Re: oh dear .... oh dear .... oh dear

well everything i've read about them says they are terrific so hoping thay are really that good - never owned a pair of grados so fingers crossed i'll like the sound and once sold the other bits not quite such a massive outlay

Re: oh dear .... oh dear .... oh dear

they arrived - currently sat under my desk and can't do anything with them yet also prob good thing as still working off last night hangover! - got the phones which are pretty heavy, they come with a 15 feet headphone extension cable and an adaptor which will come in useful - surprised they only come in a cardboard box with nice cut foam inserts - apparantly the wooden presentation box is an optional extra at this price you thoughts it be standard!!!


Also got the Graham Slee Solo, PSU1 and the Graham Slee Cusat 50 Stereo Interconnect - not got any of it out yet as keeping headdown at work - as long as when i get it out its all mint as promised as is an ex display setup I think I got a great deal!


how they sound to follow..........
