A delightful sale! The seller was very careful to describe what was an invisible flaw on the body, and when the player arrived, it was in nearly new condition, and it worked beautifully. Delivery was very prompt.

For those of us for whom our life’s savings is owed to Grado, we viscerally appreciate this “Ode To Grado!”

I sent the Gungir back to Schiit to get its USB working. Step 1: They changed the USB to a working identical USB ($89) Step 2: When I repeated my request, they upgraded my USB to Unison (adds a 2 yr warranty as well as improved performance) ($150) Step 3: When I received my upgraded Gungir...

GS1000 vs GS1000i vs GS1000e I just received a pair of GS1000 headphones, augmenting my GS1000 collection to include all but the new GS1000x. The picture shows, from left to right, GS1000 (square rods, thin cable, dark wood, black headband), GS1000i (round rods, thick cable, dark wood, black...

I *knew* this was an additional PS1000 for you, but I thought you might have regretted selling yours, so getting a replacement. I had no idea you were boarding four pairs! 🤢

YES! Without question! I have both the GS2000e and the current flagship, GS3000x. I prefer the GE2000e, as to me it is brighter and more spacious while having good bass. However, there are several who discount the GS2000e as having a “wonky” response, so I may be in the minority or off in...

Can somdone please post a picture of the Van Nuys case for the LoToo Mjolnir, plus where to get it? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!

Well, it’s been four weeks since the last post on this thread! does anyone have any insight on when the capability to serve as a Roon endpoint will be released?

I have to send my 2018- vintage Gungir Multibit with 5 Gen USB back to Schiit for USB repair. Is there any other upgrade that has come out recently that I should request? Should I go for the Unison USB upgrade? Just what IS the Unison upgrade? Thanks!

Buying multiple of the same item? Hmmph!

What? How can ANY FiiO be an upgrade to a LoToo PAW Touch? Gotta read about the R9… PAW Touch shown below…

When one says “software support,” what is meant? For me, it is simply becoming Roon compatible (likely to come, as it is on their menu) and (idealistically) the ability to retrieve by genre.

Sieveking Makassar headphone stand just arrived yesterday. It is Great! Beautiful color, perfect condition, and no extra charges. Thank you!

A Secret Brotherhood lives here on head-fi — the brotherhood of HE-500 aficionados. You need to have been around for some time to have gotten the HE-500 when it was the new thing from HiFiMAN. Latecomers have had to be convinced and educated by these senior HE-500 lovers. I feel privileged...

10 days since last post here (and it was MINE??!) The Mjolnir sure does not generate much discussion… wonder why??? Anyway, I have converged upon using the Mjolnir with upsamping (XRC) ON, with EQ set to Headphones, and taking advantage of AirPlay, enabled in the software release of two weeks...

I have not yet found an amp that is anything but Great with my Grados. But I am particularly fond of Grado amps with Grados…

ditto for my HE1000 v1, driven by the HiFiMan EF-6 amp. Still my best!

And I think that it is ONLY the GH2 and GH1 that are improved by replacing their native L pads with Gs. The PS500 sounds equally good but different, and at least in my experience, the other L-supplied Grados degrade in sound with Gs.

YAY! Firmware update adds Apple AirPlay as well as DLNA capability! YAY!! It also recalibrates the Battery Remaining display, does something or other with the USB (I forget what), and fixes a few UI issues. Oh… and it works (I tried it using Over The Air update).

Bits is bits and amps is amps They all sound just the same. But each hertz has its special sound, So frequency graphs claim!

@HWB3 , I had trouble removing my Grado RS1e’s to take a shower. After my wife insisted that I was becoming a toxic hazard, I figured out how to put a plastic bag over my head and secure it with a rubber band so I could leave them on during my mandated shower.

I found that it makes every headphone sound its best! Glad your findings are similar.

Post #581 on this thread cites 3 reviews, including a YouTube one. At 2.5W per channel, I think there is plenty of power and I talk about some experiments I did in my review referenced in that post. For me, an advantage is that the Mjolnir places everything in one shoulder-strapped box. None...
