Yeah, the seller also got em for that price, so he bags a little profit. I was working all day on Black Friday, so I didn’t notice the offer at the time. Oh well, still cheap, and with full warranty as well.

Thanks. Bought them off a gentleman who picked em up here in Norway in the Black Friday sales. He opened the box and decided they were not for him.

I have a pair of z1r’s incoming tomorrow, NIB for 1400usd. I’ve had my eyes on these cans since they were released. Can’t wait!

The statements above are a bit worrying for me. I am on the brink of ordering a pair, and one of the major selling points of the z1r for me is the fact that they're closed. I will be using them in front of my computer at home, where I currently use a fan. Today I am using a pair of dt770s which...

That is a line that Naim drew, I believe

I'd open up the cans to make sure there was no hair stuck in them. Unless this is your excuse to get better cans!

Hmm. Might as well post this since the thread was awakened anyway. Bought a pair of Baby Orpheus today. Then we'll see if they are any good compared to V2/HP2

*jaw drops* Nice setup man! But seriously. For those bucks, ever thought of a speaker setup? EDIT: That sounded weird and offensive. Absolutely no pun intended. Still, speakers create an, IMHO, more realistic sound.

That was a ridiculous used price (hehe, i know that sounded silly coming from a guy with hp1k's, but still) 1450 for USED omega ii's? holy....

Hi again... I decided to go with a Gilmore V2, so talk about ignoring the tips! Gilmore seems like a decent bet, so we'll see when it gets here. BTW, just for interest, how does this amp fare with the RS1? Thinking about buying a pair of those as well, to go with my HP1k.

Hi again... I'm currently looking at a Melos SHA-1. (Seems like a very safe bet...) I'm in Norway though, so i would have to use a step down transformer. Would this degrade sound greatly? Is there an easy way to convert the melos from 110V to 220V? Thanks, Fadamacka

Thx for fast replies! I'll look into the PPX3, looks interresting. Is there anyone out there that has experience with this combo? HP2/PPX3? Thanks, Fadamacka

Hi I am finally looking at buying an amp for my beloved Grado Hp2's. I have looked at the Gilmore lite, but I wanna try something with tubes. Is there any contenders out there that will match the hp2's pretty nicely? If not, i'll prolly be looking at SS amps. Same pricerange. My budget is at...

I see that theres a Melos Maestro on the used section, and it comes with two remotes. Is this the only edition that has the remote, or does the SHA-1 have that feature too? I know that the sound is prolly better on the maestro, but i can't afford it right now, so i think i'll settle on a...

Well, youre the only one that can decide, really. I use HP2's, and find the 0 ohm output to be the best in my ears. Now, I cannot stress the importance of listening yourself.

... then there's a (what appears to be anyway) mint HP1 at ebay.de. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...oDisplayType=2 Good luck bidding!

Lol, my heart jumped for a bit there. (Just bought Hp2's from Zanth. The price was NOT 46USD )

Uhm, I cannot see any ML amps there, "only" Gryphon (SS Class A), Cary (Tubed), and Accuphase. Nice setup tho

BUY IT GOD DAMN IT!!! Nuff said.

Ohh, and if you can get the EARLY Terje Rypdal stuff, check out "Bleak House" and "Blue". Excellent stuff.
