My current top choice for my Grados is a Schiit-wise Least-Is-Most microstack, IEMagni and Modi Multibit, with an outlet splitter for the wall warts and a SnakeOil MiniLink.

It's fed by the same RPi4/Digi+Pro/Volumio SPDIF as my other DACs, from an x4 distamp.

At a believable volume, the gear disappears and all I hear is music. For less coin than any of my tube amps, this little stack really is uncannily holographic.

Yes sir.

I hear you, a while ago at our UK office we had GS1000 for some time and it sounded exquisite with Pro iCAN.

they kinda do... It has one of their DAC desing, along a decent phono stage and a all tube head-amp with Xbass and tone control

...and our take on LS3/5a spakers on top of that

Indeed! And why not to celebrate this accordingly with a quality shot that fits this thread?

Keep rotating each earcup separately until the twists go

Thank you…yeah figured that out quickly after. Long day…

this is a nice stereo, same with the new Leak amp.
I never listen from speakers, only headphones.
so a headphone amp with same design would be very nice

that ifi retro stereo 50 amp does have a headphone amp which is the same full tube amp circuit just padded down with resistors.
to my ears, its a much better sound for my taste vs the ifi pro ican. I have the pro ican and retro streo 50

Listening to my new RS2e downstairs in my mancave.
My wife complains. Can hear my music upstairs

I feel your pain. Sound carries from downnstairs -- > up way too easily en mi casa. But if I'm upstairs and she"s downstairs its usually alright.

Is there a way to loosen up Grado cables so they don't feel so stiff and chunky?

Wow, 50K posts. I'm sure it has been asked before but:

Is there someone in the USA who can mod Grado 325 with a replaceable cable at a good price?

I just noticed one side of mine has pulled loose, though there's considerable strength remaining. Could send it back to Grado again, but would prefer a replaceable mod. PMs are fine too.

Time...but even then, it doesn't help much.
