Lol!! +1 for the "your wife is definitely a keeper" hahaha
Guys, I have an Audio engine D1 as DAC/ Amp. I am just wondering if I is it worth getting a tube amp such as the Little Dot 1 + hybrid tube amp? I have a PS500s.....
I've been happily using my SR80's for a few years, trying to justify (to myself) purchasing a higher end model after lustfully auditioning them a few times a year, every year.
My wife just shocked me with an early Christmas present, PS-500's, so I'm feeling pretty fantastic at the moment!
I want your wife.
That is really scary.
OK, OK ... this is a stupid question and on another forum I know, would get me laughed off of the Internet. But ... I own and love the SR-225, HF-1, and HF-2. My question is, does the RS-1 offer any improvements or differences over those three that would justify $695? Would building a Turbulent Labs Grado from scratch (except for the frame) be better?
Haven't heard the HF series, don't know a thing about the HF-2. Versus the SR-225, yes the RS-1 are a big improvement - they get you out of the "wall of sound" presentation and into a nice 3D bubble (small, but 3D). Much smoother and more "grown up" sounding as well. From what I've read about HF-1/RS-1 comparisons, the RS-1 are tighter and smoother sounding there too. They're the best example of the John Grado on-ear design, and among the best dynamic I've ever heard.
I love my Rs-2, but now your making me want an Rs-1!
I've never actually heard the RS-2; I'm curious about them though, because on one hand they're described as very similar (I think Grado uses the term "little brother"), and the other as flatter/smoother. The later would actually be more interesting to me, but I went with the RS-1 because I figured if I saved the money and got the RS-2, I'd second-guess myself and want the RS-1. I did not, however, follow that out to completion and realize that I'd end up second guessing *not* getting the RS-2...
