I have and love using my gh2, and i use it currently on a schiit lyr and a garage 1217 project polaris. I think the gh2 does great on both, but i tend to like the polaris best for grados. It does nice things for the low end and you can manage the treble if need be by adjusting a pair of jumpers.

I used to have a deckard and i actually liked the lyr a little better for audeze.
The deckard was in general a terrible pairing for grados. Its just way too bright for them, which seems right if it was made for headphones that feature a gradual treble roll-off.

I dont think any of the schiit or garage1217 products would be disappointing with the gh2. Its a very versatile headphone.

Hi @RollinHard843 thanks for your message, did you tryed the valhalla, asgard or jotunheim with the Gh2?
thanks

I haven't heard those other amps, I'm afraid. I DID have a Vali 2 for almost 2 years and it was a very good match (plus I had a tube for it that I really enjoyed). Ultimately, I sold the Vali 2 just to see how upgrading to a Lyr would be. For what it's worth, between the 2 more budget friendly options I heard the GH2 with, I think the Project Polaris is the better amp. It stretches just a bit wider and deeper than the Vali 2 does (though that amp doesn't feel lacking on its own, this is just during side by side comparisons)

Anybody here have 'Like To Get To Know You' by Spanky & Our Gang?
I have it imported from a Cd into my library, but I also found it on Tidal tonight and the L/R channels were switched on the Tidal file.
If anyone has both files check it out. Very strange because now I don't know which way is correct? I like my file better, but probably because I'm use to hearing the song this way.

I had chance after long long time listen again quickly some Grados GS2000e, RS2e, SR60, GH2 (I had in past MS PRO, SR225, SR60 my first headphone). Mm and it was beautiful remembrance, I do not know all Grados sounds to me in many ways similar but it is so nice airy, windy, easy, pleasant. I think I will get some soon again. Thinking a lot about Alessandro MS1 with MS1000 mod (distancer plus big Grado pads) I like in past on MS PRO Ultiamte comfort and more spacious soundscape. I think MS1000 will be great across home with mobile etc..

Grado recommends the Schiit Lyr 2 (single ended) or Schiit Mjolner (balanced). That might carry over to an edge for the Vahalla2.

If you ever get a chance to try out the original PS1000, do so. You won't regret it, I promise you. BTW my wife and I were in Prague back in December 2013 around Christmas time. What a beautiful city. We both loved Prague very much.

I’ve got a chance to get an used pair at $500... Too bad it would be blind-buying because it’s in another country (my friend will pick up and they know as much as Jon Snow about audio)
