The K-1000's are better than the PS-1 to me and not by a litte bit. When I got home I listened to my GS-1000s on my system to compare to iamdones, then to my K-1000s and it seemed to easily differentiate itself from all 3 phones that we were trying that same day. I believe you can get them for under $1K. And with the extra grand you can get a CD player and amp to go with it.
The L3000’s are on par with PS-1?
Not from what I’ve read. I am definitely interested in trying the HP1,2 and L3000.
I felt the RS-1 was a value, the GS-1000 was priced about right, and the PS-1 was overpriced at $1,400 (used), but if people want to spend $2K, have at it. I imagine collectors might be driving the price up just like vinyl collectors are jacking up prices for us audiophiles with turn tables like myself.

Unfortunately, I’m in the same boat space-wise. I had to turn down hosting a mini meet with some people in Berkeley because I had plans to move. Those plans have been delayed.
Since we aren’t in a rush to do this. I’ll start to think about options. I would love to bring my K-1000s and amp/source. Also, there is a gentleman in Sacramento that has K-1000 with upgraded cable that was interested in letting me hear them, so...
I think there would be enough people to make something happen down the road.
