Reviews
"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 RA1 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." - Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound

"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

"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

"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 Hollander, Positive Feedback
