Glad to hear that the Grado is working out so well.
I'm in the same boat. My Dynavector Karat went bad, and I have had too much going on in my life to focus on getting a new one. My CD player has done very well to take up the slack, but I do miss vinyl.
I will have to look into Grado as I was interested in the Koetsu. The Dyna is great, but I like the warm midrange...
