It was agreed those pics would never be posted. I swear no harm came to that dog.

My bad.

Same as my avatar:

Does anyone have even a ballpark guess what it would cost at a minimum to commission a build by Blackie?

But even then, why?

Dude, that is by no means complicated. I'm talking multiple variable-width, frequency-selectable ranges that only a computer could control, no set of knobs would be sufficient (that I'm aware of).

I mean, yeah, it's Grado's most comfortable headphone, but...just not worth the effort.

Digital parametric equalizers are nothing special... hell the DEQ2496 is only like $200 or so.

Thanks for the link, its a beauty and I assume its sounds sweet as well...

As for the prototype, I do not really care. If John wants to keep some improvements for a possible jubileum GS1k or something, well, we will see, I guess...

On the other hand I do understand the peopls disappointment after official release, however I had same expiriance with other brand to. The prototype was better dan the official released one, so, I send the official product back without giving any comment on head fi or anywhere else...

There have already been many discussions of this issue on Head-Fi, so check out the search function over there to try to find it. John G has been asked but I don't know what he says.

My guess would be $5K for starters, I've heard wildly varying quotes as to the cost of the duality amp. Blackie and the owner both have quoted different prices on that amp.

Yeah point taken, but I had to post it because it is after all a Cello, and Mark Levinson was my hero. I'm sure even Mark could not make the GS1000 sound like a flagship product.

I know nothing of Lain, or anime for that matter, but that is cool Fitz. It looks like there are way too many strings on her guitar however. Maybe its shadows.

The Exemplar 2900 arrived safe and sound. I just fired up and will give it some time for any real comparison but this is some nice redbook playback.

9 minutes, that's cold but well deserved.

Jp, why did you sell this thing? I remember how you and Vicki raved about it and never quite took you guys seriously but it is worthy of all the praise.

Rolleicord K3C (1954-1957) TLR. Strictly speaking, I didn't buy this, I traded the charger and batter for my old Canon PowerShot S60 for it. I have ...no idea how to use this thing, but I get the impression that the shutter is not working correctly. It' over 50 years old and maybe the TLR made a little TLC.

It's a combination of shadows and blur; it has six strings on it. The official product photos don't show any strings, so it was a surprise to have them at all.

Picked up a pair of these to try out.
