February issue of Stuff, page 54... Fabio is talking about his $2,000,000 audio/video setup and it has a picture of him holding what seems to be some Grados. Its really hard to tell what kind they are, as he has his hand over the earpiece. I'll try to get a picture of it in a sec...

My HP-2's arrived safely but sure do smell their age! The foam ear pads have a bit of a frowsy/musty odor. Has anyone had any luck in finding something that would work for replacement ear pads? It doesn't even have to be a Grado product - anything that works for you works for me.

http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=45868 Quote: I have, with the permission of John Grado, ordered the original flat pads and will have them by mid October. Pre-orders will get them for $25 a pair and they will sell for $30 when they are in stock. These are the exact earpad...

Please note, the only headphone wich I've heard (and actually own) from this list is HD800,HD650 and HD600   Some out-of-production headphones went to the headphone heaven. They were really expensive and well build headphones, they were told that they are the statement products, but does one...

If you are at all interested in Grado's you might want to visit their website. Looks like they have done an across the board upgrade to their entire line of headphones, calling the new ones the 'E' series. I almost bought a GS1000i , but now I am glad I didn't. I feel sorry for anyone who did...

Just curious as to which pads the HP1000 owners are using on their HP 1 or 2 or 3. The general consensus is that the HP series is much more neutral and better sounding than the RS-1, but I was wondering if this claim is with the bowl pads or the original flat donut pads. I have built...

I have had a pair of Joe's "improved" earpads for a couple of weeks. I thought I would post a little information for anyone who may be interested.   As far as how they sound, simply put, consider getting two pair. The HP1000 is soooo dependent upon the earpads. The replacement ones offered...

I just missed the auction by 3 minutes. A really nice looking pair of HP-1000's (fully functional) went for $45.00 + $10 shipping on eBay. Now, that's $55.00 well spent! I cannot find the link now, as it just ended a few minutes ago. I don't think it's in the completed cue yet. But it was a...

The following is a summary of the main characteristics of the new Grado PS-1 Pro headphones (i.e. all I could confirm): - Dimensions: very similar to RS-1 - Headband, etc.: very similar to SR-325 (not like HP-1000) - Looks: very similar to SR-325 (aluminium cups, no wood) - Earpads...

After considerable thought and thanks to the input of everyone at Head-Fi, I have made a list of the "most beautiful looking headphones ever made." You may vote for more than one. I have not included "mods" or custom made headphones. I also know there are several headphones that are not on this...

Forget the sound, forget the comfort.. what's the most stylish looking pair of cans.. In order: 1. Sennheiser 2. Sony 3. AKG 4. Koss 5. Etys 6. Beyerdynamic 7. Grado whatchya think?

I was talking to another headfier and we talking about the Audio Technica's and the subject of the AT-W2002 came up. We both instantly agreed this is the most gorgeous cans we have ever seen. While I have not heard one and therefore cannot comment on the sound. My top 3: 1. Audio Technica...

Hey y'all, if you won the lottery today, what audio gear would you purchase tomorrow? I'd get an AudioQuest Diamond USB cable>Schiit Yggdrasil>Decware Taboo III&Schiit Ragnarok>Audeze LCD3 (balanced for Ragnarok)&Grado RS1/HP1000 for Taboo. I'll post the speaker rig tomorrow :p

Anyone interested in a rare set of cans?  These are the Grado HP-1000 Mint condition - hardly used.  Lettering in tact completely foam is good and original no box.   This pair has been very well taken care of. Would consider legit offers - these are expected to go for over 2k I...

One of the things I never liked about the HP1000s was a certain shoutyness that they had in the midrange. I came up with an idea a long time ago after measuring the liberated drivers of the SR80: http://www.head-fi.org/t/566929/headphone-csd-waterfall-plots/105#post_7735041 I realized this...

Important notice: there have been at least two reported Head-Fiers' HP-1000 cases (tamahome77 and rdreyer's) turning awry to very awry on Joseph Grado's side. They both have been waiting for over a year without any clear, sincere indication of what was happening to their headphone. We've also...

Most of the flagship phones that sound so nice have a Vulcan-mind-meld presentation where you are at one with the sound, a kind of super intimacy. This seems pretty standard, and is mesmerizing, but after a session with one of these, when I get tired of listening, somehow I find it very...

Hey I was wondering if any of you drivers savvy people could help me out on the subject of the Grado HP 1000 driver:   Pictures, then I'll explain   It's about this driver ("black star", you might have heard about it):   View from the back (the driver is inside the HP 1000...

As I've just sold my Grado HP1000/HP2, I thought I'd offer some impressions that have accumulated from just over 3 months of ownership. Equipment heard with Grado HP2 includes: - Home setup: Plinius CD-101, dCS P8i, & bel canto CD-1 CDPs w/ DIY balanced Beta 22 (balanced & single-ended) -...
