Grado HF-2 thread

[VPI]

No I think there are just enough "Head-Fi" HF-2s out there.

[postjack]

That is a freaking awesome deal for the HF-2. If I was Todd I'd be selling them for like $20 off, not over a hundred.

Been listening to my HF-2 a lot lately. I let my friend borrow them for a few weeks, was kind of a nice way to see how much I missed them when they were gone. I moved the CDP-2 into the headphone rig temporarily, so awesome the effect a source upgrade has.

I think I'm going to see if I can get a pair since I missed out on it the first time around. Hopefully, I'll be one of the lucky 26. Must remember not to schedule meetings on Monday.

^^ Good luck, Salty. Still enjoying the HF-2; consider them the best bang-for-buck Grado I've had the pleasure to own.

Well, Todd said these are going to have "blemishes" on them.

[atothex]

It's a little bit tempting, but I'd really need to see a photo or 2 to put my mind at ease...

[Voltron]

These are going to be snatched up in seconds, blemishes or not.

[Salt Peanuts]

Well, I've managed to avoid scheduling any meetings on Monday. Let's hope the work's rather crappy ISP cooperates on Monday and that I don't get dragged into last-minute meetings.

These strike me as perfect candidates for the first HF-2 woody. If I wasn't pooling capital for other reasons right now I'd give it a shot.

Now, there's an idea....

I'm way late to the party but here's a musing from a new HF-2 owner, had them about a week now. They make everything in the music sound good, which is incredible. The vocals are so much better than the K702, full and rich whereas K702 is very airy. I find myself grooving to just about every part of the music. But the strange thing is songs where I used to have a Wow moment... I don't seem to get those as much with the HF2. I can actually get that on my K702 more I would say. I think it might be because the HF2 makes everything sound so good, that the parts that are supposed to be noticeably better and amazing aren't anymore.

I'm still really pleased with my purchase and low volume level listening is great. I'm still getting used to the comfort, how do you guys wear them? I try to put all parts of the outside cup so they rest on my ear, which works for about an hour... then it really starts to hurt! The problem is I usually don't take them off at that point since I'm enjoying myself so much... so by the end of it my ears really hurt. I'm hoping that my ears will harden and I'll be able to listen to these for long periods of time with no discomfort.

Very tempting ...

The first 2 weeks or so were painful since the can was heavy and the pads were hard. After two sessions of pad-washing and burning in the pads with oil from my follicles, I can wear it for hours now.

If you wear glasses, prop them on top of the pads.

The TTVJ site isn't working for me now. :sad:

[n_maher]

Me neither, I'm guessing it's just like the HF-1 stuff where his site got bombed and crashed.

[grawk]

he couldn't possibly afford to scope this volume for his website

[Salt Peanuts]

So the site's apparently back up, but I still can't get to the site. Damn the crappy work ISP (not that it would be any better at home with Comcrap).

[guzziguy]

I don't think that TTVJ is up. I just tried and get a "Can't connect to Data Base" error.

[Salt Peanuts]

According to Todd, it's back up, and there's been few folks who has manged to order the B-stock. Now, I think the site is just overloaded with folks trying to get in.

Actually, I just got to headphones page then it died.

[veloaudio]

I can't get in either. Can we call him or is that not allowed for this offer?

Will they ever stop whining? I had to post something, I just couldn't stand it anymore.

I called and talked to Todd to see if he was taking phone orders due to the internet traffic killing his site. I didn't think he would, which I undertand. He feels awful about the whole thing. I told him not to as it wasn't anything he could control.

I can't beleive some of the fucking idiots slamming Todd on the HF-2 thread.

[tyrion]

Todd should go through the thread and pick the first 26 that didn't bitch and sell them the cans.

[VPI]

That would be perfect as there are some real losers on there crying now.
