 It may involve heinous crimes against humanity in order to get them - but just remember - it's all for a good cause, yes a very, very good sonic cause

Really hope you snare a freshie in the not too distant future, given that the most recent number I've seen is #1668.
 
When I think of the number of PS1000's in the world, I think of :-

The V3 with the RockGrotto upgrades (I'm sure the V2 is pretty much the same afterwards) and the Little Pinkie PSU are seriously god-tier Grado amp.

I drive my Grados with either a,Musical Fidelity X-CAN V2 hybrid  tube amp,a vintage Yamaha CA-610II,or a Marantz 2220B.

 
 
Besides the sound, there is just a romance between Grados and tube amps, applying vintage technologies to acheive a sound preferable over modern day equipment

Dang Martin, you mind lending me $10 bucks for lunch today? My local whole foods makes the best turkey bacon avocado sammie I've ever had, but they're 7 bucks
 
I've seen what McIntosh amps look like, and more or less COST and thats one insane setup!

 

[Melvins]

yeah but that doesn't equate with the two sounds. It would certainly be an interesting read

i am english and we can't buy guns over the counter here..if you sell me a gun so i can shoot the c*** who keeps telling me to get out of the chopper on battlefield 3 then you can buy some of them lovely sandwiches from your local home foods..p.s this is just ment as a joke..but it would be one way of getting rid of him..

 I'll probably have a HD800 over the weekend down here so I might put it to good use and bang out a review - there's probably a review or two floating around already
 but I'll see if I can add a little something.

I'm officially a fan all over again!
 
I've been listening to the K701, D2K, and HD650 for the last 6 months on my pc.  Today I felt like breaking out my old SR80i's and my turntable.  HOLY CRAP, these sound so good with vinyl!  I immediately wondered why I even bought the other headphones...  instant goosebumps on the Top Gun Soundtrack.  Now I'm thinking maybe a 225i, 325is, or maybe a used RS2i in my future.

That's what I'm talking about! Psyched for you, Brokenthumb. Also kind of amazing that you own the Top Gun soundtrack on vinyl. I bet the guitar anthem kicks ass on Grados.
