   To my ears they crush the RS1, the LCD2, and probably many other similarly priced headphones. They are simply amazing. To anyone reading this thread with the funds to pay for it, buy a pair of GH1's before they're gone. They will only increase in value since they're limited edition, and they happen to sound amazing.

   Wow. they are that good. I have heard people praise the GH1 but not to the level you do. I was looking at getting some RS2e but I will give these GH1 another closer look. I apparently have similar tastes as you, I have been listening to my HD650's a LOT too and I also like them quite a bit more than the HD600's. They are more detailed top to bottom with quite a lot less distortion.

  No sir, not me. I'm reducing back to the MAD only. Been spending some quality time with an LCD3 and well, it ain't a Grado

No it isn't. it weights about 10lbs more.

I've been listening to them both a lot this week and I think I understand the appeal of the LCD series, but honestly nobody nails tone and timbre like Grado. I do think however, that getting a setup that ones the treble of the Grado is imperative. Every time I've used em with some sort of sabre implementation, I always end of having to put em down after about a half hour.

  GH-1's arrived this morning. L cush all day until just now.
 
 
This. Is. Awesome.
 
 
That is all.

the real deal huh ?
all you guys loving the gh-1 so much, it's like dangling a carrot in front of me, damn you all !

So I'm trying to decide on an amp for my Grado SR325i  (the gold ones). I see a lot of people recommending the Little Dot Mk I. Is there any reason to consider the later iterations in that amp series (MK II. etc.) or not? 
 
I'm using this pair of HPs exclusively for punk pretty much. Basically want it as aggressive as possible.

In this case buy the Schiit Magni (amp) Modi (DAC) combo.

Yes, a pair of Yamaha YH-1

 
I've read good things about these headphones.
 
Do you have some pics of your YH-1?

Sure thing:

I like them, but I have one pair of ears and about ten pairs of headphones. $h1t's getting out of hand...

I have said many times that with some recordings, I prefer the GH-1/G to my beloved PS1k.
 
If praising the GH-1 was a sin, I'd be in prison!

I agree that you'd probably be better off with transistors
than tubes/valves.

 

[stacker45]

 

 
They look like a HP-1000.

 

Ditto... more specifically, the HP1 version of the HP1000 - first ones made by Joseph Grado, with the polarity switches. My pair is GREAT!!! Here is a photo... mine have the identifying lettering still on them:

 
If you look closely, it looks like the cable has been changed on these HP1.

 

[wormsdriver]

I was wondering why the Grado fanclub thread was so dang quiet, turns out I wasn't getting email notifications!

 
Anyhow, nice to be back and catch up with you guys. Looks like someone scored a great deal on some GS1k's!

 
 
a bit of music:


R.I.P. 

 
 

Spoiler: BONUS... cause I like you guys :D

 

[JoeDoe]

 

Haha, I don't endorse the language, but I certainly have shared the sentiment. I'm currently reducing down from a system that cost me $$$$. Glad to be back in Grado-land where I belong!

 

[Audio Addict]

Just so everyone knows…I sold my (MINT) PS-1000 to @orrb_05
 for $850.00 so a member of H-F could buy/enjoy them at a very good price who really couldn't afford to pay more…he sold them to @Harry Manback
 and turned a profit…now they are for sale again by him for another profit! I could have EASILY done the same damn thing!!! Makes for feel like a moron for trying to do the right thing for some of the members here on H-F. This is a scumbag move on both their parts! I will NEVER deal with either member again!


$850.00…NOT $1000.00 ISOLD THESE FOR!!!

As the saying goes, no good deed and that's what you did for a fellow head-fier, goes ???
