  These are typical "brownstones" http://www.google.com/search?q=brownstone&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=s4ZeU-L0EdKK8AGlsoD4CA&ved=0CEsQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=604
 
I believe that they build their headphones and cartridges in a brownstone so it's not just a storefront, it's their factory.  In fact, I don't believe they acturally sell their stuff at this location.

Yes, those photos are "brownstones". But the building I went to (4614-7th Ave Brooklyn, N.Y.) was a store front…it was no "brownstone", that for sure!

When you say storefront, do you mean it's a Grado store?

More like a townhouse.
 
Here's a video most of us have seen.  I watched it again with pleasure.

  You think they would let me try out some of their headphones if I stopped by? I could see myself taking a day trip if I got to listen to every Grado there is.

I doubt it, When I first asked to stop by for the cushions the receptionist said no, them told me to hold on, and then got back on the phone and told me I could stop by. And after seeing this video, I realize John Grado also opened the door and let me in, but up until now I didn't know it was him, I thought it might have been, but I wasn't sure, and wasn't going to ask.

RE: Led Zeppelin.
 
Big Zep fan. I read Jimmy Page was set to remaster their entire discograhpy last year as big expensive box sets-for each album-maybe like the King Crimson Seven Wilson remasters which I'm too cheap to buy, but should...In fact if you go to the LZ website, it looks like the first three albums  as box sets are available for preorder. I'll be curious to hear if the infamous non audiophile sound has been improved. Ah well-the music can't be beat!
 
Celebration Day-the 2012 reuniion concert w/ Jason B on drums is killer...they rhearsed and really got it right. Jimmy Page's voice has held up suprisingly well.

  What was good about it? There are lots of bad things said about build quality, so I am a bit cautious - however, I would a cartridge with soul which makes instruments and voices sound like they sound, and not like plastic.

actually i should have prefaced my comment with " i don't have much experience with turntables, phone cartridges"  it worked and sounded nice, but that was mayne 15yrs ago or more
