    GRADO RA1 (looking for some insight)

    Hey, guys. I just picked up a Grado RA1 for the heck of it, and it sounds pretty great with most of my Grado headphones. Although, I don't think it has very good synergy with my Alessandro MS1s... It sounds kinda' harsh at times. So anyway, I'm just curious why this headphone amp holds such high...

    Leak Stereo 50 price?

    I know this is primarily a headphone centered forum, but I recently acquired a vintage Leak Stereo 50 amplifier that looks like its in great shape externally/internally but I can't confirm if its working or not because I'm missing the power cord. How much do you think I can sell it for?

    PA2V2 No Gain Screws?

    Hi, I just purchased a used PA2V2 off of ebay and it doesn't have the two gain screws that's been mentioned here a lot. So I guess I have an older version of it. I was wondering if there's a major difference between my old version of the PA2V2 to the newer one and is it worth upgrading. I'm...

    Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2

    What amps are you guys using with your Magnums? I own a pico dac/amp, was wondering if that'll be good enough to drive these things. The pico sounds great with my 325is. I also own a little dot i+ which is the weaker part of my gear but it still sounds good for the price.

    Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2

    from previous posts, the people seem to think that the magnum v1 beats the rs1i in clarity and detail. However, the v2 hasn't been compared yet.

    Alright, so, V1 vs V2? Reviews for the V1 were great from the start and the V2 needed a bit of time for people to have anything positive to say, So which of the two is better?

    Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2

    Does he still offer V1 drivers? From what I've been reading, the V1 drivers paired with an APS cable seems like the way to go. People have even mentioned that the V1 can serve as a replacement to the RS1i which I think is very impressive. Is the V2 still worth the money? Or would a new cable for...

    grado L and R blocks losing friction?

    thanks for all the great responses, guys! How would you go about popping off the plastic tip on the end of the rods? I'm pretty sure it's glued down and i scuffed it a bit when I used pliers.

    grado L and R blocks losing friction?

    I've had my sr-325is for almost a year and the left block has noticeably less friction than the right. It even slides down a bit when lying idle on the desk for a few hours. Anyone else experience this? note: I did install a j money headband and the left side is where I removed the headband...
