jinp6301 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I say ban anyone with less than 5000 posts that tries to sell them for a profit FIFY I'm sure some people wont like the sound of the headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I don't care, a ban to anyone with less than 5k posts who sells them gotta inflate mine more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I will give mine away, but I have to go through some special procedures and shipping/handling will be $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Why, what do you care what other people do? And as Sherlock pointed out, they provide a service to those who haven't "gotten while the gettin's good". I think it's well within my right to think that buying a community offering for the sole purpose of immediately flipping it for profit is weak. I should have included the for profit part in my original post, if resold at purchase price (even adding additional shipping) would sit fine with me. But I suspect that we're less than a few weeks away from $800 HF2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purk Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ordered mine with Todd on the phone just in time two days ago. Will be two months wait according to him. I'm in no rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSlacker Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 What about all the other rare, discontinued products that people overpay for nowadays because they can't get them new? Should we ban all of them as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recstar24 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Listening to PS-1's now -- yeah, they come from the same family, alright. As in the John Grado family? Or the John Grado family of custom headphones that sound good with bowls that don't drill your ears with piercing treble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 As in the John Grado family? Or the John Grado family of custom headphones that sound good with bowls that don't drill your ears with piercing treble? I'd say the second. Funnily enough a couple of friends came to my place two days ago and we were comparing the PS1 to the HF2, using the B22 and the Gilmore Reference. The HF2 with bowls on the Gilmore sounded with way less bass and impact than the PS1. Not bad, but not great either. Then using flats both came much similar. OTOH when moved on to the B22, the HF2 with flats to my ears became plainly unlistenable. Too much bass for my taste, and what's worse, muddy and tending to distorting. Moving to bowls, things fell into place and the things sounded damn good again, not PS1, they just lack the last bit of resolution, midrange warmth and treble delicacy, but to my ears, much more enjoyable than any other John Grado I've tried before. They even can sound a bit more open, I mean for stage width, than the PS1. Both are rather flat sounding though, at least compared to HD800, O2 and R10.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah, I'm ...er... not the biggest John Grado fan, so I definitely meant the "sub-family". And just for shits and giggles, I'm listening with HD414 pads now. Without the quarter mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parhelictriangle Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just called Todd the Magnanimous and told him to hold my HF2s until the first week of August, since I'll be at the Biodome in Montreal when mine would have been delivered next week. Two by two, balls of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered the same day, first thing in the morning. Todd said mine were set to go out on what would have been yesterday, so yours should definitely be in the next batch if they didn't ship out yet. Todd did say there was a snag with some of his shipping last week (I didn't press for clarification since he seemed a bit less chipper than normal) so maybe the stuff that was supposed to go out yesterday was pushed to next week. Or maybe I misheard what he was saying; he was a bit frazzled-sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
