First I would like to thank Ari for the opportunity to listen to the "RS-60". Now, what the heck is a Grado "RS-60" you ask" Fair question, it is a hybrid concocted by our own nikongod, member of Head-Case. He had a vintage RS-1 (w/ the brown leather band) that somehow a person managed to blow the drivers off, so he transplanted a pair of SR-60 drivers into the old RS-1 frame creating the "RS-60" which I have had for about 10 days. Here is a picture with the RS-1 to the left and the "RS-60" to the right.
So, how do they sound? As you probably imagine a lot closer than expected, but there are differences such as:
1. The treble is more extended on the stock RS-1. I can see where those who do not care for the Grado top end would choose the "RS-60".
2. The "RS-60" plays louder at the same amp volume setting, this took me by surprise and others found the same.
3. The RS-1 has a wider sound-stage, while the "RS-60" although the sound stage is a bit narrower it has more impact.
4. The RS-1 has an overall clearer, more detailed presentation.
The above differences were consistent regardless of whether I used a SS or tube amp. I have been listening to the "RS-60" quite a bit and will go out on a limb by stating that if you you just want to listen to music then this may be more appealing than the RS-1. This because the RS-1 IMO demand constant attention while the "RS-60" allow you to simply immerse yourself in the music and have a good time. If on the other hand you will be comparing gear the RS-1 would be my choice since it is more revealing, has better micro-dynamics, better decay, and it is clearer. Note: These are not night and day differences.
Thanks.

Linsys wireless router to setup a home network. Getting the network to see and configure the iPhones was a mess that took the better part of 1/2 an hour with the overall install taking 1 hour. Not as bad as I thought it would be and now I feel I am in the 21st Century.

Boston? I thought you were all going to the BeerFest in the Tampa area.

Small mouse for the EeePC netbook at Office Depot and ordered a ram module to change the 1 Gb to 2 Gb.

Good luck Dinny.

Nate, I need to learn more on how to use the Squeezebox 3. Too many people like yourself are enjoying it sound and ease of use, so I will read on the device and its benefits. Thanks.

Hope you enjoy the bottle Fitz, and once again thanks for all the hard work you did.
Pd: Georgia laws on liquor still suck 30 years later(left Atlanta in 1981 after graduating from college).

A couple of days ago I received an Eee PC 1005PE which is doing a fine job of feeding Apple Lossless files from iTunes to an external DAC via USB. Next I will up the RAM to 2 gB. So far very satisfied.

Fitz repaired two of my K1000, plus re-cabled one. Man what a great job he did on both. They sound and look great, thanks.

Met with two members of Head Fi gjkphd and vorlon1 and had a mini meet, lots of fun. Here are some pictures. The best part was playing with Monty, an almost 15 year old Havanese.

I believe Fitz finished fixing them and ... I am just so happy! Thanks.

Happy B-Day!

Thanks, I will wait until the Eee is in.

^^^Step #1. Increase RAM to 2Gb.
Any particular vendor I should attempt to obtain the additional 1Gb or RAM from? BTW, I am thinking of using Kaspersky anti-virus. Thanks.

Finally bought netbook, it is an EeePC, 10.1" 1 gig of ram and 250 gigs hd. It should arrive in a week or so.

Happy birthday!

Awesome work there Fitz! I can now see the paint overspray as well, I just can not believe someone would use this kind of headphone while painting. Utterly crazy, both the use while painting by a previous owner and the detailed "surgery repair" you have done.

You guys have a lot of patience and talent, nice going.
Post the last thing you bought!

I had to manually enter the 6 pairs of address into the Linksys software. Similar to what is done at: https://www.support.uidaho.edu/FAQ/Wireless/Find%20MAC%20address/iPhone.htm
