    RA1

    [PICS] CRACKED OPEN: is e500 really triple driver?

    That makes more sense. If that's the case, I'd say it's almost a marketing gimmick. Although I like ue10 better than the 2 driver sensa because clearer highs, the sensas had better bass with just the one driver. Quote: Originally Posted by milkpowder Yes, but you need 2 crossover...

    SF Bay Area Meet in Marin -- Saturday, October 14, 2006

    Well as for as being a headphone and giving a headphone experience, they may be the perfect headphone. I definately wasn't putting down the system. I was more worried about listening to it and then having trouble enjoying anything else. This would be a big problem because I could never afford...

    SF Bay Area Meet in Marin -- Saturday, October 14, 2006

    Quote: Originally Posted by robm321 I have to say iamdone's Mapletree amp was nothing short of impressive, and very good looking as well. I think it helped to soften the bass on the PS-1's which can get overwhelming on the wrong setup. I was actually very impressed with it too...

    SF Bay Area Meet in Marin -- Saturday, October 14, 2006

    I know I had the left and right correct because I had to ask where the markings where. I didn't make any adjustments or even know how too. It was comfortable but it almost seemed like the top part of the cups were pushing out just a bit. I was listening to some Portishead and it sounded just...

    SF Bay Area Meet in Marin -- Saturday, October 14, 2006

    I want to thank Grahame and Voltron for the great event. I didn't really socialize too much expect with the very few people I already knew. I also forgot to look at the nametags to see who everyone was. I spent most of my time comparing my PS-1 with the RS-1, HP-1/2, and GS1000. I definately...

    GS1000 First impressions

    Quote: Originally Posted by Mercuttio The SR60 is a tiny god. I would never part with mine, there are times that it's completely essential. On lousy recordings, it totally hazes over the bad stuff and just leaves you with music. The funny about the SR-60 is I just heard it for the...

    GS1000 First impressions

    Quote: Originally Posted by Audiofiler I think the GS along with the PS are the only true high end phones(for Grado) that require as much attention to detail on the front end of ones' system. Don't agree that the PS-1's have this problem. The PS-1 sound great out of everything...

    GS1000 First impressions

    My problem with the GS1000 besides the system problems I had, is I thought it would be an upgrade to the RS-1. This was the new official top of the line Grado headphone. I loved the RS-1 and thought the GS1000 would be better. Basically I thought it would be the RS-1 with soundstage. At...

    Computer Source VS Stand Alone CD Player

    One big advantage is you also borrow your friends and family's cds to expand your collection. If you backup your hard drive, you can also sell your cds if you don't care about the cd inserts. I actually only glance at them one time when I first rip and that's it. If you want spend some money...

    Computer Source VS Stand Alone CD Player
