I see it, as being a strong as a lion, and yet as graceful and expedient as a gazelle. It can be called a "Gazellion"!

It could also be compared to a magic act. If you believe real hard, they might actually show up one day.

makes sense. todd will be at canjam...by the time he gets back, compiles all the orders, and gets them off, it'll be mid-june. fine by me.

That's a false sense of hope

I've been a contrairian all my life standing alone. It's a gift and a curse.

. As for the metal/wood hybrid sounding and slotting between the RS-1 and RS-2, the 325is still sounds like a Grado and I'm sure the HF-2 will sound like a Grado. :gradosmile: Quote:

And how would a metal/wood hybrid sound like something in between two all-wood designs?

It will probably work the other way around and serve as the catalyst that forces the upgrade.

There is a small matter of upgrading my source. That seems to be the weakest link in my system. I figure I need a better source if I am gonna invest in >$1.5 K headphones. So I am hoping I can resist the temptation based on priorities.

no, you're not insane...perhaps head-fi is a casual thing for you...

i don't think you're going to get a much better deal than this on Grado phones in Europe, though...so if, at some point, you gain interest in this hobby, you may look back on this opportunity with regret...

i'm not sure if a trend is being established here...maybe the HF3 & 4 (5, 6, 7 & 8) are to follow...you still have the chance to pick up a used HF1 & attempt to collect them all

Well now I'm going to have to rethink my spending for next weekend. If I like what I hear I'll probably try to pick up a pair
