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.

Cool, you got yours before the release date, nice!

Oh, I don't watch TV so I had no idea who this was, but I knew he wasn't a member of the band "America" which is what I thought you might have thought.

  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 remember ttvj put one for sale on their website in 2012, 2500 dollars.

@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

Congrats sir on getting the PS1Ke's. To help with their weight you could try putting one of those Velcro attached seatbelt shoulder pads that people use on kids booster seats around the headband. Just a suggestion. Happy listening.

Hello ps500e owners! Would i benefit any sound qualities if i buy G-cush pads for them? I've read that they mud 325i and since ps500e is similar to them i'm afraid to burn another $50 for nothing,so please give me a simple answer: worth it and improves anything or should i just be happy with the stock pads? Thank you.

 

[esco]

I've had a variety of Grado's in the past (SR80i, RS-2i, SR-225i, HF-2) but have recently rejoined the club! Happy owner of the SR-80e, should keep me entertained for a bit

 

[lovetroniq]

I've sold my 325i because needed  to fond the ps500e and while i didn't have 325i i started listening to my wife's 80i.I ran them through a good chain and was just stunned how in certain jazz and soul songs bettered my over $1500 headphones,i'm serious.I always thought that it will be a good headphone for my wife's sansa player and never cared to enjoy them,since i already was involved in hd800,hd650 and others.But it's a truly great pair of headphones.I'm afraid i enjoyed them more than 325i since they weren't that sibilant.I was on stage with Patty LaBelle and was sitting close to Bill Evans piano and so on.For any of you,who can't afford more expensive Grado's , Grado 80 will be just fine and i'm sure PS1000 will never be 15 times better) Not even 3 times better,probably.
