My GS1000es were built in February 2015 and have the 1/4" plug, brown leather headband, and wood that beautifully matches the RA1 and the Grado wood headphone box.
 

 
Wow nice, even the box is a pretty close match to the amp, and headphones. I just hope that my RA-1 will mach my RS1 as good as yours does. My RS1 are very dark though, we'll see.

  Oh snap! mine does too!  
 
I just got mine in today. It looks like these were from one of the earlier batches, since they are coming out with light brown leather headbands, and apparently with the 1/8" plug.
Does yours have a black headband?

 
I'm a bit confused Worms. In the pictrues I see what looks like GS1000i, with the e's red drivers. Am I missing something?, or did you just recieved a pair of Frankenstein GS1000i?

  Shhhh.. that is my new business that I am going to use to fund my headphone addiction.  I will buy headphones for $300, put a special sticker on them, and resell them for $600, thereby doubling their sound quality!

OK, I won't tell anyone…I promise.

  True.
 
 
BTW, nice to see you stopping by this thread. I've read your posts on several of the Grado threads while looking up some stuff. I recently stumbled upon this one: http://www.head-fi.org/t/616635/joe-grado-happy-88th-birthday/30 and I thought it was just a great thing about you sending Mr. Grado some sketches for hise birthday celebration and thinking I would've love to see them!
 
Oh and I also remembered you because of this!:

They were just rough doodles, nothing to write home about.
It started off when Joe's wife Brigitte was unwell. I sent her some drawings from time to time as get-well-soon cards.
May they both rest in peace.

R.I.P.
 
I thought it was a very nice and simple gesture that often time is most appreciated like these. Thanks for sharing!

The plot thickens!

 
one thing is for sure though. I think Grado does listen to it's customers when it comes to stuff like this. Hopefully, they will stick to the 1/4" when it comes to the Gs and Ps1k.

ha! no, that was a pic I posted a few weeks ago of my old Gs1ki. I was just commenting that I liked it better (asthetically) than the new e version better. Well, that was yesterday, today is a whole 'nother day!

As a former Sony R10 owner (now a vintage classic), I like the GS1000e better and I think they are a fair comparison both being dynamic. The mids and vocals of the GS are palpable and real and have a nice texture.
The mids are not hashy and also not too smoothed over; they are just right, not dry and not glossy.

Went to the Nashville Meet this last weekend, out of all the great headphones there the PS1000's were my favorite. The Ethers are fantastic, but you can keep your LCD 3's and HD800's, give me a pair of PS1000s!!!! (please)

Man, I sure LOVE the Ps1000. I've been on a bit of a spending spree lately trying different headphones/flavors and the only conclusion so far is that I LOVE the Ps1000 even MOAR!!
 
I'm getting real close to selling just about everything and just leaving the Ps1k, my pink driver Rs1 and maybe my modded sr225 as my cans. Everything else can (probably) go!

I've did the same with trying whatever HP I could which were comparable in price/performance of the PS1K, and like you said…it only made me want too hear my PS1K's when I was supposed too be listening to the other HP's I was comparing then too!
The same goes for my RS1i/325is's when comparing price/performance HP's in their range.

I just ordered and received the EarZonk case from Amazon, and my headphones (SR125e) fit fine. The top part of the case includes a net to carry accessories and they also throw in a pair of L-Cushions for free. The case and zipper feel substantial. So far so good.

and the ps1000's love the lyr

and the ps1000's love the lyr

Would that be the Lyr 2, with its switchable low impedance output, over the original Lyr? (I have neither, but had the Lyr 2 on my mental shopping list as being better suited for Grados).

either, i haven't heard the ps1k's with the lyr 2, but i have heard the lyr 1 and ps1k's together, i think it's safe to say the lyr 2 would be just fine amping the big boy grado's

Thanks for the report. Mine is coming in the mail today!

Just me, but I sold my PS1000 (I actually had 2 of them, 1 recabled) in favor of the GS1000 (first i version, now the e). The PS was more punchy, especially in the bass, but the GS (the new e version especially) is more evenhanded from top to bottom and the the images are just a perfect balance of silky and defined.
