Well, they sure LOOK like they mean business.
Sorry that you didn't get a chance to hear the GF-1's.Hi All!
I'm really sorry to have left everyone hanging. It wasn't intentional at all.
After dreaming about the GF-1 for several years (I'm a very happy multi-year owner of one pair each of NS-1000X, NS-1000XW, and beloved NS-2000), I was finally almost within arm's reach of one of possibly the last two known pairs of GF-1. What happened didn't make me very happy. On my way to Nagoya, I was called-in for an "urgent matter" at work, and had to turn around upon arrival. On return to my hometown, what was claimed to be so "urgent" turned out not to be at all. I've since spent the past few days sorting that out, which is why I haven't been back in here till now.
In any event, it would not have been possible for me to buy the GF-1 this time for several reasons, one of which is that there was already a substantial list of people on "hold" for it within hours of the posting - the first few were within minutes, whereas I didn't see it on the site until the next day.
I did manage to get some detailed info about the unit directly from the shop, but feel posting any of that should probably better wait until the unit has been sold. Nothing negative at all, just some interesting history.
My next chance to try to hear (and feel, maybe even lick...:O ) them will be Sunday if they haven't been packed for shipping by then.
I'll let you all know whatever happens.
I revisit that thread occasionally. I'd like to see a picture of our fellow AK'ers GF-1's with a PC display showing that thread in the picture.Remember this thread anyone?

Maybe unique because of the posting by an owner of the GF1.
Boy those sure are purdy - I'd be afraid to use them!
