Zanth, thanks for a interesting interview, well worth the wait. Also a big thanks to John Grado, for answering many of the questions that we "headfi-ers' have on our minds.

Great job Zanth !! You've given us all insight to a unique genius, a man who has enhanced... dare I say, the lives of so many audio nuts.

Thanks so much Zanth and Mr. Grado!

Zanth, it was very gracious of you to take time out of your busy schedule to write that up for us. You're an excellent writer too, and it was a pleasure to read!

Absolutely excellent interview - both in its excution and write up (thanks Zanth) and in finding a manufacturer so forthcoming and benevolent (thanks Mr. Grado)!
