I take my senior discount when I can, so I leave the scrappin', snatching and dashing to my gf who's in her prime.

Yes there is.I've heard an all-tube system where the sound was too thick (for my tastes), dynamics were a tad sluggish, not enough of the fast slam of Solid State. Not common, I admit.
Thanks for the tip.
Well, the setup I listed above is an all-tube system. Granted, they won't appeal to everyone and won't have the PrAT of a solid state amp, but the warmth and imagery makes it an extremely casual and pleasurable experience.
To each his own I suppose.

It looks like 4yourears has pulled all e series grados off of amazon. Is this in response to a higher than average rate of defects and returns?
Amazon is my first choice for buying a pair of grado's, but if they are not available, I wouldn't mind buying from another great vendor.

They sent me a pair of fake L-cushions last week. Something strange is going on. Try TTVJ instead.
Man, what is it with these models and all of the QC issues? Between Grado and HFM, I'm seriously reconsiderg a few things.
Schiit and Mr. Speakers seem to really have it together. What's up with my favorite brands though?

Thanks claritas. Hadn't considered TTVJ.
I will probably go with a very low risk route like crutchfield considering the (apparent? real?) QC issues.
Off topic, I was considering the xiaomi pistons IEM's, but there seem to be a lot of counterfeits out there. I'm just striking those off my list altogether.

Keep the old (i) models!

i'd like to try a new DAC. What are your recommendations for DACs under $300 that are not too clinical/neutral sounding?
Well I can tell you that I recently bought a Rega DAC from another Head-Fier, and its sound is too analog for me, not clinical in any way, so I switched back to my old faithful Meridian. PM me if you are interested.
I wouldn't hesitate, because the seller was specifically mentioned by a very knowledgeable reviewer.
I would hesitate for another reason: I really don't have confidence in anything that cheap when it comes to audio. There's no such thing as free lunch.
