Without PhD-type dissertation, I will say that RS-1 "button" is for me the best of the Reference Series - past or present. It is bettered only by PS2000e.Thanks for your tips @plakat and @jonathan c ! Did some more reading and decided to keep looking for a PS2000e and maybe try a GS3000x if I see a good deal (in EU). Back when I got the 3Ke, I could also have gotten an X… maybe decided on the wrong one there… let’s see!
Anyone have extensive experience with the GH1 next to GH2, GH4, (and maybe even RS1 Button) they want to share here? (or link to previous post if covered already)
I must admit your “statement” that can never be fixed is making it sound “that can never be fixed” gives the illusion that the statement is a “FACT” which it is not and should Not have been stated that way. It is nothing more than your opinion (maybe guess would be more appropriate). You are of course you as all of us are certainly entitled to an opinion and that is all it is.Good luck with the sale. I would never spend that much on a headphone that can no longer be serviced, despite claims that headphones can last "decades" with love and care. It's more of a collection piece than something I'd want to actually use. I wonder how many Sony R10s are still working, as those drivers were made of biocellulose and degrade over time...
It seems this one is definitely a keeper too! They Don't sound bright at all!!! I really like them the X series the first one I tried and it's really awesome.Don't forget to break it in before you send it back...
Yes, the SR325x does lead to more purchases... It's a bargain!It seems this one is definitely a keeper too! They Don't sound bright at all!!! I really like them the X series the first one I tried and it's really awesome.
The fact is that Joseph Grado, as well as John Chapais, Grado's chief engineer back in the day, are dead, and Grado (the company) won't service the HP1000 anymore. Can it still be serviced? Technically yes, because anyone can open it up. Maybe someone has spare drivers in a drawer, or perhaps you could DIY a driver transplant from another vintage model with blackstar drivers. Can it still be serviced by the people who made it? No. Same with the Sony R10. That was my point. Anyone who buys a vintage headphone assumes risk. Don't know why you went on an unhinged rant about that.I must admit your “statement” that can never be fixed is making it sound “that can never be fixed” gives the illusion that the statement is a “FACT” which it is not
Right to the point, thanks for the info…,Test
I knew John Chapais well and he was quite talented and a fine fellow. Likewise I dealt a lot with Joe and he introduced his first signature product at a seminar in the audio salon I worked at in Manhattan.The fact is that Joseph Grado, as well as John Chapais, Grado's chief engineer back in the day, are dead, and Grado (the company) won't service the HP1000 anymore.

Exactly!Did you think your backhanded good luck wish with the sale followed by your opinionated statement it could not be fixed would be of service or a help to me to sell them. You really stepped on my toes or was that hard for to realize.
