  I would like to order one of those Grado RCA cables, but I have a problem. I admit that computers are not my forte, but that link brings me to what looks like a German website. This may surprise you, but German is not my forte either.  

 
Help me....please!

Its a Dutch store!
I got mine after asking help from a dutch friend!
If you are really willing to buy them my friend can help you I think!

  speaking of Joseph Grado Signature Cables;
 
the cable used on the powerblock feeding my PH-1 is also a JGS cable for some reason. it's very flexible. does anybody know why they would have used those for this purpose? (it delivers power, not audio signal)

Audio signals (ac) are actually converted power signals (dc) so if we suppose that the JGS cable has very clear conductors and is well shielded, the main power that delivers is clear so then your audio signal will be clear!
Its a main philosophy behind it but its true!
 
btw can you post a picture of it?

I doubt it really makes such a difference.

This is actually a HPA-1/2 AC adapter!!
The only changed the plug to make it fit on the PH-1!!
 
Anyway as I said that's the main concept behind it . I never tried but I do believe if there any noise this will distort the audio signal abit!

so does this mean i have an early PH-1?

of course if the power is fluctuating it will affect the sound, but i doubt the cable will be the bottleneck

PH-1 production started at 1999. you can check the serial number of your preamp.
Did you got it brand new?

i got it 2nd hand for cheap. serial number -might be-  5771, which is written in black marker on the black bottom, or it is 46, which is written on the inside of the bottom plate, and on the inside on the wood.

Does anybody know if the cables on the older RS1 headphones are longer than the cables on the RS1i.
 
The cables seem longer on my pair now.......like maybe 7 ft.
 
I do not remember my RS1i being this long, but it has been awhile since I have owned them.....might just be my imagination playing tricks on me

Its 5771,the 46 is the match number the plate and chassis, not so early product but again the production of the PH-1 was not so. I think alittle more than 10000 units and then it was obsolete for some reason.
I used to own an PH1 for sometime but I sold it cause built a replica with "battery" power supply, It was abit more silent than the ac power supply when I listen through the phones!
