PS-1000
Een hoofdtelefoon volgens een bijzonder principe. De Grado PS-1000 is een hybride ontwerp, waarvan het binnenste gedeelte van mahoniehout is. De zichtbare buitenkant is geheel van aluminium. Deze constructie zorgt er voor dat het bekende Grado-geluid behouden blijft, maar wel op een duidelijk hoger niveau speelt. Uiteraard zorgt de combinatie met een hoogwaardige hoofdtelefoonversterker ervoor dat het best mogelijke resultaat met de PS-1000 wordt behaald!
Informatie Grado website:
"Grado is proud to introduce the new flagship of their headphone line, the PS1000. This hybrid design has an inner sleeve of a selected species of hand-crafted mahogany made by using an intricate curing process.
Its outer housing of metal machined from a special non-resonant, very hard metal alloy utilizes a special processing and casting method to increase the porosity of the alloy. This combination of wood and metal insures that the earphone chamber has no "ringing" which might obscure detail or add coloration. The way the wood and metal housing moves air and reacts to sound vibrations is now virtually unaffected by transient distortions.
Grado has also designed a new cable for the PS1000. The new eight-conductor cable design, utilizing UHPLC (ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper, improves control and stability of the total range of the frequency spectrum.
The PS1000 also utilizes a newly re-configured voice coil and diaphragm design, resulting in unsurpassed speed and accuracy response. The cushion design creates the correct balance between the driver and hybrid housing to give the resulting musicality desired. The cushion design also makes the PS1000 one of the most comfortable to wear headphones in the world.
Grado has taken all their knowledge and years of experience in controlling resonances and eliminating distortions and this has culminated in the development of their finest headphone ever, the PS1000."
What people say...
"...the PS1000s are simply the best-sounding, most comfortable, and best-looking Grado headphones we've ever tested."
Cnet reviews / Steve Guttenberg
"For a sense of the instrumental separation that the PS1000s can deliver, go no farther than Rodrigo Y Gabriela's version of "Stairway to Heaven". As a bridge out of the slow intro gets going, there is a lot of fast chord work happening on acoustic guitars and you can hear every string clearly. The sound on this track was amazing enough that I had to play it twice."
AVguide / Tom Martin
"The Grado model PS-1000 is like a statistical anomaly that comes up once in a great while, like a great ballplayer that comes along once in a generation or two. The PS-1000 retrieves all the data sent it, with delicacy, or power (as the music demands), without smearing or masking. I think they are the Willie Mays, Derek Jeter or Peyton Manning of Grado headphones."
Positive Feedback Online / Max Dudious
"In any type of music, at any level, this is music reproduction of the highest order which convinces both instinctively and analytically. Hats off to Grado!"
Hi Fi Choice magazine / Richard Black
"Built to last and a masterpiece of engineering, they are the first conventional driver headphones to outperform Stax electrostats across the board. What an accomplishment!"
POSITIVE FEEDBACK / Robert H. Levi
"...we think the PS1000 is the best-looking and best-sounding headphone we've tested from the company. That also makes it one of the best pair of headphones we've ever heard."
Steve Guttenberg/CNET
"I've been listening to Grado headphones for over 15 years, and I have to say that the PS1000 is the greatest headphone they've ever made."
Mark Rivera, long time member of the Billy Joel Band & Musical Director for Ringo Star
"The PS1000's are finally, the first set of headphones that would motivate me to sell all the rest, because these PS1000s do it all and do it as flawlessly as I've yet experienced. The PS1000's are the very best Grado headphone ever made."
