I've been spoiled...

Are you trying to say that my K340's are stacked?

Not surprising I guess... I am a tits and ass guy, why shouldn't that go for headphones as well?

[Nanoha]

In your case the K340 is the woman you married.

Rofl.

Arghhhh. A PS-1 is up for sale. >$2100 though. Damn, that seems a little bit above the $1.8-2.0k I was expecting. Not that I can afford them anyways.

So the HPs aren't worth it if the recording sucks? Most of my recordings are total crap though. That might be a problem...

[Dusty Chalk]

no, i think they have completely different signatures. the PS-1 has a lot of bass, but it has that slightly hot treble that the RS-1 has. the HP-2 has no brightness if you don't feed it a bright signal.

This probably most accurately reflects my impressions as well.

Unfortunately, excellent condition HP-1000s are starting to go for over $2000 as well.

[Dusty Chalk]

Hey HP-2 owners/fans, can the HP-2 do classical?

Yes, absolutely.

Are you serious? (considers selling his HP-2's which he hardly ever listens to)

[tkam]

I haven't seen any go for over $2k but very frequently they go for $1500.

Well I should say I've seen people asking for them in excess of $2K. Not sure if any sell for that much.

[Nanoha]

Madness I tell you.

What are differences between the HP1000 and HP2 btw? I read the long vintage Grado thread last year, but it wasn't too clear.

[deepak]

HP-1000 is the series number and includes the models HP-1, HP-2 and HP-3.

A bit more detail in this thread, with feedback from others

Ah ha, I see. Thanks!

Hmmm, gahh... I need money. I want that PS-1. Or perhaps HP-2. Sell it all for the Grados?

You could always sell one of your kidneys. I've heard that some places will also pay you for a partial liver donation, and unlike your kidney, your liver will grow back after they cut a chunk off it.

I don't get the PS1, save for once years ago, it's always sounded like an HD650 with more bloated bass and a narrower soundstage. The HP1000 is a different beast altogether for me.

Exactly the opposite for me, the ps1 grabbed me where I think , the hp1s were too clinical and analytical. With ps1s, I was in the music, with hp1s, I was listening to the details.

[Iron_Dreamer]

Go figure, eh? I found the HP1000 in the right system connected me to the music very directly in a way only few others can. I'd probably own a pair if not for the facts that they're discontinued, somewhat challenging to get repaired, overpriced in the current market, and heavy as heck.
