    Ok, thanks again for your advice LugBug. Anyway I have ordered a Supra Lorad shielded power cable, found one second hand in like new condition for a good price. Should be better than the stock cable regarding possible interference.  Plus the stock cable is plugged to a 2€-US-to-EU adaptor...

    Alright, thanks.   I tried swapping the tubes and the hum remains louder in the right ear. However I can ear it equally loud in the 2 drivers when the volume button is set to max. Quite weirdly, the hum almost disappears when I half-plug another headphone in the second jack. If I plug it...

    Alright, thanks for the replies guys !   Assuming I got a problem with one / several tube(s) should I stop using the amp until I replace it/them ?  It does not sound like a huge issue as the amp sounds awesome. Though I do not want to damage it as you can imagine !

    Hello people,   Received my MAD Ear + HD a few days ago and thought I could share some impressions... I must say it makes my RS1 and PS1000 sound incredible, way better than the RA1 (this was to be expected I know). Apologizes first, my English is not that good and I won't be able to...

    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    Hello people ! A quick update.   Grado accepted to send me a new headband.   To replace it, you just have to take off the little black encaps on the sliding rods and slide them into the new headband. And put some glue.   Thanks Grado :)   Waiting for my MAD Ear + now !   PS...

    Yeah, thanks for your replies guys !   Grado offered me help and I will be able to receive a new headband (the whole system in fact).   Not sure if it is easy to replace, anyone has already done that ?    Thanks again for your help and comments.

    PS1000 Impressions Thread

    Hello there,   As I already posted on the Grado fan club thread not going to re-write the entire post here.   Just saying that I recently became a huge PS1000 lover after having spent several years with a SR225 and a RS1.   I can't wait to receive a MAD Ear + amp to let it express...

    Yeah ! Thanks our martin !   I must admit this is not the first element that made me think about that combo, but it's definitely responsible of some % of my will to talk to Dr. Lloyd :)   I can't wait now. I will also have the opportunity to give you some comments about the MAD Ear +...

    It's a basic Naim CD5i ;)   It's very good and I must say I enjoy that little vinyl-like system to insert the CD ! Hehe.

    Hello people,   Just adding my voice to the Grado fan club...:)   The story began as a teenager, several years ago, with a SR225. They made me discover a whole new dimension of music.    I spent another few years with a RS1, such a lovely headphone that I still own, and recently...
