Grado GS2000e Loaner program

[Todd]

HI All,
 

 
 
Looking for 6 Grado fans to review the NEW GS2000e headphones, rules below... the pair we are sending out have a little over 100 hours on them and are terminated with a 4 pin balanced bable and a 1/4" adapter cable is included.
 

Loaner Program Rules:
 
Send your name and address as well as a telephone number and your Head-Fi user name to me at todd@ttvjaudio.com. Do NOT PM me as you will not be included in the program without an email.
You will get the loaner for 1 week to use in your home with your system. After your one week is up, you must send it to the next loaner participant. Email me (todd@ttvjaudio.com) the tracking info so I can pass it on to the recipient.
Write a review and post it in this loaner thread. It must be posted in this  thread . Please do not post it somewhere else!
Once you have received the loaner, email me to let me know you have it and I will send the address for the next person.
Our loaner programs are USA only. We are restricted from shipping/selling outside the USA on most products.

I can't wait to hear about everyone's impressions with this one.

If the program becomes available, I would be interested in taking part of the evaluation process.

Thanks.

I can't thank Todd enough for his generosity on his loaner programs. I am very interested in the comparison to my HP2 and GH1.

Has the tour list been posted anywhere?

  Has the tour list been posted anywhere?

You mean so that those who are domiciled outside the US of A can have a focus for their jealousy?

The GS2Ke arrived this morning.  Below are a few photos of the opening:
 



Audio Specs: 
Transducer Type: Dynamic 
Operating Principle: Open Air 
Frequency Response: 4 - 51,000 hz 
SPL 1mW: 99.8 dB 
Normal Impedance: 32 ohms 
Driver Matched dB: .05 dB
 
The loaner pair is terminated with the 4 pin XLR.  Included is an adapter to the standard 1/4 inch plug.  Also included is a standard 1/4 inch extension cable from the same Grado wire used on the headphones.  
 
I plan to mainly listen to the GS2Ke through a LH Labs Pulse Infinity v2.0 with the LPS4 balanced into a Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon.  The tunes will be delivered from Roon through a LH Labs 2G USB cable.  
 
I am looking forward to a very enjoyable week.  I had been thinking about the Dharmas but just a first short listen suggest I need to step back and spend quality time with these. 
 
I have created a playlist in Roon as follows for my evaluation:
 
Joe Bonamassa - Different Shades of Blue
Eric Clapton - Layla
The Beatles - Hey Jude
The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun
The Beatles - Let It Be
Halie Loren - I've Got You Under My Skin
Halie Loren - Tango Lullaby
Anne Bisson - Little Black Lake
Anne Bisson - Blue Mind
Anne Bisson - I Live In a Treehouse
Lyn Stanley - The Last Dance
Lyn Stanley - Misty
Diana Krall - From This Moment On
Diana Krall - Straighten Up and Fly Right
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - Cheek to Cheek
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - I Won't Dance
Faith Hill - Cry
Faith Hill - When the Lights Go Down
