Go in-house. Being the client is MOAR FUN!

^we could make them say "Head-Case"

The shortness of the cable is very odd.

Getting the O2 mk1 pads properly oriented is a big pain in the ass.

That's a little shelf of awesome right there.

So I've been listening more to the HF2, and I like it even MOAR tonight. This is the first pair of Grados that I can tolerate for more than an hour at a time. Just a very musically satisfying sound. And I also have to add how pleased I am about how the HF2 pairs with the GLite. I've always thought of the GLite as being a touch on the bright side. But it really does a nice job with the HF2. And I also recall hearing the GLite with the AD2000 at an NYC Meet a couple of years ago; it was great, too. Conversely, I heard the AD2000 out of a rig at the last NYC Meet that made my ears hurt because it was so bright. Weird.

Hmm...Is there an easy way to see if it's shaking hands w/the iPod? (Is that the right 'puter lingo?)

I think the post by "Art" after the review is a pretty good critique of Martin's piece: I didn't have as negative a reaction, but I'd be interested in how Tom Martin feels about the 800 after a year with them.

I would prefer just "Grado" and "HF2"

Jesus, that's bad weather. Family all ok and accounted for, 'stretch?

That pic is full of laff.

I have been Grado-less for a while, so it's fun to have a pair again. And it's nice to know that I won't be looking for another Grado for a good long time. I also like how easy it is to change the pads, especially after dealing with my Staxen and AT woodies. That said, the earpad foam material still sucks.

To take it a step further, I'm wondering if it is possible that the "Lot of 26" has the same error, except that the "1" in the Lot of 26 looks like a capital "I". Is it confirmed that engravers were changed?

Can someone explain to me how this engraving process works? Does one choose a font, template, etc.? For example, would the manufacturer (i.e., Grado) typically hand the engraver a piece of paper and say I want thesem words engraved on the cups in such and such font?

Yeah, thick and more...er...poofy? I also noticed two notches in each cable coming out of the Y-split. Has anyone else noticed these?

Nate, the rack looks awesome; I like the stain. The cables are cool and stealthy. That little something on the middle shelf looks interesting, too.

MOAR LAWYERS!

If there are 500 Head-F1s and 26 Head-Fis, isn't it really the latter version that has the "typo"?

I'm embarrassed to say.

Another DAC.

Baby Elephant, where did you get those bags for your various (beautiful) headphones?

I think it's interesting that the graphs say, "HD800 silver." Is there a special green one coming soon?

Heh, what an ironic twist.

Oops screwed up.
