Anyone notice the typo on the Grado pizza box?

doing so would throw head-fi into a frenzy: somehow, fixing the typo would imply that the older typo version sounds different, and therefore sounds better, and therefore is worth more, despite the fact that only the packaging was modified by the order of two characters.

The positioning of the letters O and I is intentional; if it was spelled correctly it would throw the acoustic properties of the cans off-balance

Does it sound as good as a Boes?

We've finally understood why alessandro phones sound slightly different...they don't have the typo on the back...its lack really tames the highs and moves you a few seats back from the stage...like row 91 instead of 19

Mine didn't make a difference because they were tuned to Row 99, so it's too distant no matter what.

That special lettering means that the vice coil wires are crossed and therefore the phase is perverted.
