This is not the headphones you want for Christmas, but the best Christmas Holiday headphones.

^^^bump^^^

Happy Birthday to you!

What do you think the best headphones for the Christmas Holiday season are? I'd say the GS1000.

My new fountain pen broke this morning!

damn you DIY folk are crazy.

deepak, I just came into an amazing opportunity for an offshore investment, something to do with rare seashells found only in the Gulf of Mexico. What happens is we need two investors each to pitch in ~$350, and in two weeks a government subsidized fund kicks in and triples the investment. Easy money man, easy money! Basically what would work is if you just send me your HF-1, I have a friend locally who is willing to buy it for $400, so you get your $350 tripled + an extra $50. Let me know man!!!!

looks like i'll just have to con dpizzle or MD out of their HF-1s...

Yes, this is the case. I have received an inordinate amount of unsolicited offers for my Veda Audio Dynahi.

This is a great point Ryan. I had forgotten about this story, thanks for the reminder. To Ian (or whomever): Is it difficult to pry the drivers lose from the 325i shell? Basically what I'm getting at with this thread is, come hell or high water, I will have Grado drivers inside a deep ebony enclosure recabled to xlrs. Just trying to decide which Grado drivers to go with.

Nothing in there about 24K gold case though.

am I p-froggle? if so, that nickname is a bit of a reach.

You make some good points, Billy. But I'm not saying that housing doesn't make a huge difference in how a headphone sounds. I'm saying it is difficult for me to swallow that the drivers from the SR225 to the RS-1 are the exact same. As far as your button theory goes with regards to brightness levels in the 325i and MS2i: if that is the case, then the newer, buttonless RS-1 should be significantly less bright then their most recent (lighter wood) button'ed incarnations.

ehhh, its kind of hard for me to buy the "all the drivers are the same" theory. The difference between the SR225 and the RS-1 is nothing short of staggering in terms of tonality and soundstage.

Good point. Also, I think if I took the initiative to rip out the drivers that surely someone would be willing to make some custom enclosures for me.

Lots of folks put HF-1 drivers and 325i drivers into custom turned wood enclosures. Anyone ever do this with RS-1 drivers? Would be expensive, since essentially you would have to purchase an RS-1 just to cut the drivers out of the already-attractive wooden enclosure. But people have done stranger things in this hobby. Anyway, I'm just curious as to how RS-1 drivers would sound in a deeper wooden enclosure.

Kind of OT, but this is one of my favorite attributes of the RS-1, and it was the very first thing I noticed the first time I heard mine.

yes, but do your MP3s grow tax-free?

it was gone from your signature!!

hey did you sell your hp2 for the second time?

Well I've never heard the 007, but if it ain't broke...

Great read. I'd seen the thread title but never clicked on it, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
