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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000

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.- AVR4000

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...- AVR4000
