This is a picture of the house me an my gf recently purchased. If you look at the loft; up there, by the book shelves, will be my new listening spot. Looking forward to it:



Looks terrific!

And will the TV be required to be off when you're head-fiing?:wink:

I've had my Grado SR80i for almost a week now, my first Grado and first open-backed headphone. I must say, I absolutely love it. I used my FiiO X1 to tame the treble slightly, but it sounds great even without EQ. I'm listening to Foo Fighters right now, and guitars sound perfect. Vocals are great, bass is in a nice spot too. Got these for $80 at Fidelis AV (highly recommend them, went to a headphone meet there and the staff is very helpful), the store's demo pair. These are perfect for what I listen to, and while I want to try other headphone signatures and such in the future, I can't help but want another Grado when I upgrade!

Congrats! The SR-80 has been the gateway can to many a head-fier's addiction.

Thanks mate. Yes, this was one of the first things I thought about, when looking at pics of the house for the first time. Extremely happy that we got the house. Oh, and it doesnt show, but you can actually see the beautiful fjord of Trondheim from the living room. :)


Are you in Trondheim?

Thanks! I think we wont HAVE a TV there, in the first place. Forgot to specify that this is a prospect picture, so we'll have different furniture in there when we move in, come july. Neither me and my gf watch much TV, but I think I will put my projector there somehow. :)

That said; IF we get a TV at some point, I'll buy some wireless cans of sorts, for instance some Senns, for the TV. Hehe

Are you in Trondheim?


Yup.:)

Addicted to Grado thats for sure, got a pair of PS1000, RS2e, PS500e, MS Pro and Bushmills.
 
Damn, was almost about to jump on a pair of old buttoned RS1 but seems like the sale is pending

Been grooving with my recently acquired PS1000 for 8 hours today, lots of listening and getting acquainted with her. So so good, bliss is the right word for it. Been listening to Alice Cooper, Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, SRV, Guns N Roses, LA Guns, Witchfinder General and some Judas Priest today. I've been off work for a week, so I've got tomorrow to do some more listening. Gotta be the most underrated flagship by people on this site I reckon, doesn't get the dues it deserves for its amazing verve, staging, it just involves you so much and is intoxicating.

I seen these last night on eBay, and was thinking about a pair myself (having already had them) but preferred the 325is over them, but these were/are incredible sounding HP's and I wouldn't mind having them…at all! Jump on them Jay!
