    This is setup is for my dad who would be happy listening to the old mp3 CDs I made him a long time ago on the Grado Alessandro MS-1 I bought for him a while back. I recently discovered that a couple easy changes were holding back my personal audio setup from being great and and while my dad...

    Which Grado would you get?

    Short version: I have a chance to get a deal on some Grados. Within the Prestige line, which one should I get to compliment my Modhouse Argons? The Argon has a warm/dark sound with epic bass and the most immense soundstage you can get from a closed headphone. I want an open, more detailed...

    Grado HP-1000's. Great, but not with my amp.

    It's been awhile since my last post but I know that this is the place to ask... I have a very nice pair of Grado HP-1000 drivers in custom black walnut cups. I'm using an Accuphase C200 preamp to amplify them. Both of these pieces are excellent, but I wonder how well mated they are. I have to...

    I think I am going to buy a pair of Grado earphones

    However, I do not want to use an external big dac and amplifier. I can use a dragonfly black or red. Is that sufficient? I see that the OHM on Grado should be easy to run? I am considering RS2E. What do you think? I was first considering RS1E and GS1000, but I have read that they are a bit too...
