Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw 

Jazz is sounding especially good on the Grados. 

I just got a pair of Grado 325’s Steve. Surprisingly good. Nothing close to speakers, but better than the Sennheiser they replaced. 

I’m just not a headphone guy, but, thinking way ahead when I could be forced out of my home for potential health reasons (yes, I’m seeing it in my 87 yo mother as you are). So, checking out whether the Grado sound may be acceptable for that use in an apartment, should it ever come to that. Purchased an inexpensive tube Bellari headphone amp, which is pretty good for the cost. Replaced the crappy stock tube with an EI Smooth plate 12AX7 tube, manufactured with Telefunken machinery. A nice tube actually compared to other I have, including my old Tele smooth plates.

better to burn out than it is to rust…… who sang that ?

My, my..hey…hey..

@sbank Hey Spencer. I was listening to "Hey What". Their latest but in the running for my favorite by them.

Hey Brian. The Grados are my first headphones. Always wanted a pair and happy to support the company. I felt like open back phones would be more like normal listening? and I can still hear what's going on in the house to some degree.

Brian, regarding The Beatles.......I can highly recommend the UK Blue Box if you can find one in good shape. I paid $300 for mine a couple years ago. It was unplayed. For that price, I think it's a good value.
