  I'm selling my WA6 (no wood) with 6SN7 tube adapters/Grado SR-325is's as a combo.
If anyone is interested in this combo, PM me before I put them up on the F/S forum/eBay, and I will give you the full details.
These are all in "excellent working/cosmetic condition."


wow......what amp are you going to get, Joseph
 
nevermind......I found it

Just seems strange that the WA6 is not enough amp..........Grados usually sound great at low volume....and getting more volume should not at all, be an issue........anyway......I hope it all works itself out.

If any of you guys want to join the planar world, I'd highly recommend the HE-4. I'm selling my Grado's and keeping only the HiFiMAN at home, it's a great all-rounder (also excellent for rock).

I will be joining the world of planars sometime later this year....will be keeping my RS1i though.

Grados and planers can coexist

I've been looking for a yamaha YH-100 on the side. I doubt i'll ever get rid of my Grado's.

The WA6 sound beautiful with the PS1K's, but maybe due to the (G) cushions moving the drivers further away from my ears also has something to do with having to turn the volume knob at 1-2 o'clock, and they still sound like their asking for more too get to that optimum out put where they sound perfect…but anymore volume after that is going to clip/distort the sound.
With all my other Grados 10-11 o'clock the sound is optimum (depending on the recording of course). I know they are all low impedance headphones, and all drive easily, but it doesn't seem to be for the PS1K's for some reason, possibly the different driver/driver distance from the ears, I don't know.

Ortho guy here in agreement. Depending on the model, they can actually be pretty good companions, in that they can be a totally different sound from Grado (LCD-2.1) or something somewhat different but better (HE-6). YMMV.

The noise, may just be a tube.


It wasn't just a tube. I have tried two other pairs of tubes. Same hum. Also, something bizarre had happened to one of my preferred pairs of tubes, but I am going to report that in the Schiit Lyr tube-rolling thread.
