@@paulallen7848 Agreed. That was un-civilized and un-provoked. Frankly it was a kind of commercial in a way and it was among the coolest ones I've seen. I think most of us could see ourselves working in a place like that. I don't see any degrees or other certificates of accomplishment on the walls. They don't need them. Either you like our shit or you don't. Turns out enough do that they can make a decent living at it. That's what it's about.

This is our lost American manufacturing small family style. Original building passed down through the generations 100% paid off and owned original equipment did not expand to large warehouse manufacturing with large overhead expenses marketing staff salesforce massive Office personnel staff. In this day and age this kind of business can never be restarted in the same method as the original. The price point for the product would be out of everybody’s grasp if some other new company tried. Always thought about purchasing a Grado, after seeing the handmade method in the original building with their original equipment makes me even more want to go purchase one to keep this business going in America.

Who knows if you can replicate a business like Grado today. The market and its way of doing things changed massively since the opening of this company, today it seems like your only options is to be part of a multinational magacorporation and move all production to China or just be a tech company that does not really invent anything but has a few apps as services. I hope that you still can, I hope Grado is not a remnant of a far gone era of family own business, but I'm a pessimist in that regard.

One day in my life I happened I had some money in my pocket. I went to my friend Silvio's store in Turin, Italy, near the historical RAI building. I put all my money in his hands and just told him to give me all the Grado I can buy. It wasn't a lot of money but I went home with a GS1000 and a Reference cartridge. It was the peak of my happiness. Some many years passed but I still have and love both. I love Grado family, I love the way they work and their being proud of their work. This virtual tour of "the house that John built" is pure joy. Thank you so much for sharing

What I love about the Grados in general is that they stick to their values. People love or hate the Grado sound but it remained virtually unchanged for decades. Of course their are differences to each headphone but the signature "recipe" is the same - alive, natural, engaging. Will always be a Grado fan, whatever they do. I wish them continued success and heritage. Great episode Steve! Can't wait for Part 2. 😊

I get what John Grado means about making a headphone for music rather than tests and sound effects. I'm very privileged to own the PS2000e and a Chord Mojo, which plays CD rips (WAV) from my iPad Pro. Currently I'm listening to an album of J.S. Bach organ pieces, played by Florence Mustric on the Beckerath tracker organ in Cleveland. The tonality is amazing from this purely acoustic instrument.

I have a couple of Grado cartridges and really like their sound. HOWEVER, like so many, I have had to put up with what many call "the Grado hum"! It didn't matter whether I had it on a belt drive or direct drive turntable, they'd hum! One day I picked up an SME head shell that was built a little bit different. It had a unique grounding system. I bought three of them (good price) and mounted two of my Grado cartridges on them. To my amazement, no more Grado hum! I could actually hear my records clean and clear. I don't know what the problem is with Grado cartridges but I'm glad I finally got them to play correctly for me.

Awesome sauce. I knownvery little about grado as a company, but now I feel better for knowing more. Im so glad they are doing things the way they are. It certainly shows in their products. I dont use headphones that often, but about 11 years ago i bought some grados. Initially i looked at them anc thought "these look cheaply made" but inwas absolutely wrong. Obviously the fact they press their own plastics deceived me. I love them to bits. Ive had many a headphone in the past where the cable gave out or a hinge piece or something on the headstrap fell off rendering them nigh on unsuable. Not so with these. They are built to last. But thaat wouldnt mean a lot if they didnt sound good. They sound amazing. Theyre the only headphones i find will play ANYTHJNG with space, pace and brilliant clarity. They dont in any way suffer from any harsh frquencies like others do. I cant recommend them enough. Never tried their cartridges, but i guess i may have to change that soon.

Grado's have to be the best referencing headphones ever! Yes it's open back, yes they bleed like crazy, but just beautiful things happen to music you "think" you know so well. Soundscapes are truly unique and so warm. If you want ANC, bass overload.... then there are many "celebrity" endorsements plying their badly made cans with branding . Grado's are in a league of their own. Each one is different and unique because it's made by hand and that's good! I love the mellow tour. Genuinely surprised at the scale of the production process. Again, if you want amazing reference headphones or your fed up with BASS with EXTRA BASS by (insert talentless name here) then you will love Grado's. Truly unique.

My 80es are on order, hope they're here by end of week. I've read a lot of "wow" comments, and I fully expect I'll be the next "wow" customer.

Sorry for the spelling error, I was dictating the note. Of course, I know that it's a Grado cartridge.
