greetings,
I own both the Grado RS2e and the Grado Statement GS1000 models.
Both models sound excellent through the Cary CAD-300SEI Integrated
Amplifier.
I am currently using the exceptional Abyss AB-1266 headphones.
As to the tube compliment, I am using Western Electric 300B output
tubes, and the ken-rad 6F8G as voltage amplifier and driver tubes.
I purchased the Cary used for $1200 in 1999. It has served me
flawlessly for close to 20 years now.
Good luck in your search.
kind regards,
david
