    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    I make the burn in with playing music of different types at low volume. I have read that white noise etc are to be avoided. I have used the method of just playing different tracks many times for burn in without any problems. Approx 50 hours of low volume playing settles everything down pretty...

    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    I have joined the Grado PS1000 club. They were delivered a few days ago and I am breaking them in now. I am extremely pleased with their sound (even before break in) but I will wait with a detailed opinion until they have more hours on them. But they sound exactly according to my preferences...

    Grado GS1000i or PS1000 as the step up from RS-2?

    It sounds interesting with the observation that the PS1000 is more like a refined RS-2 while the GS1000i is more following the RS-1. It partly verifies my impressions after reading different threads.   My own impression of the RS-2 is that they are warmer sounding than the RS-1i, I feel that...

    Grado GS1000i or PS1000 as the step up from RS-2?

    That impression differs from mine. I think it can be dependent on the music used and amplification. My RS-2 sounds very good but I have the impression that the GS1000i is an improvement, that's my impression. But that's based on an audit without amplifier which makes it impossible for me to draw...

    Grado GS1000i or PS1000 as the step up from RS-2?

    I have now more time to describe my impressions and preferences. I tried the GS1000i again today at B&H Photo Video here in NYC. For the sake of curiosity, I compared with Sennheiser HD800 and Denon AH-D7000. The music is not my style, though so this audition doesn't say me too much about them...

    Grado GS1000i or PS1000 as the step up from RS-2?

    Time for a new thread about this.;)   I am planning to upgrade my headphone setup and go for a solution based on Musical Fidelity M1HPA and M1DAC (or VDAC) together with a new pair of headphones. My original plan was to keep my RS-2s but when I made a long listening test (as a part of the...

    V-Can, V-DAC and V-Link compared to the competition (amp-dac combo for Grado RS-2)?

    I felt a really balanced sound when I tried the combination. The RS-2 with flats has a pretty balanced sound in my opinion and the Musical Fidelity V-Can/DAC is also balanced to my ears. I have not tried the PSU but perhaps I should audit ut when I evaluate the whole package with the V-Link and...

    V-Can, V-DAC and V-Link compared to the competition (amp-dac combo for Grado RS-2)?

    The only thing I can say is that I felt that it was a near buy - but I always has the rule of thumb in my head that it's better to try to look around rather than buying the first option you find. Even if I like Musical Fidelity a lot, I feel that it's better to investigate further before making...

    V-Can, V-DAC and V-Link compared to the competition (amp-dac combo for Grado RS-2)?

    I didn't experience any volume problems but next time I try (with the V-Link added to the chain) I will see how it behaves.

    V-Can, V-DAC and V-Link compared to the competition (amp-dac combo for Grado RS-2)?

    I am currently doing research of the area of a headphone amp + dac combo for my MacBook Pro. My previous setups has been Marantz SA 7001 KI + LittleDot I+ and Grado RS-2 or Vincent KHV-1pre with Sennheiser HD600 cans. Now I am living in a different part of the world and the requirements has been...

    New hybrid amp by Little Dot, I+

    This is one of my first posts on Head-Fi. After the very nice recommendations in this thread and in a thread on a swedish forum I have ordered a LittleDot I+ today. My head phones is Grado RS2 and they are used with a Vincent KHV-1pre today. It will be very interesting to run the LD I+ through...
