Torpedo

LOL I don't know how old RS-1 sound, all I've listened were of the black headband type with buttons and serial number. For your description of the vintage models, I think they could sound closer to the HP-2 than the RS-1 I know, which btw, aren't my cup of tea. Maybe fun with some music for a while, but rather unlistenable for any acoustic music, specially if horns are involved. Rgrds

Could it be possible that the old RS-1 used the same Joe Grado's family of drivers as used in the HP-1000? Rgrds

Glad to be here. For Grawk's post looks like you're the main recruitment officer hehe I hope we have some fun and interesting discussions. Rgrds

Yep, flats and bowls have their role on the PS-1, but I like better the bowls. I find tonality more accurate and bass a bit less prominent with the bowls. Also the stage for my ears is a bit wider than with flats. However metal and any hard rock sounds so much "you're there and we're shaking your guts" that I can understand metal fans prefer them.

LOL I'm afraid I never was, but Torpedo was already taken at HF and I made a silly decission Rgrds

Oh yes, I'm sorry HF is quite boring sometimes

Hi mates, just registered here. Answering the question, it was boomana who told me about Head-Case. Rgrds
