  @wormdriver
nice rs1. btw may i know what is your rs1's serial number?
 
@stacker
actually, i don't think mine is rs1 vintage, i got sn 1863.i change the headband to those tan headband from turbulent labs(since i
really love the looks of it).i was looking for vintage rs1 for the past couple of months but no such luck
 
 
anyway, i just got ps1000e.man, these headphone just amazing, it has everything i love about grado sound just better. just using schiit fulla, i really love the sound.i don't think i need to find another headphone.and the cable really thick,even the thickness of the converter different from the one i have. i do have one complaint though,its heavy!!! like really heavy!!
 

 

(yeah, i'll keep the rs1)
 
btw do any of you guys ever try gr10e? would you mind sharing your thought?
 
 
 
@unchi
nice looking amp
 
@dino1962
by sr325 original, do you mean the black version

 
Thank you for letting me know. The tan headband fooled me. By the way, do you know when the change from vintage to classic actually occured?

I would have like to hear this system…anyone here own/owned/heard this system???
 
 
FreeSystems FG-1 (February 2002, cancelled product, ~17 full kits were made, MSRP 3,800 USD; the leftover headphones became Grado PS-1 and were dispatched in small batches by Grado and distributed simultaneously by FreeSystems in Germany and Todd The Vinyl Junkie in the U.S. between 2004 and 2006; 7 pairs were auctioned on eBay in 2008 by Grado Labs themselves and labelled [after John Grado's initials] “JAG 1,2,3...-7” on the back of their box; the JAG 7 had a special though deemed failed chrome finish)
  Came with a wireless infra-red (IF) digital audio receiver coupled RA-1 amplifier (battery powered) and the IF emitter.

 I'll just throw this in about the GH-1 which I'm listening to right now.
I've listened to "Americas- Horse With No Name" a million times…I just listened to it with the GH-1 and definitely heard some type of tom-toms/bongos deep in the back of the sound-stage besides the ones that are in front which I've never heard before.
EDIT: And I wasn't critically listening at all.

Well it is Saturday morning here down under, and thought I would drop in a little Aussie Blues and Roots : I present Ash Grunwald ~ Money Extended Version
 

 

[hardbop]

  USPS is open on Saturday here in N.Y. are you sure their closed?

I'm working 7-7 tomorrow...
 
Possibly Monday, but hopefully not. I can't think of any way to get them sooner.

Same here. They really are MASSIVE cups. I can understand why they would be so weighty. I'm not sure if I would enjoy that type of weight on the head. Defiantly a try before buy type of HP.
 
 
Thats gotta give you the schiits . . . That happened with my Magni2Ū, and I was sitting on their doorstep Monday morning . . . Try and keep busy and don't think dirty Grado thoughts  

 
The PS1k are not big, it's the other models that are small.

 Think of the good side, you can use them as dumbells, as a door stop, and maybe even...nah!  fancy boat anchor, is a bit far fetched.
 
Damn meds!, making me say all sorts of stupid shiet.
 
Oh! my GH-1 are actually, drum roll please!... still in transit.

 They're currently in San Francisco, now, I was never good in geography, but aren't my GH-1 going the wrong way! I've always thought that San Francisco was on the west coast, (far from Montréal), and that New York was South of Montréal, (much closer). I was hoping for early next week, but at this rate, they might be in Tokyo by then!

 
 
By the way, no pressure Joseph, but I trust your opinion very much, and depending on what your general impressions will be, by the time I get my GH-1, There's a possibility that I might decide, not open the box, and sell them. And just in case anyone was wondering, no, I did not plan this.

Thank you, as I do yours (when your not on meds 

).
Seriously though, I'm liking what I hear so far with only about 7-8hrs of burn-in.

Hmmm!, I realise that I'm strongly medicated, but aren't RA-1 made of magic wood, like the RS1?
 
That is a very nice rig though, and I think that calling it's finish, ''failed chrome'', makes it sound...well, failed!, I much prefer the term, ''satin finish'', don't you agree?

Fair enough

 
Not only do I trust your opinion, ,but like me, you also own the PS1000, and we both have a RS1s, although not the same version.

I don't recall when the change occurred but the very first RS-1's didn't have a serial number, those numbers came later. I bought mine right when they first hit the street in November 1995 and it didn't have any serial number.

I know, I've seen that date on Grado's website but I got mine at Audio Consultants the day after Thanksgiving in 1995. I still have the receipt.
