I don't know what to say except that I'm drooling

that must be hard to trim down that collections. good luck!

getting all of them in the same time would be very hard. those chrome finish and gold one are not that frequent on sale. the original also rare to find

The SR 325i was my second Grado and it is still my favourite one.... I bought a SR325is with the e-drivers during the transition time to the e -series because I like the SR 325i so much and wanted to have a back up when it might fail me one day. But the SR 325 e are a different headphone. So, I would keep the second SR325 i for this reason, even if you move...

I think most potential buyers would be interested in one, but not all of those models at once.
shame to see such a collection dissipate.

@ruthieandjohn
I would have to agree that most would buy the headphones individually, but not probably not the entire collection at one time.
GLWS!

I think Grado HQ should contact ruthieandjohn and declare the whole collection as heritage listed and never to be sold.

This way, the young ones can appreciate this unique Grado collection in years to come.

That is one huge Grado collection.

I had that same 325is "chromie" that is in that collection, wonderful detail.

That chrome finish made it look like a 'supermini" PS500

Actually, Grado Headquarters, upon seeing my full collection of Grado headphones, DID send me a rare (well, at least I had never seen one) GOLD version of their Grado headphone lapel pin.

I DO have perhaps the largest collection of Grados in private hands. I wonder if a "Grado Lending Library," similar to what The Cable Company does, would be of use... for $50 plus return postage, I would send a borrower two Grado headphones of their choice for comparison, and they could keep them for a week, then send them back. They could compare more... 3 for $75, 4 for $100....

Here's the list:

Just having to manage that many Grado cables...Grado should send you a PS2000

 

[ruhenheiM]

or at least this one

Yes its safe it has resisters built into the end of the cable,sounds really good.Diagram to make the cable came in the box with the HP phones.
I sold the ps-1s because of the weight Great sounding headphones & used the funds for a amp purchase.

 

[ruhenheiM]

i see. does it alter the sound since the cable has resistor into it?

btw since you have i think the original sr60. does it come with pink drivers? or already white drivers

not really
I will have to look at the SR60 to check the drivers.
