    PS1000e/PS1000 owners: What AMP/DAC are you using?

    Beyer DT660 for studio use?

    I've got them recently and they're okay. But a little too bright for me and not reach enough. Maybe some more break in is needed but i suspect it's not the cause. Still the closed pair with the best soundstage i've ever heard, So i'll keep them. What about using them for studio monitoring and...

    Was the research process of the PS1000 really 50 years?!

    Grado claims so. I know you can't know for sure but is this possible in the headphone industry to research for 50 whole years? If it's true i would be really happy since i am getting them now :)
