Reminds me of the photo of a Porsche with a license plate that says, "Was His."
Congrats on a great deal.

Grado guarantees no degradation of data quality with Grado headphones while using their USB cable.

My external hdd thinks that belkin cables are much more transparent with the data than the dynex, but my wireless mouse thinks it's just a placebo effect. Who knows.

I believe it's a silver-based biomimetic self-healing alloy. Kind of a mini-Terminator IV: Rise of the Transmission Rates.

thats pretty funny....

The USB cable makes the deal that much sweeter.

I prefer the ultra wide bandwidth Joe Grado USB cable better. But John's isn't bad either.

I'm curious aswell.

The USB cable sounds as expected. No flaws there.

For the headphones, some of you may know I was a relatively earlier adopter, who soon sold his GS1K out of disappointment with the midrange. I'm no Grado fanboy and the only reason I originally purchased them was the rumors of them being unGrados. A better RS1 is likely still behind a HD650 and K701 in my book. So at a few meets I tried the GS1K with just the Lavry, then a MPX3, a Zana Deux, Mapletree Ear+... even a RA1 (which was especially disappointing as I knew it was used for development) and nothing satisfied. I don't know if it's my different equipment (home and portable), bad memory, likely different expectations and/or possibly fluctuations in the production line, but these are much better (using some of the same test tracks as before). The midrange is far less recessed and easier to tweak. Vocals sound great which I'd never say before.... or at least seems so after a whopping two hours of listen.

We'll see over time, but right now I'm very happy.

Glad to hear they are working out so far... look forward to more impressions to come.
