Hello everyone.

I would need some tube amp recomendations for grados

Grados in question: SR325x currently
Tonal balance: balanced/flat/neutral
Budget: Im thinking mid range so max 600$
(Would be nice for cheap wordwide shipping)

Any help is appreciated. :ksc75smile:

The Grado SR325x are only 38-Ohm.
You might look into hybrid (tube & solid state), which would have a low output impedance (Ohms)

Or an amp that offers low and high impedance for any hp for the future.

They say high output impedance and Grado is a OK combo

Something like the SparkoS Labs Gemini would work?
SparkoS Labs Gemini has a very low output impedance .25-Ohms, so yea, good damping control for 38-Ohm headphones :)
But spending $1000 for driving $300 headphones seems a little overkill.

The SparkoS Labs Gemini is fantastic for Grado (and other) headphones.

[Limited Edition: 1888 Double Barrel Reserva; Tube: M-O-V A2900] Glorious, involving sound !!
