The Grado RS-1 headphones are the Masterpiece in the superb and world-class collection of Grado headphones. It is a stellar product, brimming with elegance in finish and sound reproduction. Featuring handcrafted Mahongany earpieces made using an intricate curing process, Grado has been able to optimize the tonal quality. The Grado RS1 headphones use dynamic transducers in an open-air configuration, the cups being open-backed. The result is a smooth, coherent sound with detailed dynamics. Frequency response ranges from 12-30 kHz and the drivers are matched to 0.05dB. Weighing 9oz, the headphones are an example of the wonder of mother nature with a gorgeous, honey-colored look.

As testament of their stellar performance, the Grado RS-1 RS1 headphones are the only product ever nominated by Stereophile for their "Product of the Year" distinction, two years in a row!

JICO SAS replacement Shure N-95ED stylus
bradley oswald (Rahway, US)
Old records seem new again

Moving to the Jico n95 SAS/B from the original m95 elliptical stylus makes one want to listen to the emtire record collection again. Even with my full range open baffle setup I am now getting the high end sparkle that one expects. Pairs up perfectly with open baffle setup.

Improved the sound.

Thank you!

Hope I actually receive it…still waiting 😞

KYOCERA PL-601 Turntable Replacement Belt
Mary Hause (Bonney Lake, US)
Tada!

I shy away from electronics problems, and I've been avoiding a peek at wiring difficult to get to, to see if that was the reason my turntable hasn't worked for a couple years or more.
I finally took the pad off the platter abd removed tge platter to find the belt was disintegrated! Ordered a new one, put it on, abd tada! My turntable works!
Next up: a new stylus, perhaps.

Not as pictured.

Don't get me wrong, I think the item is great, it's just not what was pictured. I was expecting to see your logo on the head shell.

A new life!

It was great to find a new styli for my old Audio Technica AT3500 cartridge, at a reasonable price. It brought new life to my vintage system.

Don't buy the #15 dollar replacement

Don't buy the $15 replacement stylus on eBay, it sounds like shit, this one sounds amazing
