Heh heh. It may as well be 65 cents.

Feels like it sometimes when you are looking at big ticket items.

Sometimes I'll come across an item and think "Well that's the high end of my budget, but..." And then you find out it's in US bucks and you run away, ashamed of your poverty.

And it really hammers home the fact that too many headphones are way overpriced, to the point of ridiculousness.

Managed to finally score a vintage pair (vintage B I believe) of RS-1's on ebay recently for a really nice price



Both the box and headphones have some cosmetic blemishes but you can't really expect ~20 year old headphones that were used to be in perfect shape (especially for the price I paid). They sound really nice and I would say on par or better than my HP1000's. The mid range is not as meaty as on the latter, but separation and soundstage is better with these RS1's. They are slightly colored which actually makes for a nice contrast to the HP1000's which are almost neutral to a fault

I recently had been spending a good bit of listening time with a GS3000e and one evening I took out my vintage RS1 with flats. It has been a while and after a short time running they were sounding absolutely delightful. Not that I was really surprised, it was still very rewarding. I have another phone that I have been listening to but will be returning in a day's time so they have gotten most of my attention the last week plus. You describe my initial feelings on comparing the then brand new RS1 with the Signature HP1.

6 new drivers since 2014? Do you have more information on this? I'll be honest I haven't had much interest in their newer products so might be out of the loop.



What if he comes to a coursing river? A daring cliff? Does he march right along into the inevitable?

He would of course look for the efficient means to take on and hopefully overcome the obstacles.....

You're a recent fan to the GH-4? I'm interested to hear how you think it compares to the GS3000e and GH-2. I have the 2000e, and would love to go for the 3000e, but can't justify the cost. But perhaps with the GH-4...

Hi,

As of yet I have not had the opportunity to audition the GH4 but given the track record (I do have GH1, GH2 and GH3) I expect it to be good sound at a good value.

I may get to borrow a GH4 sometime in the next couple of weeks I hope. Will report then.

Seeing the video above reminds me of a review of the RS-1 by Stereophile (I think), where the reviewer used them as his workout cans in the gym.

Got a chuckle out of that.
