Frank, do you have vintage or classic Grado, or recent ?

Vanatoo active speakers. $600 tops. Great sound via Bluetooth even and just add a turntable if needed. https://vanatoo.com Slam dunk for top notch sound in a inexpensive compact package packed with good technology. |
inna ... I’m not sure what "vintage" RS-1s would be. I bought mine direct from John Grado at the CES in 1999. Also, I’m using an Ocos speaker cable to hook up the A2+ speakers together. The speakers sit on PPT mats and the PC is covered with the PPT Alpha E-Cards. A little PPT Total Contact is in use too. Also in use is Audioengine's little DAC. Overall, it is a very good sounding computer system. Here's some interesting history on the Grado company: https://gradolabs.com/company/timeline?skipto=heritage Frank |
Frank, you either have classic Grado or even earlier vintage, not sure. I have classic. Yes, interesting story. They may say whatever they want but Grado RS-1 have very engaging, emotional character, and do pace and rhythm just right. I tried Audeze and Sehnheiser, not top of line, somewhere in the middle - no thank you. |
