Well, it seems like 30 years!
OK .... I've been trying to track down when the 1000 series was first introduced. It doesn't seem to appear anywhere on the Grado website, doesn't get a mention even in their timeline page. Which seems strange.
The first unambiguous date I've found is where a review dated 2009 of the 1000i mentions that they had reviewed the 1000 three years before. Which makes the GS1000 introduction 2006 (or before).
And they won the Absolute Sound product of the year award in 2007 - which also kind of implies a 2006 intro date.
Sadly and weirdly, Stereophile doesn't seem to have reviewed any of the 1000 series - they usually give a decent historical overview in their full reviews.
Hmm, well, colour me confused. It just seems like ages.
I could have sworn I heard a pair decades ago.
The old noggin ain't what it used to be.... it probably never was!
Y'all have to ignore me in future. What d'ya mean, you always have done?
