The money comes from both Grado Labs and from TTVJ. We are very pleased to be able to offer this product both as a very fine limited edition headphone and as a way to gain unity and community among all of us who are headphone junkies (and I know all about being a junkie, eh!). Please feel free to call with questions but for right now the unveiling of the HF-2 is reserved for 10AM Saturday morning. You will be able to see them and get impressions from those in attendance. The first orders should start shipping the first week of June after CanJam. Please remember that I will be attending and I will have to get back home and get started on this project! That does not mean you cannot call to ask when - just know we will be doing everything we can to get them to you asap. Jude and I are the only folks to actually hear them and we both think very highly of the HF-2. I am backing this up with my 30 day money back guarantee! Here are the rules to buying the HF-2... 1. You MUST be a Head-Fi member and put your Head-Fi user name in the comments section of the order. 2. Only one HF-2 can be purchased per member. 3. You must have at least 5 posts on Head-Fi to qualify (we will be checking) 4. Sorry but we cannot apply discounts to this product I also want to note that you can call in your order - I look forward to hearing from you. Todd

As for their being a special and limited edition that will depend on sales and a limited amount of time. Right now that information is being reserved. I will say that there will be plenty available for a while. As I stated, I will let everyone know when the end is near so that last minute purchasers will have a chance. I will not announce the end of the HF-2 abruptly. Grado Labs will be making them in batches and that is how we will be shipping them. They will ship as fast as we possibly can and as fast as Grado Labs can build them without disrupting their normal operations. Todd

The wood boxes will work for any of the headphones from Grado Labs. Pizza Box it is but it will be numbered and signed just like the HF-1. Some of you are getting very warm on the build of the HF-2. And just think - it is less than 12 days until it will be revealed. Thanks again to all who have ordered. Todd

On 05-21-2009 Todd adds the following clue as to the makeup of the HF2s:

No x-ray vision glasses please... I will be getting mine here today so I can break it in for the show. Can't you just picture it Another clue... There is no 1/4 to 1/8th adapter - the HF-2 comes terminated 1/4" Todd

On 05-30-2009 The following Review Repository Thread is begun by Bullseye - it is filled with immense amount of reviews day in and day out maintained tirelessly by it's creator:

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/gra...5/#post5724060

Also, on 05-30-2009, The head-fi community sees the first online reveal of the HF-2s @ TTVJ.com while those @ Can Jam get a much nicer experience in person with the original, and quite legendary, amount of 24 "THE GRADO HEAD-FI HF-2" phones which those attendees had the opportunity to purchase at such time....these would be the only ones of their kind and the rest would be known by another name...


On 7/07/09 the following post by Todd(TTVJ) addresses concerns that are self-evident in the post:

Originally Posted by Todd /img/forum/go_quote.gif Hi All, It appears an error has occurred on the HF-2. The engraving does indeed have Grado Head-F1 Headphone HF2 on the aluminum enclosure. First I would like to make it completely clear that the error was not spotted before the headphones were shipped by either Grado Labs or by TTVJ. Had either of us noticed the error we would have announced it and given you the option to buy it or not. So here is the deal… there are enough enclosures done this way to produce 500 HF-2 headphones. There is no way to correct the F1 engraving error and the remaining HF-2 headphones will be built and sold with the current engraving. As it stands now, we are going to make the cutoff for the HF-2 at 500 headphones or July 31st. – whichever comes first. There are currently about 400 orders placed. I currently have more of the HF2 headphones in stock and ready to ship. To ship your orders on hand I would like your confirmation that you still want the HF-2 (please e-mail us at todd@ttvj.com). On Friday shipments will resume to confirmed orders. Grado Labs is still building and shipping 50 a week to me until 500 are sold or whatever the number is on July 31st. Both John and I apologize for this but we both feel strongly that this is a great headphone at a great price. We will leave it up to you as to whether or not you can live with the cosmetic error. John has graciously volunteered to send an additional $10 to Head-Fi for each HF-2 sold which could mean up to as much as $5000 additional funds for Head-Fi! Todd

....and another post addresses forementioned self-explanatory concerns:

What I wrote was not a take it or leave it proposition - at least not with an attitude. I gave everyone the opportunity to cancel their orders - or keep them and get a headphone that is underpriced for its performance and was GIVEN to this community out of friendship. A few have questioned our integrity and I will not even bother addressing that. Anyone who knows John Grado or me personally or have done business with us knows better. To those of you who canceled your orders - I have no hard feelings and hope you do not either. To those of you who have kept your orders ( the vast majority) I say Thank you!!! As for the $10 - it is going to Head-Fi and so it is being given back to the customers - just indirectly. Every one who ordered one is a member here and will benefit from the sale by being able to be part of this community. The $10 is from John Grado and TTVJ has nothing to do with that donation. I am grateful to all those who are participating in this event and look forward to serving you and reading your impressions. Todd

Thanks to all of you for your patience and for your business. To those of you who have received their HF-2 - I hope you are enjoying them and that they have met your expectations. I know there have been a few sets with problems and those will be taken care of - just give me a call and arrangements will be made. To those of you who e-mailed me last week - I had a serious family problem and did not get to all of my e-mail. I am back in the office and if you did not get a reply resend it and I will answer it asap. I am sorry for this but I had to take care of some personal business. Todd

Shortly thereafter all HF-2 stock was gone.
