OT - Grado SR60 Headphones
Russ Hanchin
recent purchase of headphones (Grado SR60's) that he claims have ...
changed his listening forever. I've pasted in some some excerpts. Has
anyone one heard of these -- or perhaps owns a set? Sounds too good to
be true.
Thanks,
Russ

for home (which really do sound better, but with all things audiophile,
diminishing returns as more money spent).
They make great phono cartridges as well (the Reference series), for those
dinosaurs out there that still listen to vinyl.
