Grado Reference Sonata re-tip

Thanks for the response. I see you always get the $250 level done which is what I was leaning towards. I like the Grado sound, but was thinking of going the Soundsmith direction just to see where it leads. Sounds like the way to go.

I'm using a Benz L2 right now but need a back-up just in case. The Sonata has many hours and needs attention.

If I go the trade in route, I'll never know how the Soundsmith would sound. Still leaning towards the Soundsmith since it's less expensive and may sound better to these ears.
