Grado/Alessandro Reconditioning
My MS1s seemed to have developed (or maybe they have had them forever, I don't know) a channel imbalance. The right channel seemed more faint than the left.

I have a problem with the amp im using as my headphone amp. Its (I think) an early 70s electro voice amplifier. Its small, and is usually used for speakers. I have found, however, that it sounds exceptional with headphones. For some reason, I just love listening to this thing instead of my...- JimmyDean
