HI All,

I am going to be charging the cards early next week. if this is a problem for anyone drop me an e-mail and we can work something out.

As for those of you who paid via PayPal - my website could not be adjusted for the 2% off for newsletter subscribers but that cannot be applied to this sale. I will send out PayPal request for the 2% back on Monday. It will not change anyone's position but again I cannot offer these with any of the discounts. Those of you who ordered with other items will still get the 2% off on those items.

I am checking out of Head-Fi to spend time with my wife for our date night. Have a great evening and i will be back in the morning to catch up.

Todd

This is awesome. Too bad that they will surely be sold out for good by the time I have the money and am back in town to purchase them. Not a happy thought, but I can dream that Grado will meet the head-fi demand completely.

Man I called around 11am this morning before the post. If I knew it would explode this fast (or that he wasn't charging on order before I could get to the bank to deposit cash this afternoon but rather next week sometime!) I would have ordered then

I hope I can still get mine fairly early as it's only less than 10 hours after the post.

I'm definitely an HF-1 enthusiast and fondly remember the excitement of getting a great sounding can for $200 (at that time I had an SR-225).

However, since nowadays I've worked my way to an RS-1, I wonder if this HF-2 has any appeal for me (other than the Head-fi support aspect). It would need to be better than the RS-1 to get much listening time..and that's a tall order for $429.

Time to play the waiting game and hope my hands dont do the buying before the time comes around with peoples impressions.

 

[cityfear]

argh.. how i wish i have 429 bucks beside me now

 

[DoYouRight]

Come on! You know you wanna bite Townyj! Especially for the fact of supporting Head-Fi! If they sell enough they could easily get $20K in donations. That would either make this site crazy with offers? Or more secure. Maybe transition to Gazelle! Or even pass it down to us and off us deals on items maybe?

Crazy with curiousity as to what Head-Fi will upgrade with such funds and glad that they will get it from all of our help. We get amazing and rare phones just for us and Head-Fi gets support in one fell swoop!

 

[Grimspoon]

So if the HF-2 is described as a baby PS-1000, is it safe to say it performs better than the RS-1i and GS-1000i?

Like yourself, I own the RS1 (bought used on head-fi) and yes it will be shootout to see which can will stay. The HF-2 being a limited can, should be an easy sell on the FS forum if the RS1 trumps it. This is exciting, new flagship cans from Grado and Sennheiser and now a release of a limited edition Grado spawned from the cult following of HF-1's.

In the other thread, todd said he's charging the cards this week

 

[SemiAudiophile]

would you guys say the HF1 sounded like something in between the 325i and RS1 but with different sound signature? i'm so curious how the HF2 will sound (and look). i wish i wasn't broke right now...this would make such a good collectible.

 

[That dude]

Oh god! I'm actually thinking of buying these! I loved the HF-1s ever since I heard them, but I couldn't bring myself to fork out the price they have appreciated to. I'm not a grado fan in general, but I'm definitely a HF-1 fan!

I've just got enough in my bank account for these, if, the shipping to singapore isn't too expensive.
