Grados, like any other high-end headphone, DO benefit a lot from an amp. They sound good out of an iPhone but sound great out of a dedicated amp.
Yup. I totally dig em. I have a ton of ZMF pads as I own 3 ZMFs. I have a few of the large and small adapters. For the SR325… I’ve been digging the small adapter + the ZMF Beyerdynamic Lamb Perf pad.ZMF pads?
which ZMF pad are people liking on Grado 325is?
Who’s “making” someone waste their money…. ?The sadder part is people peddling BS because they don't understand the mechanics of a piece of hardware. Impedance is resistance, meaning it takes more power from the source to get the driver to move. That's why you're not running a 600ohm headphone off of an iPod. The sensitivity isn't a terribly useful measurement because of fluctuations in how it's gauged and even then Grados are marked around 100dB which is bang-on standard for even consumer headphones.
The fact that you listed "power delivery" separate from DAC and amp means you're either throwing around buzzwords haphazardly with no idea what they mean or you're actually suggesting that the literal electrical power source can somehow affect the sound which means you've gone so far down the snake oil rabbit hole there's no saving you.
Believe what you want, but don't make other people waste THEIR money on gear they literally will see no benefit from just because YOU love the placebo effect.
You’re right @LuckyleoHe did share kindly and nicely before being called out. His response after being called out seemed reasonable given the situation....

Why not try your 225x with a dedicated DAP? You might be even happier before your next GradoI absolutely love my 225x they have about 100 hours on them and I could not be happier. I'm so happy I think I need another pair of Grados. What is the next logical upgrade from the 225x? I would like to go as high as I can in the line without needing to add an DAP or amp. I primarily listen to Thrll Kill Kult and Pink Floyd from an Android tablet.

I use the F-pads for Hemp. The h/p/a that I use with Hemp run the gamut from the Vioelectric HPA V200 (solid-state) to Icon Audio HP8 MK-II (tube). .Grados freaking rock!!! I love the hemp design and a few of my buddies really dig them with different pads. What are you all running them off of? I have a feeling they’d be awesome on class A/B amps or even tubes.

Excpet what he wrote is not correct and I pointed this out. Without calling the person anything, or judging her/him. Which then he does. Oh well...He did share kindly and nicely before being called out. His response after being called out seemed reasonable given the situation....

Excellent choice that I am sure you will not regret. I had the opportunity to have a pair on loan for a few days and they really did impress. For me it is only a matter of time before I get my own.Just pulled the trigger on a GS3000X. i really hope it is good. Have owned several Grados over the years but have sold each one.. am hoping the 3kX is a keeper!
Congratulations! I bought mine on intro day. Serial # 008. I have zero regrets. Best headphone I own... Let us know your impressions!Just pulled the trigger on a GS3000X. i really hope it is good. Have owned several Grados over the years but have sold each one.. am hoping the 3kX is a keeper!
