just curious, do people buy the insurance when shipping loaners?

I did. It does not seem Todd should be out if something happened to them.

I went with USPS since they deliver 6 days a week.

  My time is up so I have shipped them off today to the next lucky person.  They were shipped USPS Priority Mail and currently are scheduled for Monday delivery.

Now its decision time!

At this point, I am not ready to commit as there are several additional headphones coming out in the near future.  But I will say if at all possible I would buy from Todd.

Looking forward to the new HP's coming out, any info on them?

Hey guys, I received the loaner pair of Gs2000e today. They got here safe and sound (thanks @AudioAddict). Unfortunately I will be gone on a mini vacation till late tomorrow and decided not to bring the Gs2ke with me since they are not mine and I don't want to risk having anything happen to them.
I'll report back when I get a chance to listen to them and give some initial impressions...
Can't wait to hear them!

You can always ship them to me so that I can test them for you.

Glad they made it safe and sound.

So after a few days I FINALLY get a good chance to hear the Gs2ke. I've been up all night and have been listening to them for the last 2 - 3 hours. 
 
First impressions...
 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 
Very refined headphone with excellent tonality. Soundstage is wide but also deep, it does 3d imaging very well. Very good dynamics when the track calls for it. (check out "I'm a man" by the band Chicago).
I do not detect harshness or have come across any sibilance really. Treble is refined. through my listening session tonight the shaker in many tracks kept grabbing my attention (in a good way) were the darn thing actually sounds like a shaker and not just one solid blob of sound. 
 
Bass tonality and weight seems to be spot on in my book, though not sub bass (this is a Grado after all)...
 
well, like I said, I've been up all night and it's time to hit the hey. besides the fact that my laptop is out of battery and fixing to die any minute now. MUST FINISH THIS POST BEFORE IT DIES!!! Lol!
 
more to come later........

Thanks to Todd The Vinyl Junkie for adding me to the GS2000e Loaner Program, despite having the originally-intended number of folks signed up ahead of me!  I look forward to comparing them to the GH1/G, the GS1000i, and others of my 25-Grado collection (e.g., GS1000e, PS1000e) and perhaps some non-Grados (e.g., HiFiMAN HE1000), using my 10-feature, 3-way ranking method.  I estimate that given my place in line, I will receive them early-to-mid September, 2016.
 
I look forward to placing them in the ranking of my Grados.  My suspicion, given those who have said that they are like the GS1000i but with more bass, is that they will end up on top!
