Hopstretch Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 This thread is making me want to buy PS-1s again. But Oranges probably has the entire production run stockpiled by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 What is the going rate on PS1 anyway? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 No idea, I guess somewhere above 2K depending on shape and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I know I wouldn't sell mine for less than US$3K. I mean, it's not like they make them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well, there goes my hopes and dreams. Highest I would do is $2500, and that's on a day I'm feeling great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtonowhere08 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

roadtonowhere08 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I would trade my "improved" hp's for the ps1's - sounds fair enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I have two of the three Ari-approved Grados, plus the PS-1s and I won't sell any of them. Sorry Oranges. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Drummond Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
