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. 
 

 'Highway to the Dangerzone' embodies the 80's - fond memories of that tune blaring out over a Double Dragon machine back in 1986.

Oh yeah, Dangerzone and the Anthem both raise the hair on my arms, especially when the guitar kicks in on the anthem song.  Feel's like I'm right on stage at an outdoor concert!

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.

 
I with you man,i have my SR80i's on as i'm writing this,straight from the heaphone output of a vintage Marantz 2220B and a Pioneer RT-1020l reel to reel tapedeck to copy of one of the ''Best audiophile voices'' cd's i made,and they sound so good,i still can't believe i can get this much sound quality,for so little money,ah! the law of diminishing returns.
 
Speaking of diminishing returns, just got some PS-500 two weeks ago,i love them,but today i still couldn't stop myself from calleing my salesmen and order some PS-1000,my friends call me crazy,but i prefer to think of myself as passionnate.

First post!
 
I sold my beloved SR60s (circa 2003) to a friend of mine, and used the money to go towards a shiny new pair of SR225i's. Straight out of the box is a hugely noticeable difference. I shudder to think what these will be doing when they are broken in.
 
I was drawn to Grado back in 03 because of the funky look and the positive reviews, and have been a fan ever since...
 
Hi everyone ;o)

Oh man...I'm already loving my Grados with tubes, I can only imagine how amazing they sound with vinyl!!!

DAYUM, brother! I like how you roll! I'm going to enjoy my new 325s for a while and pick up some PS1000s later this year....love me some Grados!!!
 

 

[brokenthumb]

Oh man, I can only dream about PS1000s at this point.  I envy you guys!
 
I've got around 200 to spend at the moment on my headphone setup.  I'm trying to decide on the better route to go.
 
Buy some SR225i's
or
L-Cush Pads for my SR80i and a Little Dot MK I+ Hybrid tube amp for the SR80i's.
 
I've been leaning toward the SR225i's but I would love to hear vinyl with tube's thrown in also.

 Man this is great! The PS1000 tribe is back in effect!

 
 More the merrier I say, get on board the big chromie express.

 

[Melvins]

Not exactly Grado, but close enough...
 
 
received my Magnum v4's today. man...oh man.
 
 
 
So good. soooooo good. Honestly I've just been listening to them straight from my laptop, just to get used to the sound. But already I can tell that these are going to satisfy me for a while. For the win for suuuuree

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!

You are getting ripped off.  
I don't recall paying that much for a sandwich in the states. $7 a sandwich is London price.

It's from Whole foods, they charge more than they should and people still buy it.

I used to live in Cupertino and 5 minutes from Whole Foods. No kidding! They over charge.
By the way, you have to be rich or a fanatic to be a Grado fan club member here in the UK:

That's about 2700 USD. And if anything goes wrong (like a dead driver) it wil be a pain to get them fixed. Whereas in the states you can just send them to Grado and pay the standard charge. I seem to remember it is something like $100-150 (out of warranty) for any repair on RS1. Not  bad considering you might get two new drivers for that. They actually checked a couple of headphones for me with no charge in the past.

Is anyone here a fan of the GS1000i? They're my favourite!

 Sounds like a tumulteous love affair Nick - thought the distant mids were proving quite difficult?

I hear some Whole Foods hate here?
 
Cmon guys best beer selection and believe it or not, they actually will price match when possible. It's just that they choose to sell expensive stuff..
 
PCF, did you say you live in Cupertino? I'm from San Jose and I went to Cupertino High School actually. Class of '07.
