RA1


 
After years of relying on other equipment to drive Grado headphones, you can now listen and enjoy headphones through our new Grado Reference Headphone Amp, the RA1. Designed for state-of-the-art performance and specifically to play Grados, the new RA1 will allow you to hear your headphones like never before. This new amp is machined from a solid block of mahogany and measures 5" wide, 5 1/2" deep and 1 1/2" tall and weighs in at 12 oz. The RA1 is available in an AC version or can be powered by two 9-Volt batteries that will drive the amp for 40 to 50 hours of listening pleasure. And the sound? Just like all Grados: warm, smooth, full-bodied, non-fatiguing and rich. Hook it up to any line source (portable or in-home) and drive your Grado headphones to their full potential.



Now Available the RA1-HG (High Gain). Now headphone enthusiasts can utilize the RA1's sonic qualities with a wide selection of headphones. The RA1-HG is designed to drive headphones with impedances of 100 ohms or more.

"With a tube-like rendering of timbre and a sweet, relaxed sound, the Grado RA-1 makes extended headphone listening a joy. Although battery-driven, the RA-1 is more at home in your equipment rack or on your desk than out on the road. A beautiful wooden case finishes off this gem."
- Reviewed By Robert Harley / Absolute Sound
"The RA1 offers excellent value for money, and does a fine job powering phones from Sennheiser, Shure and Ultimate Ears. It does especially well with Grado ‘phones and does not embarrass itself next to state of the art components."
- Phil Gold / Inner Ear Magazine
"When paired with the high-quality RS1 headphones, the RA1 delivers music that is clearer and more life-like than most speakers."
- Jason Alexander, Satellite Direct
"With the Grado Reference RA1 handling the amplification, music was rendered truer, clearer, and more life-like than I had ever imagined was possible."
- Willie Gluckstern, Audio Magazine
"This is such a nice job of product engineering by John Grado, I think it earns a nomination for "Dudely Product of the Year Award.""
- Charles (His Dudeliness) Hollander, Positive Feedback
"Listening to my RS1's through the Grado RA1 headphone amp is like listening to a live performance, it puts you right there."
- Mark Rivera, Saxophonist with the Billy Joel Band

Variations Between Grado Headphone Models

 

From the entry level iGrado to the Top-of-the-Line GS1000 the entire Grado headphone line is worthy of being called true audiophile sound quality.  There is a consistency of sound throughout the line from top down.

The following list will provide a simple comparison to step you through the top features that separate the different models.

 

iGrado Series

iGrado: Grado’s version of a portable knock-around headphone. Perfect for use with all portable devices. The headphone housing is designed by Grado but manufactured in China. Grado sends their SR60 drivers to China and has the headphones assembled there thus enabling a economically produced headphone unrivaled at its price.

Sound: good bass, good resolution and smooth sound.

  Prestige Series

SR60: This headphone has gained “LEGENDARY” status. The SR60 has received rave reviews from around the world and is the most commonly recommended headphone on the market today. The SR60 was the Stereophile’s “PRODUCT OF THE YEAR” in two categories, “The Accessory of Year” and the more prestigious “Budget Component of Year”.

Sound: good bass, excellent resolution, very smooth sound.

 

SR80: This headphone has all the attributes of the SR60 with improved response.  The SR80 is the winner of the “GOLDEN NOTE AWARD” presented by the Academy For The Advancement Of High End Audio, and has received Audio Video’s “HI-FI GRAND PRIX AWARD”.

Sound: more open sound stage, improved bass response.

 

SR125: This headphone is receiving the praise that has been reserved for products that cost two to three times the price. Winner of the “CRITICS CHOICE” award presented by Sound & Vision.

Sound: bass, midrange and treble are all more open.  De-stressing of the diaphragm increases inner detail. Theses headphones have balance and character similar to the RS1 headphones.

 

SR225: This headphone has closer matched drivers and an improved rear screen that increases airflow by 50%.

Sound: Closer driver tolerances helps enlarged the sound stage while the more open rear screen helps free the headphones of colorations. The SR225 offers excellent value for the dollar like all Grado headphones.

 

SR325i : The top of the line in the Grado Prestige Series.  Winner of Audio Video’s “HI-FI GRAND PRIX AWARD”.

Sound: The SR325i embodies all the sound benefits of the Signature series, clean open highs, smooth well defined midrange and bass that will rock. The SR325i is an excellent value yielding performance that one would have to spend 3-4 times their price in competing headphones.

 

Reference Series

RS2: The RS2 features handcrafted mahogany earpieces that require an intricate curing process to optimize the tonal quality.  The RS2 keeps a very close family resemblance in looks and sound to its big brother the RS1.

Sound: warm, smooth, full-bodied, rich and non-fatiguing...just like its older sibling.

RS1: Considered by serious headphone users as one of the best headphones available in the world.  Top listed headphone on Stereophile’s Class A “Recommended Components” category.

Sound:  This 9oz. headphone has an openness and clarity that is rarely matched by any other headphone. The RS1s have smooth highs, tight well-defined bass, depth and detail unmatched by any but the best high-end loudspeakers costing many thousands of dollars. 

Statement Series
A new level in headphone listening!

GS1000: Grado’s flagship headphone. Thought of by serious headphone users as the best headphone currently produced in the world. The GS1000 has received high accolades for its performance from around the world.

Sound: the GS1000s bring headphone listening to a new level. Considered to be the most comfortable headphone in the world, the GS1000 creates a room for your ears to sit, thus creating a larger sound stage and greater spatial experience for the listener. The GS1000 retains a sound that is pure Grado, rich full-bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and an ultra smooth top end. The presentation is very detailed, the bass is deep and the music is very tight and non-fatiguing. All with a soundstage that is huge allowing for unbelievable separation and layering of the music which is simply stunning.

A must for serious music lovers.

The complete line of Grado headphones offer excellent sound and value regardless of the price range you are shopping in.  All the headphones can be driven easily by any source from a portable CD to the best Top of the line components.

Grado also makes available a 15-foot extension cable and a mini adaptor cable.              

Replacement ear-cushions are available for all models.
