Thinking about buying new Grado Headphones
SOIX. OBERONIAOMNIA   Have done on-line purchases for $$$$.  As long as it’s a reputable seller. And I still deal with two vendors in DC area who will ship product. I will look at HIMAN and others in my price range.  You’ve convinced me.  And of c...

Winoguy17 yup Mine are worse than that, but that’s it!  And I think as your picture shows, the clear sheathing may be pulled over the copper conductor which allow air infiltration and oxidation to take place.  But when I set up my system in our ne...

61falcon. I lived in northern VA. Summer humidity could get high, but home was air conditioned, so I doubt high humidity had anything to do with it.   Felixa I will put them back into my system and give a listen.  AND I have a pair of Kimber Kabl...
