Grado
just announced their new headphones model RS-2. These are very much like their reference
RS-1 yet at priced a savings of hundreds of dollars. Specifically, priced at $495 the RS-2
are claimed to be about 90% of the RS-1's yet uses a slightly smaller housing and the
heavy duty tweaking used for the RS-1's aren't all included for the RS-2 (yet the RS-2 are
still very high quality). Also to save us consumers money the RS-2's aren't sold with a
fancy-schmancy box. Just a good quality regular box. Personally, i've never heard the
quality of a box, just the goodies it holds :-{)+ . |

Electric is giving us a small little preempting of the 212E tube. They expect to
have full production going within about 6-9 months. In the meantime they had this really
cool display which shows the building stages of their 300B tube. Also in their room was a
killer video of a tube being produced in their facility. Lastly, they are planning on
updating their www site monthly with some tasty newsletters. Oh, by the way, i have two
matched pair of the WE300B tubes at home. They are absolutely wonderful!!! |
