A quick Hemp note for GFC (esp. @Shane D): I spent part of the afternoon with The Big Beat (Art Blakey + Jazz Messangers), Caliente (Gato Barbieri), Bluesnik (Jackie McLean) via the Hemp (TTVJ deluxe flats) and Violectric V200. A rollicking good time! Hemp with V200 is agile, bouncy, clear, dynamic, exciting, fun….AND TRUE TO THE MUSIC. If this pairing does not have you going, put in a website order for an 84” pine box …

I loved my GH2's with a MAD Ear+ HDII, LD MKIII and now my LD MK9. They have paired beautifully with all of them. I am guessing that most tube amps wouldn't be an ideal match due to the low impedance of Grado headphones. The above three were ideal for me and I am very curious to hear how my incoming Hemps like my newest LD.

I had a Maple Tree MADD Ear for a long while and I felt it did live up to it’s reputation of being a good match with most Grados. There really are quite a few that I have experimented with that also did/do well.

Looks nice!

For me, all the Grado woodies work beautifully with tube amps but the PS1000e pulls out more resolution from a SS. That being said, the MH200 does a pretty good job for all.

I get that you had that impression of the RS2e, but Grados are usually very sensitive to the source you're using. If you're not used to the highs, I think the Schiit stack is also going to be a bit bright

I would also recommend getting some aftermarket L Pads. They increase bass and have better control on the highs

TTVJ?

Sounds pretty good on sr80e:

Those look amazing! But how they do sound? I'm contemplating either these or the GS1000e for that warmer/more balanced sound within the Grado house sound. How would you rate the micro detail to the cheaper 325x? I'm a sucker for wood myself having come from ZMF (Camphor, Cocobolo, Mahogany, Silkwood, etc.)

I was thinking about trying out some Jackie McLean. I will look for that album.

Worth it!…I want to hear your response about Hemp with your Violectric….

First up, I am curious about the Little Dot MK9. The GH2's were very nice on it and that is where I will start. Using T60 Argon's on it today. Not bad at all.
I think Jackie McLean is right in my wheel house. As in, A) a horn player and B) Playing '55 to '65. I am really starting to fixate on horn work from this period.
