Actually as good as the TRX-2 is.....

The Grado beats it on the following levels: More focus meaning a clearer and cleaner background that the music is delivered; More dynamic from quiet to loud passages; Plus I can hear micro detail with the Grado like the shape of a singer's mouth, and the air vibrating the vocal cords.

The TRX-2 hints at these, the Grado fleshes it all out and lets you down only in one area. Its high frequency extension is much higher, and on my ribbon tweeters this also contributes to just a little more sibilance.

I love my TRX-2 and I play it as often as I like. I just wish I had your level of equipment to see how good it actually is. My system is only awesome.

My TRX-2 has maybe 25-40 hours on it, so I expect it to continue to open up and sound even better in the upcoming weeks.

Reality is a bitch or so I hear. The Grado Reference Master is the real deal on the Magnepan Unitrac or other very low mass tonearm. Extremely close to my Rosewood Signature but with better bass, and a better high end. The Rosewood is significantly sweeter in the midrange but lacks on the top and bottom.

I would shoot you a comparison CDR of the TRX-2 and GRM but it would only be fair after the ADC has an opportunity to break in some more.

I will ship you my Grado if you want to try it first hand and it should sound great on any arm that complements the ADC.

I want to know how much different the sound is on the TRX-3 vs TRX-2.
