So I've been using the demo Solo Diamond Ultra Linear.The good news is that is sounds awesome as mentioned in the other thread the bass is definitely sharpened up and there's a general clarity to the whole deal.Its not that my Novo is bad its just that this unit is definitively better.
Now for the bad news I can't afford the new unit for a few weeks yet so I'm going to be without the unit for weeks!!LOLLOLLOL 

I would like to thank the guys that have organised the demo deal.ClapClapClapClap
A few days ago I asked the Grado UK guys via their website if they had PS1000 on demo so far not a word back I will call them today.Now I can get a plane ticket to New York and back and pick up a set of PS1000 for the UK price of £2000!!!!! so you'd think they'd have some sort of demo deal going on even if I have to go to a shop,although I guess not many have a demo pair! It shows what a great setup you guys have on here my money is definitely going into the Slee bank!!SmileSmileSmileSmile

I guess bad news is all relative isn't it. :)

I can't afford one of the buggers at all currently.. But isn't Hi-Fi all about planning and dreaming about the next upgrade? (that's what I keep telling myself)

Enjoy your Solo mate..

Brad, in the weeks ahead you'll be okay knowing that this is the one I've been waiting for.

I am also waiting for an ULDE at the current time. Graham's expertise is always worth investing in. It will be immensely fantastic.

By the way Bradders, you need not spend £2000 for a headphone. If you know what to look for, the same (or better) is found for much less. £200, in my opinion, is the price guideline for finding a headphone with considerable resolution and musicality. Just be careful that you don't get ripped off.

I have a ULDE and a pair of Grado PS1000 (well played in - which takes a long time) and I have to tell you that they are sensational. Everyone who has heard them agrees. IMHO this is one of the best combinations on the market.

I only paid aprox £1300 for my Grado's because they are B grade (supposedly a slight scratch, which I have yet to find, but otherwise fully guaranteed and perfect). The full price is not £2000 but £1790 in the UK if you look on the Internet. You can often get them cheaper as a demonstration model where the box has been opened (latest offer £1590). My dealer is also sometimes open to negotiations on price. PM me if you want to know where.

Go for the best you won't be disappointed!

Similar thing happened with my subwoofer which allegedly has a "imperfection in the finish" which I have not been able to find.

The cynic in me suspects that these deals are less about minor imperfections and more about the simple fact that different people are prepared to pay different amounts for the same thing!
