    A puzzle to figure out with adapters

    I have an HRT Music Streamer II+ feeding a Schiit Asgard that I plug some Grado 325is into. When I do this it is wonderfully balanced and smooth audio.   I also have the Grado adapter to turn it to a stereo jack. I tried to use this to extend the cord a bit, and used a 1/4 to 3.5 adapter to...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Wow! My plastic gimbals cracked. Grado is sending me replacements but I expect those to eventually meet the same fate. I'll have to save up a bit and get these sweeeeet metal gimbals.   Quote:

    Review by 'Dicetrain' on item 'Grado SR325is Headphones'

    When I first got these the sound was rather tinny, but over the initial 50 hours they really, really opened up and grew to have a very natural sound. I have them paired with an HRT MS2+ and a Schiit Asgard, which is apparently a good match for Grados. That sound became more warm and round when I...

    Is there a guide for safely opening my Grado SR325is?

    The cord in the right ear has become loose so that it can pull out and get stuffed back into the can by some measure. I need to open the can to set it back into whatever was locking it into position to prevent damage.

    "Model Number" on Grado service form...

    I'm sending in my SR325is to be fixed today, which is not a business day so they aren't available to ask. I figured someone here would know. On the return form it says "Model Number" so would that be "SR325is" or the number written inside the box? Also, I assume "Cartridge Number" is referring...

    Earpads for Grados...

    Got my comfies on. Good gracious, these are never leaving these headphones.   Edit: Quarter cut them for the best of both worlds. 100% perfect now.

    Earpads for Grados...

    It would appear that I had some incredibly lucky timing. TTVJ sent me a message when I ordered that they had been waiting on a new shipment for months but had one coming in 7-10 days, yet they came in and shipped out 2 days after that message. Score.

    Earpads for Grados...

    I pulled the headband cushion off my 555s (which are dead to me now) and stuck it right on to the 325s headband. It's a perfect fit and sticks well. It makes the weight disappear and the added extension for the height changes the angle of attack on my ears to not be so bad. Still, for long...

    Earpads for Grados...

    So I got some 325is and it seems I have it worse than some others. It's not that the earpad is uncomfortable, but I have small ears so the pad doesn't even touch them. It's just my ears right on that inside surface! Ow!   The GS-1000 cushions look like they extend more so they would keep the...

    6-10ft TSR extension cable?

    I need an extension cable for my Grado 325is but don't really feel like paying $40 for the Grado extension and getting 15 more feet of cable than I need. Where can I find something of similar quality but shorter?

    New Schiit Lyr: Hybrid 6W Headphone Amp. Yes. Six. Watts. RMS.

    Quote:   The question is how. I don't see a stick shift on the Lyr pictures, so I don't get how fine adjustment within such a small fraction of the power available translates into physical control. When you're talking about safely and easily moving around within only a 200mW range, does...

    New Schiit Lyr: Hybrid 6W Headphone Amp. Yes. Six. Watts. RMS.

    This amp intrigues and frightens me.   Say you have some Grados at typical 32ohms with max power handling of 200mW then this amp comes along with 6000mW. Does this mean if you happen to sneeze while carefully turning up the volume up from zero you will be out several hundred dollars and...

    M-Stage with OPA2627 SuperChip?

    I'm also now starting to wonder if a Schiit amp would compete well without the hassle. Hmmmm....

    M-Stage with OPA2627 SuperChip?

    In the Headphonia M-Stage review he mentions upgrading the M-Stage with two OPA627s using an adapter. Well they seem to be getting hard to find, and it may end up being a bit pricey and irritating to do, but this site has their own combined chip:   http://www.audiophileproducts.com/opamps...

    USB DAC amp for Grado SR325is that could also preamp Swan M200 MkIII speakers well?

    I keep looking around... would a Matrix Mini-i have enough juice for the Grados? I don't see the relevant specs to discern that listed anywhere.
