I've searched all the circles and was surprised to find that there are no headphone specific forums, so I'm asking here.
It looks like the AVA products, both phono cartridges and headphones, have been discontinued. The phono cartridges is not really a surprise given the move to digital, but the 'phones disappearance is something of a puzzle to me.
Now (FINALLY!) to my question - have the recent upgrades by Grado (the ...i and ...e versions) 'stolen' some of Frank's improvements to the stock product? I can well imagine that a company like grado would keep on eye on improvements and mods that others have made to their products and incorporated them into their product revisions. I said "FINALLY" above, but here's the real question - should I wait for the AVA mods to come back, or should I just go for Grado's latest 225 revision?
