Grado Customer Service (Bad)
@bcgood Well internet law says that the sale is in your jurisdiction, assuming you purchased them online. From everything you’ve explained, I’d be aggravated myself. Isn’t there a way to call them?  
Grado Customer Service (Bad)
I had a good experience regarding one of their cartridges. They honored a warranty that had expired six weeks prior. It did take some time for them to get back to me but that’s not out of the ordinary.  
I wish Ayre made a portable headphone amp

MBL Owners: The "Why" Behind Our Choices and the Search for the Ultimate "Wow" Factor
When I bought my ASR Emitter II Exclusive, it came with a magazine that featured MBL, T+A and ASR. Having familiarity with Industrial Design and aesthetics, I was impressed by what I saw but unfortunately, I’ve not yet had the opportunity to hear ...

I would consider a pre owned Bryson BDP Pi.   
Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection
I mostly collect CD’s and file downloads but also mono vinyl. Roughly 97% of my collection is classical/art music. Arkiv Produktion is a favorite of mine. They are a historical performance practice focused label and division of Deutsche Gramophone... 
Best Covers
The Bird and the Bee ‘A Tribute to Hall and Oats’. Never personally been a big fan of Hall and Oats but this is a worthwhile album.

@chrshanl37 I also noticed there’s a Cayin Ru7. Assuming it’s generally the same thing as the Ru6. I’m rather fascinated with the R2R design principle but not 100% on whether that’s what I would want for a daily driver.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Been listening to the Joseph Szigeti box set from the Andante Label. I’d make the assumption that no one else here has played these discs in a while. Great remastering techniques from the Andante team.    https://www.classicstoday.com/review/re...

@srinisr The iFi Hip DAC 3 looks like a good value but the volume knob is awkward unless I could lock it in place to avoid accidentally turning it up. @soix Yes, the Dragonfly is convenient but I was thinking that I could get an upgrade in sound ...

@panzrwagn Thanks for the input. The Topping would be a bit awkward for my needs. My primary goal is to find something that I can use at the gym. I know that may seem odd however, I spend a lot of time there and music is a motivator to make me get...

@akg_ca The thing I do like about the Audioquest is that it’s so small that it doesn’t interfere with my activities. I’ve even done my Muay Thai kicks on the bag while listening to it. Out of all the options, I believe the Chord would be my first ...
