What people say about the Grado RA-1 headphone amp

"With a tube-like rendering of timbre and a sweet, relaxed sound, the Grado RA-1 makes extended headphone listening a joy. Although battery-driven, the RA-1 is more at home in your equipment rack or on your desk than out on the road. A beautiful wooden case finishes off this gem."

EARJOY YURI-TQ (Torquoise Blue) supersonic earphones — UNDIGITAL

YURI is the Japanese word for the flower Lily (Lilium), a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large prominent flowers. The Lily flower symbolizes purity and refined beauty. YURI ia around the Manga girl in the product package.

In seeking to offer sound realism, Earjoy™ sought to reproduce the natural sound of its original source – not as it is observed, documented, coded and then re-presented. We believe natural sound is the sound everyone should experience and enjoy.

Our counterparts advocate with their corporate zeal and coffers that the human ear can only hear from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This has resulted in corporate decisions for human kind to limit music reproduction to that range! This has resulted in the widespread production and adoption of devices for the digital ear. Digital sound is like an artifical plant or flower. No matter how you create it, brand it, re-name it, it is still fake!

At Earjoy™ we are UNDIGITAL. We produce for the human ear. Thus the rationale for the Supersonic Frequency Response (SSFR) of our earphones — the first of several undigital devices to follow.

Thus too our choice for wired over and above wireless and Bluetooth.

In search of a manufacturing partner, we decided on Japan over the many Asian choices. Our first criterion over any other is perfection or to be more elaborative — manufacturing excellence and craftsmanship. Our earphones are designed, manufactured and packaged in an artisanal, small factory deep inside a mountainside in Japan. The Earjoy team is all-Japanese with one exception—her founder is American.

Musicians and composers desire accurate recording and reproduction. They strive for complete reproduction of their art. Each earjoy earphone honors and plays the musician's artistic work in its purity. All else is artifice. All else is discarded.

Clearly, it is not cheap. It is exquisite in every facet of sonic and build quality, comfort and bundled accessories.

The SE846 alters your audio experience and your perception. Once embellished, it's hard to get back to the normal and ordinary.

Grado RS2E HEADPHONES

Quite handily one of the best headphones, it serves the musical source without exaggeration so you can listen as if you were with the artists recording in the studio. Because of this, if you are seeking bass thumpers or ear-splitting sound, or overabundant detail, the R2SE is not for you. It is well-balanced top to bottom purposely to accurately serve the artist's intent for the recording, not anyone else's remixing of it.

In case you want a remix version of the music, you can do this yourself through your own equalization - just play with the bass and treble controls, haha.

FYI, We read somewhere that replacing the RS2E's cushion with Grado's own G-cush turns it into an over-the-ear design and makes the sound slightly different (we won't say better because we defer that judgment for you to make): wider soundstage, sub-bass tauter, etc. Just like tube and stylus rolling, eh?
