I can say pretty confidently that as long as Joe Grado is alive and still doing his own thing with his mics and hp1000 upgrades, John will never release anything resembling a hp1000. I would state that it's probably more out of respect for his uncle than a competitive thing (though I would not dismiss somewhat of a chip on johns shoulder, heck Joe in conversation told me he never ever listened to any of johns stuff and won't bother).
Odd. Whether it be the particular vintage or that I've used exclusively flats, they have never sounded shrill to me. If anything, at times they can be quite fuzzy, in a warm, Teddy bear cuddly kind of way.
The hf2 is a nice alternative if you are not into the rs1 or don't want to pony up for a ps1 or hp1000. Like Jacob the hp1000 is my favorite can making any other Grado pretty irrelevant to me outside the random taste for some rs1 flavor.
I wouldn't bother. The rs2 is basically a handicapped very compressed in your face version of the rs1. Whereas the rs1 has legitimate soundstage, the rs2 is basically in your face and just sounds compressed. It's like someone took a pile of crap and smashed it in your face. The rs1 is way more refined sounding, and actually has a nice openness in comparison to the rs2.
Yup, I've been paying attention to making sure I had a midfoot strike, though I will say it kind of occurs naturally the way the shoe is that you land with your midfoot.
Picked up a pair of the NB minimus trails, really nice shoes. Did a light run today,felt pretty good. There definitely is some increased stress on the foot and calf, but my lower back, which used to always ache after running, feels great.
Well the darn thing won't turn on. Google comes up with a couple of hard resets, both don't work. Don't have another box or power adapter to test that. It was being real funky yesterday and kept on trying to re update when it had been updated already. Yarg!!!
I'm still not understanding why you couldn't get a refund. You don't have a product in hand and I am sure most state consumer law backs you up in this scenario.
Whether it's because they are calibrated very accurately to industry video standard, have the apple magic fairy dust, or combination of both, the apple displays simply look more accurate and realistic. I would imagine if you are into photography or video editing or simply need very accurate colors and picture it would be great but I believe for the price it's a bit overkill for most users.
