As far as I know, I have the largest collection of Grado headphones in private captivity. In addition to the joy that it gives me, it also gives me both an opportunity and, perchance, a responsibility to compare these models systematically. My Grado Family Portrait - 25 headphones, 1 IEM, 2 amplifiers, and 2 wooden boxes. (From L to R):
