It is THC! lick it off!So I’ve got a bone to pick with my Grado Hemp.
I’ve posted here many times how much I love the Hemp, in terms of both sound and aesthetics, but I’ve noticed that something seems to be going on with the wood. It’s becoming white, as though it’s drying out. Is this a problem inherent to the hemp wood? Because These are less than a year old, and take a look at this photo:
That shouldn’t be happening, right? Because I take immense care of these headphones. I’ve never even taken them outside, they’ve never been subjected to any weather conditions, and they simply sit on a hook attached the shelf in my office room. And I only bought them 8 or 9 months ago.
Given that I spent I believe $600 CAD on these, I’m extremely disappointed. My SR60 have held up for 20 years, but not even a year in and these far more expensive headphones already aren’t looking so great.

I also have a LD 1+ and was wondering which opamp to try. Did you prefer Classic over Vivid when listening to Grados?Got the Little Dot 1+ (6J1P-EV + Burson V6 Classic opamp) out this evening to pair with the Grados - what lovely grip, dynamics and warmth! Suits them both really well.

Oops! In my previous post I meant to say the V6 Vivid. I have both the Classic and the Vivid but prefer the Vivid for its wider soundstage and less forward midrange on the already forward Grado sound. YMMV as with all things.
