I recently got the Graham Slee Voyager portable headphone amp and can highly recommend but....some intermittent interferance with iPhone GSM (most of my portable listening on plane travel so interferance not big issue for me) Voyager same size as iPhone but twice as thick.

Wavod, did your headband arrive yet?

My egg shaped head probably doesn't help!? ;)

Welcome to the forum Enjoy the system building!

eggsontoast Just tried my SR80s vs my MS-1s with Turbulent padded leather headband and no amount of bending/shaping of original Grado headband is comparible to the new headband comfort/fit (would have saved me a few £s).

Hi relocated, I assume if you have the Grado SR80i that you have the S cushion pads which are now standard? I guess every head/ear shape differs hence different comfort experience (I really struggled with S cushions). The L cushions came as standard on my SR80 a few years ago, unsure why they...

Ok, so you can talk from direct experience of Grado. The more I think about it the harder it is to justify the price hike for the UK, perhaps we are subsidising the US price? I have never auditioned any Goldring headphones (but will do for a comarison).

Willie, I agree the Alessandros do seem good value vs standard Grados. From my own experience over a number of years and many hours of listening I must disagree regarding lack of Grado build quality, (although you are not the first person I have seen raise concerns over build). They do look...

Thanks for replies Cant think of many products that are cheaper in the UK regardless of origin. Is your issue with rip-off UK prices or Grado in particular? Even at UK prices they got great reviews by WHF, they would have run out of gold stars at US prices. Auditioned the B&W P5 but...

I have noticed a few pre-owned bargains on the bay I used to ave the Denon TU-260 but rarely used it. eBay is also a good method to sell unwanted kit and have often recovered 100% of original price (once sold a unwanted passive Mission sub for £50 more tha original purchase price paid 10 years...

Blimey, my wife is more interested than you lot! :roll: Magnum Dynalab ST-2 installed internally (temporarily) in my lounge, I have installed horizontally to the side of wooden beam (out of sight) close to window. Signal strength increased to 40 dBμV (nigh on doubled) so have high...

Tumbleweed... Taken plunge an ordered the Magnum ST-2 from Audiofreaks and expect delivery Thursday/Friday. Will let you know results if anyone interested Regards

I recently upgraded my Grado SR80 headphones to Alessandro Grado MS-1 (after a slight accident) and whilst I enjoy the sound from both SR80 and MS-1 find that after an hour of listening the top of my head and my ears become uncomfortable. After surfing Grado results across the net (mainly in...
