Just ordered an HF-1 and found out they don’t come with a mini adapter. I know Grado makes some cheap but I’m sure there’s better out there. How are the ones at CablePro or Moon-Audio? Can anyone make recommendations of the best 1/4” to 1/8” adapter that offers the best quality signal? Thanks.

I think the regular Grado adapter would be the most economical choice. The adapter uses the same cable as the HF-1 so it should do the job just fine. I don't think it would be wise to spend so much on an adapter when you are going to plug it into the stock cable. I doubt you would hear any difference using a high priced adapter in this configuration.

Try to add the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter to your order before Todd ships your HF-1. You will save on shipping.

Another option if you are handy with the soldering iron would be to reterminate your HF-1 with a quality mini plug.

I have the Grado adaptor, and it is of fine quality. (available at Headroom)
way better than RS, at a similar price

Do not spend a fortune on a "best quality signal" connector. I would recommend the Grado, because it does not put as much stress on the mini connector.

Before I got my amp, I just went to radio shack and bought a $3 adapter.

Is the Grado adapter better than the cheaper Senn Adapter? They LOOK the same to me (I only own the Senn adapter through).
