Like most (all?) Grados, the HF2 has 4 or more conductors, which means you can just chop and reterminate.

Great news! Thank you, Todd, and I'm hoping to be in on the first shipment.
Also, when do you expect the order cutoff to be? Interest will jump once a few more of these hit the street.

Thanks for the info, Todd. Also, damn. I am probably in the high 100s, so at least 3 weeks wait.

Thank you Todd for the update! Any possibility of posting the screen names and what order they fall in the queue?

I'm probably in the fourth batch... that puts me at a five to six week wait? The fourth week of July is a long ways off with no other headphones to listen to... Dammit, why didn't I just do the irresponsible thing and order before I knew that I'd be able to pay for them!
Ugh, considering canceling my order and buying another can...
EDIT: Well the roll call thread only has 230 posts in it, many of which aren't official posts. So that puts around 125-135 buyers who haven't posted in that thread that they were buying... depending on if the majority of those were before or after CanJam I might be 200+, maybe even in the 250+ batch. Six or seven more weeks with no headphones but the KSC75s don't seem like its worth the wait. Time to see if their are any good deals in the for sale forums!

Perhaps some people don't want their purchases made public. I'm also guessing the man has other things to do instead of typing up name lists, or answering a slew of emails asking, "Am I first? Am I next?" I think most intelligent folks can ballpark from when they ordered (i.e., the first day, first couple days, or later on).

Why? Do you want to compound your one ooops (though I do respect financial responsibility) with another? I'll gladly donate some stock earbuds to help you out.

Nice news! I hope I am in the first batch too. That means my # would be <=70 which is not bad at all

I totally understand and respect the confidentiality of the members and that Todd has great customer service and I know he is trying to get these cans to buyers ASAP.
I ordered the same day they were offered so I guess I will peg myself in the first or second batch.

Thanks, but I've got the 75s to see me through... sorta. Meh, if I could just sell my classical guitar I'd buy a Stax system and say the heck with it. I'm just whining more than anything, obv. No deals I'm really interested in on the FS forums anyway...

A small question. I chose to pay by paypal. And I was directly charged when I placed the order. Is anybody like me? thanks!
