| Grado Stylus Upgrade I knew Joe Grado personally.....his lab was in Westfield, New Jersey. You always knew when he was in the area when you saw his Lambo tooling around town. He sang with the Met.....a great friend. His state of the art reference system was an AR1... | |
| How do Walsh Ohm Speakers compare to Thiels? To make my speakers disappear, I put squares of carpet on the floor right in front of both speaks, getting rid of an unwanted floor reflection. | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade I would guess you wouldn't hear much of a difference.....when it's done, let me know. |
