100+ Head-Fier
Have you had a chance to hear the PS1000's yet? I had always assumed that was going to be my end goal as well but I did find a shop in Edmonton and auditioned them and by the time I left I realized that my Grado quest ends with the RS1i. I just found that the PS1000s sacrificed too much of what I loved about the Grado sound with rock/guitar based music. The immediacy of the music seemed to diminish and with it went the fun. The PS1000s do some things better than the RS1i (soundstage being the most obvious) but at the end of the day if I could only choose one Grado to have for the rest of my life it will easily be the RS1i (although I haven't yet heard the PS500...but that's a can of worms I don't want to open).
What I did find was that the HE500 is a great headphone to compliment the RS1i, when I want punk/metal I go for the MAD/RS1i but when I'm wanting some soul/funk etc. the HE500/Lyr gets the go ahead.

Wow lol...it's funny, cause now that I have the RS1s on the way, I feel similarly to how I did when I was watching season 3 of sons of anarchy the other night. I was enjoying the hell out of it, but at the same time I knew I only had one season left to watch...I knew I'd enjoy it quite a lot too, but it just sort of hit me that after it was done, there was nothing left on the other side! Once you get to the RS1s, you're pretty much looking at the PS1ks down the road, but once you get THERE, that's it lol. I don't know what I'm talking about...didn't get much sleep today haha.
