This thread is making me want to buy PS-1s again. But Oranges probably has the entire production run stockpiled by now.

He actually doesn't have any PS-1s (as per Most Wanted).

 

I do, however.  I haven't listened to them in a while.  Every time I am tempted to put them up for sale, I listen to them and talk myself out of it.  Feel free to make me an offer anyway, I could be tempted.

 

I should go listen to them.  I could buy a Rhodes or something with the money, or down payment on a new car.

 

Back to the topic -- I had a pair of HP-2s that I was going to send in to him -- mostly because of a channel imbalance.  So there are perfectly legitimate reasons to want them refurbished.

 

But I lost them.

no PS1. They elude me still.

I have a pair of those PS-1. Not sure I'd sell them. Offers?

Audio Aero Prima DAC plus cash! 

Sorry, no more gear, please

What is the going rate on PS1 anyway? Just curious.

No idea, I guess somewhere above 2K depending on shape and all that.

I know I wouldn't sell mine for less than US$3K.  I mean, it's not like they make them any more.

Well, there goes my hopes and dreams. Highest I would do is $2500, and that's on a day I'm feeling great.

 

Screw you guys and all this talk about PS-1s.  I could sell all of my Grados and still come up short with the way they have been deified on the marketplace.  You people...

If you sold all of your Grado headphones* you would have no Grado headphones. I'd say that puts you ahead. 

 

*Excludes RS-1 (vintage) HP1000 and SR-60 (pink driver) These 3 you should keep. 

I do not own any of those three - not quite as bad as Mr. Oranges  I am fairly positive that if I ever heard the PS-1, I would probably still not be able to justify the cost and be happy with what I already have (but at least I would know what the fuss is about).  At $2,500 - $3k, I would not even be able to put them on my head

I would trade my "improved" hp's for the ps1's - sounds fair enough

I have two of the three Ari-approved Grados, plus the PS-1s and I won't sell any of them. Sorry Oranges. ;-)

I might sell any of them, after all I don't listen to them that much, but the PS-1 are special and I shouldn't sell them.

I'm quite curious. I've read some things about the PS-1, but most of it just about how rare they are. Where do they stand sound-wise compared to other Grados?

Didferent

That resumes it all

They sound like open Beyer DT770s

Shit. All this Joe Grado talk reminded me that I forgot to send an audition pair of HP2 to Zach! 

 

Dang it. Gotta get on that ASAP

They sound like open Beyer DT770s

Uh...no, they sound more like open Leatherheads, or like Grados...with bass...and without that bump in the presence (that makes female voices so euphonic).

 

Actually, now that I think about it, they kinda sound like my Special 25s (Dynaudio).

Nope, you're wrong because I'm right.

I'll send you my pink driver, black aluminum SR-325 some time. It sounds like you might be in love.
