June 14, 201412 yr This thread is making me want to buy PS-1s again. But Oranges probably has the entire production run stockpiled by now.
June 14, 201412 yr 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.
June 14, 201412 yr This thread is making me want to buy PS-1s again. But Oranges probably has the entire production run stockpiled by now. no PS1. They elude me still.
June 14, 201412 yr I know I wouldn't sell mine for less than US$3K. I mean, it's not like they make them any more.
June 14, 201412 yr Well, there goes my hopes and dreams. Highest I would do is $2500, and that's on a day I'm feeling great.
June 14, 201412 yr 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.
June 14, 201412 yr 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
June 14, 201412 yr I have two of the three Ari-approved Grados, plus the PS-1s and I won't sell any of them. Sorry Oranges. ;-)
June 14, 201412 yr 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.
June 14, 201412 yr 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?
June 14, 201412 yr 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
June 14, 201412 yr 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).

June 15, 201412 yr *Excludes RS-1 (vintage) HP1000 and SR-60 (pink driver) These 3 you should keep. I'll send you my pink driver, black aluminum SR-325 some time. It sounds like you might be in love.
