From their website: Grado is famous for their remarkable headphone and phono cartridge designs and hold over 48 patents. Company founder, Joseph Grado is credited as the inventor of the stereo moving coil phono cartridge. He is responsible for more innovations in phono cartridge design than any other person in our lifetime and was inducted into the Audio Hall of Fame in 1982.
Time honored manufacturing know how and painstaking attention to design detail allows previously unobtained levels of pitch control, harmonic accuracy and bass quality to be achieved. All Grado headphones and cartridges are hand made to Grado's full performance specifications... nothing leaves the factory unless it sounds pure Grado.
Grado headphones can reproduce as natural a soundstage from stereo recordings and provide as much listening pleasure as a good pair of speakers do. Grado headphones are free of room effects and placement problems, and they minimize any interference from external noise.
They also offer portability and the ability to listen without worrying about the neighbors. With Grado headphones, you will hear recordings with greater clarity and with deeper bass than others!
Grado headphones are the antithesis of mass production, as each Grado headphone is hand-assembled and closely scrutinized to meet full performance specifications in the U.S.A.
The first pair of headphones that I purchased as a consumer were Grado SR60’s. That was 15 years ago and I purchased them because the sound quality for the money couldn’t be approached by any other headphones I listened to. I believe this is still true today. Now our clients come in and purchase SR60i headphones and the value and sound quality is just as good, if not better, as the original SR60’s. All of Grado’s products are a great value and provide a true high-fidelity experience. We stock their headphones and complete line of Turntable Cartridges.
