So, what happened with preffering the PS1K's over the (e)?
What differences did you hear this time?
But not with the GS/PS1K's…they should come standard 1/4" termination…where as the SR 60-225 models come with standard 1/8".
Like I said, it wasn't a deal breaker for me in any way, and Grado IMMEDIATELY/GLADLY OFFERED TO CHANGE IT FOR ME…it just makes more sense this way especially with a 12 conductor cable.
It's nice to know that Grado offered to make things right with you, but the way I see it, they shouldn't have even been shipped out in the first place.
In my opinion, only the SR series should come with the 1/8 terminals.
And Joseph, regarding the PS1K vs the e, I think that if we own a pair of headphones that we love long enough, they often become the benchmark, and we percieve their sound as ''the right sound''. So, after reading some more positive impressions about the PS1000e, I decided to give them another try, but because it's the Christmass rush, they're open untill 9pm everyday, I couldn't bring the demos home with me, so I brought my test cd's to the store, not ideal, I know.
I still think that the old PS1k has a little more treble extension, and a slightly bigger soundstage, while the e has deeper bass, a smoother overall presentation. Like I have said many times, at this level, we're talking about sidesteps, not forward leaps.
My plan now, is to show up at my dealer's at closing time on the 24th, at 5pm, and I will only have to bring them back for the opening, on the 26th. That way If I decide to make a move, I may benefit from the boxing day Frenzy and get a good deal.
I always bring the same 4 test CDs, and, just in case you're interrested, they are.
1) - The Holly Cole Trio......I Can See Clearly Now, song no:1
2) - Grant Geissman...Guitar Music For Small Room...Cold Blue Sake, song no:10
3) - Maranna Leporace...Best Audiophile Voices Vol. 5....Bizzare Love Triangle, song no:10
4) - Sarah Brightman... La luna...A Whiter Shade Of Pale, song no:5
I'm back!

Sorry about lowering the tone lads (I can't say it won't happen again) but I felt like it had to be said . And thanks to Stacker for not holding back.
If I don't get chance to say it, I do sincerely wish you all a very merry Christmas - and I'd like to thank all of you for making this website what it is - you've been a great help and have contributed to the newest, and one of the best hobbies I've ever had.
Don't thank me, it's like you just mention, it just had to be said.
