 Great seat travel extension without the sibilance, natural sounding with beautiful harmonics and tonal inflections, moving vocals, great details, great dynamics and good bass performance. You rest easy in your seats, ears soothed, thoroughly enjoying the performance, feeling both the subtleties and power in equal abundance. Top marks for the grado black. Again as I elicited in my previous video for the excellent gold ring elan, I rate these two cards, the grado black and the gold ring elan, joints top because if you were to ask me to keep one and sell off the other four, I cannot make up my mind between the two of them

 And the grado black bass performance is much much better than the Audio Technica 100E, the Otophone OM-5E and the Sumiko Oyster. Double bass pluck, body resonance and decay are well portrayed, satisfying and clear. Synthesized bass beats are crisp, hard-hitting and dynamic. The grado black matches the Audio Technica 80100E for high frequency extension and detail but crucially without the sibilance

 I would like to keep both. To me, they are joints winners in group A, clearly and convincingly much better than the Audio Technica AT100E, the Otophone OM5E and the Sumiko Oyster. Thank you friends. The grado black and the gold ring elan have really shown that outstanding, gobsmackingly enjoyable and satisfying music performance can be had for only $70 to $80

 Hello friends, today we're going to make a black grado. First, bass. Bass is very good, being dynamic and punchy and it goes deep, very well done and losing only to the gold ring eland. To most of us earthlings, the grado black bass performance much more than suffice and it appeases most people's desire for a great bass reproduction

MM Cartridges US$70-80, Grado Black REVIEW

 Hello friends, today we're going to make a black grado.

 Bass is very good, being dynamic and punchy and it goes deep, very well done and losing

 To most of us earthlings, the grado black bass performance much more than suffice and

 it appeases most people's desire for a great bass reproduction.

 And the grado black bass performance is much much better than the Audio Technica 100E,

 the Otophone OM-5E and the Sumiko Oyster. Double bass pluck, body resonance and decay

 are well portrayed, satisfying and clear.

 Synthesized bass beats are crisp, hard-hitting and dynamic.

 The grado black matches the Audio Technica 80100E for high frequency extension and detail

 but crucially without the sibilance. This makes the grado black top of the heap for

 treble performance in this group A of 5 cartridges.

 This is again where the grado black comes up top in group A. Tonality and harmonics

 are excellent, we easily feel the singer's feelings through the detailed reproduction

 of tonal inflections, brass winds sound right, woodwinds beautiful, pianos beautiful.

 Midrange, again top of the heap in group A. The grado black's midrange is clear, weighty

 and detailed. No upper midrange brightness, the grado black's midrange is very well done

 Guitars zinc, truncheons plaques and those complex tones are all superbly reproduced.

 There's a tremendous sense of palpability of singers and instruments on the soundstage

 with their accompanying great ambience space portrayed around them. There's also good

 separation of different instruments on the soundstage even during complex passages.

 All of the above hints at the grado black's superb resolution of details.

 Great seat travel extension without the sibilance, natural sounding with beautiful harmonics

 and tonal inflections, moving vocals, great details, great dynamics and good bass performance.

 You rest easy in your seats, ears soothed, thoroughly enjoying the performance, feeling

 both the subtleties and power in equal abundance. Top marks for the grado black.

 Again as I elicited in my previous video for the excellent gold ring elan, I rate these

 two cards, the grado black and the gold ring elan, joints top because if you were to ask

 me to keep one and sell off the other four, I cannot make up my mind between the two of

 them. I would like to keep both. To me, they are joints winners in group A, clearly and

 convincingly much better than the Audio Technica AT100E, the Otophone OM5E and the Sumiko Oyster.

 Thank you friends. The grado black and the gold ring elan have really shown that outstanding,

 gobsmackingly enjoyable and satisfying music performance can be had for only $70 to $80.

 If you are already one happy vinyl fan using either of these two cards, congratulations

 to you. These two cards are great heroes in my opinion,

 bringing great vinyl music reproduction to the masses. Truly admirable efforts from these

Just dropping a comment for the cheapest part of the set up, the grado headphones. Best home listening sound imo.

“Upgrades are done. Now I can finally listen!”

 However, if you enjoy high frequencies as part of your listening experience, this might not be the right cart for you. Personally I've enjoyed hearing mid range instrumentation that I haven't noticed before which is why I wanted to experiment with this cart. I also installed on a turntable powered by a tube preamp. Since tubes aren't known for their bass response, I thought a cart that focused on mid and low range would help make up some lost ground

I bought this for $80, specifically to see how a budget cartridge would sound. If you've installed a new cartridge before, I found this one easy to install and align. I have NOT had any hum issues as reported in some of the older reviews.  The first thing I noticed was Grado's focus on the mid and low range frequencies

Lots of Midrange and Lows - Not So Much On The Highs

yotpo

My budget is around 700$. I looked up some turntables and chose 2 that were looking the best for this price - Rega Planar 2 and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO (with Ortofon 2M Red - I live in Europe). Rega Planar 2 seems to be better, since it has a glass platter and a better tonearm. The cartridge seems to be worse, tho

Hey guys, am looking for some recommendations for desktop speakers

  
There are tons of posts and questions for budget speakers but I'm looking at something more "mid"-fi  
Unfortunately the big speaker reviewers almost never touch on nearfield/desktop hifi  
I am open to both passives and actives  
My current set up for my desktop is: PC > Nuforce DDA-100 > EPOS M5s (hand me down from my dad)  
The M5s are great but they do lack quite a bit of low end, might be due to the nuforce being very neutral as well  
.  
My budget is pretty flexible and im kind of lurking around till november to hopefully catch a pair of KEFs at a good price  
But for simplicity's sake lets say my budget can stretch up to maybe USD 1500 but 1500 is a real stretch.  
While i have the available budget, I would still rather get something more "bang for buck" hence "mid-fi"  
.  
After much research I'm kind of at a loss, but i have a list of speakers that I should be able to audition here in Singapore  
These are in no order of preference at the moment  
  
1. Audioengine HD or A5 series  
2. Focal Shape 40  
USD 1265 NEW vs USD 1041 USED  
4.  Triangle BOREA BR03/BR02  
Used BR03 and NEW BR02 both around USD 380  
5. Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition  
USD 818 NEW  
6. KEF Q-150 or LS50 metas (with much savings)  
KEF Q150 NEW for USD 700  
LS50 meta NEW for USD 1635  
7. Adam A5x  
USD 818 Used  
8. Tannoy Gold 5 Powered  
USD 450  
9. Genelec 8010A  
2 months old for USD 730  
10. Amphion Argon 1   
USD 1636   
  
Am very open to other speakers that i may have missed out  
It is more for casual music listening with gaming on the side while i work at my desk  
  
Thanks in advance

I moved into a new place that has Bose ceiling speakers that seem to connect via an eight terminal jack in the wall. What equipment do I need to connect to the eight jacks (4 red and 4 black). I prefer to stream from my phone to whatever system I will have. I am not sure where to start or what I need.

Hi! Looking for a pair of speakers for a kitchen that will be good for house parties. We're in the UK and have a budget of around £400. We were recommended the Sonos One SL but I'm honestly a bit skeptical about smart speakers. 


We're just looking for something with good sound that we can stream music through using USB/Aux/Bluetooth. We are planning on placing the speakers in opposite corners of the room on top of high cabinets so that they're out of the way/sound can fill the room. Any suggestions welcome? Thank you!
