Bare in mind it is work in progress , and still alot to come. Don't know how many of these will come (500-1000), but I can imagine loads of reviews/comparisons popping up. Well after reading your I also realized it is a bit different. If you want me to change it for this one here I will do so |

The RS-2 are a more forward intimate kind of phone than the other Grados, with a smaller soundstage and more prominent mids. They didn't sound good with flats (muddy congested), and were a little bass shy with bowls. The RS-2 brightened up with my APS re-cable, and became crisper and cleaner, and richer - getting closer to the RS-1, but the soundstage presentation and overall personality did not change much. The RS-1 still had a bigger soundstage and put you on the first row instead of on stage. The HF-2 is closer to the RS-1 than it is to the RS-2, and at CanJam I was liking the HF-2 more than the stock RS-1 in the TTVJ room. They do retain some of the richer mids and vocals of the RS-2 but do not over-do it this time. But, here at home my APS V3 RS-1 still have more detail and extension, but they are not hugely better than the HF-2. For the price the HF-2 are a steal and I could be happy without the RS-1 now that I have my HD800 and HF-2. I can't compare "speed" because I sold the RS-2 last summer after in depth comparos with my RS-1 and woodied recabled HF-1. All three had the APS V3 cable which makes it hard to compare to another with a stock cable, especially when you can't do it side by side. I am fairly sure you WILL be selling the RS-2 after the HF-2 arrive. |
