• I don't like grado headphones, so have no opinion there, but what cartridge do you have currently? Cartridge upgrades can make a big difference. Conical stylus can be great, it depends on the cart. Ortofon 2m red or audio technica at95e are good first upgrades.

  • An old Ortofon VMS 20E mk ii cartridge (it’s the OG Rega Planar 2 with the wood surround) and a third party stylus replacement.

  • I'd get a new cartridge. Those VMS ortofons are OK, especially with the original needle, but the 3rd party replacements are pretty poor.
