Did anyone listen to the Grado PS 500?
As far as listening goes, I did really enjoy the sound that Doc B was getting with a pair of HD800's from his new Smack amp. I honestly don't think you can do much better for 4 times the price for that kit.
This was the first meet that I liked the sound of the LCD2/3. Maybe it was the kinds of amps I heard it with, or maybe I just never heard the "rev 2" version (I'd heard every version from it's humble beginnings at the LA CanJam) but it this time, it sounded like something I could pry $1k+ out of my vault to get.
Thanks for the kind words, guys. I like that combo too. It was interesting to see someone walk up and put on some cans, get an enthused look in their eyes, and then start reading the specs and realize that what they were listening to was a kit. There is this moment of uncertainty that appears in some expressions, "oh no, I can't do that!"
I assure you that just about anyone can do it. Hopefully we can get more of you guys to try out a soldering iron in the coming year.
My son was watching Pink Panther and one of the characters was listening to headphones. I'm pretty sure those are a pair of Grado's
His facial expression looks like an audiophile sampling a new model at a headphone meet.
