Check with Todd at TTVJ, he should be able to set you both up!

 
When I ordered my 500es from Todd, they took a bit and came direct from Grado (assume Grado was catching up on production). Not sure he stocks them, or if the order is directed through Grado. I've worked with other companies that work the same way, where their ordering system actually just taps a distributor, they really don't stock much. Smart system to streamline online ordering, allowing small companies to offer a lot more product without having to actually purchase it.

My 500e's came directly from TTVJ, I'd recommend giving him a call.

Wonder if ANYONE has the GS 1000e actually new in stock. 

GS-1000e (low stock) but they have them.

Thanks for posting that. I troll the listings about once a day during lunch, but that was right after I looked. I've been looking for a potential deal on RS1s or PS500s. I listened to the RS1s years ago and  definitely wanted to step up in the chain from my SR60s. Hopefully I like these, otherwise I'm sure there are many other HF'ers who will enjoy them.

Not that misery loves company, but 4ourears also does not have the GS1000e in stock. I know because I have one I'm expecting from Overture Audio, my own favorite audio dealer, and THEY have not been able to get one for Months. I thought maybe it was unique to them (or to me... Grado saying, "No, John, you already have Grado headphones... You have to wait!") but that's not the case.

Wonder if ANYONE has the GS 1000e actually new in stock. The production run for mine was said by Grado to have begun at the end of January. No word yet.

Grado just can't keep up with demand I guess

This is not good news for me.  Or maybe it is.  I was thinking about picking up a pair of these.  They wowed me when I auditioned them, but felt they were to genre and volume specific to justify as a purchase.  things have changed, and I'm still haunted by Cowboy Junkies on the GS1Ke's

If you do grab the "e" version of the GS1ks, let me/us know what you think...I eventually chose the 500s over the GS1ks, but I'm eager to know what changes they made to the new ones. I loved the look of them...beautiful headphones.

Any comparison between old GS1000 and GS1000e?

 

[jaywillin]

i've had the gs1000, the 1000i, and the 1000e.  the "e" was easily my favorite, not that other two aren't good, i loved them too
but the gs1000e , to my ears, is a much more refined sounding headphone. the main improvement for me is in the treble.
it's very natural sounding, no hint of hardness, it's sweet while still having extension, and detail.
damn i want to have it again !

You've had the GS1ke? I didn't know that...did you get rid of it?

Thanks for the suggestions for TTVJ and Crutchfield as having the GS1000e.
 
I really do want to get them from my local audio shop, and I am happy to wait. After all, I figured out that when I get them, I also have to PAY for them, and later is better for that!

Wouldn't be the first time you bought something a second time.  I just bought a new set of 400i's myself.
