riceboy Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Some pics from my archive!!! in a David Putty voice... "Gotta support the team" Woot. Go NINERS Even though their offense sucks I should post a pic like that in my Rathman jersey Hey there is my old HP-2 . Glad you're enjoying them Elephas. Quote
Elephas Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 Hi riceboy, your HP-2 is being handled and taken care of better than the PS-1. I won't let anything except air touch the lettering. Every time I listen to it I imagine a "virtual air dielectric field" around the housings. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound so good with the RSA Raptor, Lehmann Black Cube Linear or AT-HA5000, the three dynamic amps I have. I'm planning to go balanced, but this HP-2 is the one headphone I can't recable. So I've placed an order for a Zana Deux. Quote
Nanoha Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 So I've placed an order for a Zana Deux. Awesome! Quote
Elephas Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 Estimated delivery is sooner than I expected, mid-December. It will be a showdown between the Zana Deux and Raptor. I'm hoping the Grados will improve. If the PS-1 gets any better, it might even move past the L3000 on the "Top 5 List." Quote
humanflyz Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 It will be a showdown between the Zana Deux and Raptor. This is not even a contest lol. Quote
darkless Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 I'm hoping the Grados will improve. If the PS-1 gets any better, it might even move past the L3000 on the "Top 5 List." I can't wait to hear how the PS-1 vs L3000 "battle of bass" will turn out. Quote
Elephas Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 I've been using an adapter for the XLR recabled PS-1 and L3000. The PS-1 definitely has strong bass impact and quantity. The first time I listened to it was a "Whoa, I'm getting pounded," experience. I've never thought of myself as a basshead, instead thinking that I value soundstage, imaging, details, air, separation, and other "high-refinement" type qualities. But after listening for a while, the heavy bass seemed to recede and smooth over as I became more used to the sound. The PS-1 also has very good details, separation and air. Imaging and soundstage isn't up to R10 or O2 standards, but the L3000's isn't either. This is with the Raptor, Lehmann and AT-HA5000. Hopefully the Zana Deux will be an ear-opening experience. If the PS-1 and L3000 get any better, they'll be competitive versus electrostats; the PS-1 would take on the HE60 and the L3000 vs. the SR-007. Quote
hYdrociTy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 I'm listening to posty's dark wood rs1's with no serial number. They sound so good. I think the k501 and er4's were Grado's minions sent beforehand to shape up my ears and get me used to glaring treble, then the big daddy vinty-rs1 comes in and finishes me off. Once hater, now worshiper. Thanks jack Quote
philodox Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 It will be a showdown between the Zana Deux and Raptor.Well, I haven't heard the Zana Deux, but I've heard one of the older and cheaper Eddie Current tube amps [Mike, what was the model number?] and I'd say that unless you just REALLY like the sound signature of the Raptor, the Zana will stomp it into the ground. Just a guess though, of course. Quote
Elephas Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 I recall reading about vintage RS-1s sounding better and less bright/harsh than recent units. But the K501 with glaring treble? I thought it had fairly neutral and not emphasized, definitely not harsh or bright. Its midrange is superb, one of the best and in my memory always somehow better than the K701's. Too bad about its non-existent bass. Quote
