Looking for tips: selling LP collection (audiophile, import pressings, Absolute Sound rarities, etc).
Hi folks. I am looking for tips for selling an LP collection that I just haven't uncorked in about 20 years. All sorts of interesting stuff in there. Examples: Audiophile pressings from Mobile Fidelity (In think an UHQR of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon); import pressings (The Wall...- pjr300

JUst reunited with my Grado HP-2 that I sold a decade ago!
Yep, today a friend gave me back my Grado HP-2 phones. I traded it to him over 10 years ago for a PS Audio pre-amp. In fact, I didn't even remember selling the Grados to him until last summer, when I mentioned that I was looking for a pair. He decided to give them to me because he rarely used...- pjr300

Grado: Can anyone compare the HF-1 to the HP-2?
I am wondering if anyone here has compared the Grado HF-1 to the HP-2. I currently have the HF-1 with my SinglePower PPX, but have not heard the HP-2 in years (and, when I did, it was on the Melos SHA-1). I have a chance to get the HP-2 setup and wondering if the performance benefit is...- pjr300

SinglePower PPX3 Tube Questions
I'm a happy owner of a SinglePower PPX3. Great amp with my Grado HF-1 cans. I think it's a big cut above in sound, part quality, build quality, circuit design, and reliability over the budget tube amps that are usually sourced from China. Over the past few months, I found myself listening...- pjr300

Looking for low cost preamp with a headphone jack
Hi folks.... I'm looking for a used preamp that has a headphone jack. Does anyone have suggestions? It's going to be for a 2 channel video system.... not much audio, just DVD playback. The HP jack will drive Grado 60 'phones for late night video watching. A Melos is overkill (heat-wise and...- pjr300

Review: Little Dot II (with a dose of Grado and a bit of Bada)
There have been plenty of questions about the Little Dot II here on the forum, but very few comments and not a review in sight. A few weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet and try out one of these newcomers to the audio headwear world. I purchased the unit to serve as a backup amp, but my plans...- pjr300

I love John Grado
What a guy! He creates a headphone for his niche fanatic users at $200 that not only blows away everything else is his prestiege line (even the stuff priced at over $300), it gets constant comparison to the Signature line RS-2 phones at $500. No the HF-1 isn't better than the RS-2, but it's...- pjr300

Little Dot II: quality problems
Interesting thread at the ipod studio site.... they did a LD II group buy and the result was huge problems. Some folks are on their 2nd defective unit. NOW the price increase from $110 to $237 makes sense... recouping losses. Hmmmmm...... http://ipastudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1862- pjr300

Amplification for Grados: What's the next level?
Hi folks.... what's the logical move up from an entry level amp for driving Grados? I guess I'd call entry level an op-amp type design (like the Grado RA-1, cmoy, and so on). What's the next level up in performance? I like tubes... but it seems like a lot of the tubs amps in the $500 range...- pjr300

Back into Hi-End Hi Fi & phones
First, I just discovered this site and have been reading like mad for 2 days... what a great forum! This is my first post. I'm an ex-audiophile looking to get back into some gear. About 3 years ago I sold my Martin Logan and associated gear because listening time as a parent was limited...- pjr300
