What's happening? Is it just by chance that so many RS-1s are suddenly up for sale? Or is there some flaw or problem we all need to be aware of? I was just thinking of an RS-1 or GS-1000 Black Dragon recabling for balanced.

Every headphone comes and goes in waves, that's how it seems. I was planning on selling my PA2V2 a few weeks back and three others showed up for sale... funny how that works.

This trend isn't limited to just the RS-1's.

Perhaps they all got a chance to hear an HP1000, GS1000 or PS-1?

Absolutely nothing is wrong. The RS-1s are world class phones, rest assured.

I didn't think I would ever part with my (2nd) pair of RS-1s, but then along came the PS-1s. Since the PS-1s came into the picture, my RS-1s just aren't getting much use any more, so off they will go to a new home.

It is just the natural ebb and flow of Head-Fi. The Head-Fi "circle of life" if you will. Happens alllll the time with popular Headphones of all brands/models.

P.S. *shameless plug* Check out my RS-1s. They are absolutely gorgeous and are in mint condition. There is a link in my sig to the sale thread. Someone please give them a good home. This could be you --->

You gotta love shameless plugs

.

P.S. *shameless plug* Check out my WTB : HP-2. They are absolutely gorgeous and I don't care about a mint condition pair. There is a link in my sig to the thread. Someone please give them a good home. This could be me --->

Yeah i was wondering about that too. Just a coincidence really. Larryminator is selling his because of his recent hp-2 purchase *here's your chance for your shameless plug*

When I started working in a big violin shop, we would have streaks when a lot of violins by some obscure maker would come in within a couple of weeks. I commented on it, and the boss said yes, that was the way it was all the time, and he didn't have an explanation. After 25 years in the business there are more than a few obscure makers whose instruments I've only seen three or four of, each all over one several week period. Maybe these things just talk behind our backs, and arrange things.

Is it just a coincidence that I was jonesing for an SR325 (not 325i) last week, and one pops up on the for-sales, at just the price I'd decided I wanted to pay (which I then bought)?

Of course not. It's obvious they finally got a chance to hear a real AKG and saw the light.

I'm new here, and a while ago I bought one for $450 CAD from a fellow head-fier..

Was that a good deal? I'm pretty sure it was but..

That's a helluva deal.

But the reason so many are for sale is because, I just bought some, brand new and you know-- murphy's law...

Yep. It's like traffic patterns. One day it's clear sailing home green after green and the next day at the same time you're stuck in traffic at 10 consecutive red lights. It just happens.

Nothing wrong I would say.
People (especially Head-Fi'ers) buy and sell headphones at a regular basis. Some will always move on, looking for the "perfect" headphone.
