I'll post pictures in a bit.

That is really good to hear.  Please post lots of photos if you don't mind.  I am curious about the number of vent holes they opened, and how they compare to your GS1000e.

Still putting these through their paces but... figured I'd drop some photos into the thread while I try and gather my thoughts on these. I'm only running them through my AK120 right now so, once I've had a chance to run them through my desktop rig I'll have a better idea of what they can really do.
 
So far though... I'm pretty impressed.

 Take that with a grain of salt as I've never managed to try the RS1/RS2. I'll try and do some A/Bing with my GS1Ke's in a bit once I finish up some work.

Also, I tried to get a shot of the head band in such a way that you can see the extra strip of leather they put on there. The headphones are incredibly light, but coupled with the added leather on the headband and.... think these are the most comfy grado's I've ever worn. O_O

  hehehe. I haven't ordered yet, so I guess I'm still on the fence. I'm more of a functional guy and buying it just because it's limited edition, doesn't really do it for me. Not to mention that I have never paid full retail on any Grado, or any other headphone for that matter, so I'm still on edge as my focus is more towards getting into speakers right now.
 
I mean, for $650 I can buy a very nice 1970's marantz or pioneer receiver and maybe some vintage speakers also!

Hey worms, I'm catching up on some of the posts that I've missed over the last few days. Anyway, as you probably know, I have a weak spot for vintage gear from the 70s. I currently have a Marantz 2220B, and a 2226B.
 
I'm currentlly looking for one to put one in my bedroom, (I'm nuts, I know), and I'm hesitating between the 1060, and 1070 int amps, and a 2230 reciever. They say that the 1060 is like a 2230, but without a tuner. I'm only going to use with headphones, so power output is irrelevant.
 
I would like to have your opinion on the model above, and if you have a suggestion for me.
 
Oh!, and, wich vintage speakers, do you like.? I like Celestion, namely the Ditton 26 and 33.

Congrats, I have to admit that I would've preferred a tan headband though.
