Hemp detachable cable mod

That's real invasive. If you don't mind keeping the Y split, a less invasive method is to snip the cable a little below the Y split and just add a connector there.

A guy are selling a grado-ra1 for about 300 USD.
Is it worth it?

I've never heard this amp, but some googling shows that it's a very simple, glorified DIY project of an amp. Probably better options for $300.

I had one many years ago when it first came out. It was good at the time but not much compared to today’s amps. It would be more like a Grado collectible at this point and not a bad price.

But hemp is available local.

Open an account with Jet Carrier and they will give you an adress i Delaware. Shipping is cheap but you have to pay the tax. Much cheaper than bying Grado in europe i think.

I've been pretty much listening to the RS1e ( TTVJ deluxe flat pad) for around 10 hours today using Deezer Hi-Fi as the music client , also Progressive house has been the genre all day long .
Plugged straight into my laptop with a touch of eq from Maxx audio waves , this is sonic bliss.
I prefer the sound of all my Grados plugged into my laptop more than my Dragonfly Cobalt.
How deep the RS1e digs blows me away , so deep.

Edit ..... I've also gone back in time a few years on this thread during my 10 hour RS1e-athon , some very good reading indeed.

All Grado sounds best with a good amp.

I totally agree.

I totally agree.

Sometimes it’s almost like the 80’s again. All these youtubers are talking about amplification like: it has enough power so who needs more and maybe they add that it has low distorsion. That’s it. Just like when the first tranisitor amplifiers became available. There is waaay more to amplification…(and electronics in general).

Take this for example:



His first ecounter with a tube amp and he was way before an “influencer”. I don’t know if he ever lived together with a proper system. (Hearing it a friend/show does not count.)

As for Grado. They are probably the most transparent headphones. Almost just the driver. They show *everything*. Of course they can run from a phone because they are efficient. But they scale like there is no tomorrow.

Using my magni in low gain 9 O clock.
Sound so good. Using it for the sound not the power.

grado says:

Get a good headphone amp A standard laptop jacks is going to degrade the sound quality significantly. This is one area where spending a little extra is going to really pay off in the end, plus they'll make your headphones sound so much better the rest of the time too. Check out the Woo WA6 premium headphone amp, or the Schiit Magni as a budget option.

The hemps will be discontinued later this year? I found this on reddit. It seems like we don’t know the future of the hemps lol

Guess thats why they are called limited edt.

I can see both sides of this. The Hemps were limited edition, but at the same time it’s been a major HIT. So i wouldn’t hate them if they incorporated into their main line up somehow
