Process: Grado Labs

Nearly 70 years ago, Joseph Grado, then a watchmaker at Tiffany & Co., began making phono cartridges inside his home in Brooklyn. Seeing the potential to do more with his craft, Joseph closed the family fruit store and turned it into Grado Laboratories. The decision turned out to be an inspired one, as by 1959 he was awarded patents for the first Stereo Moving Coil Cartridge and went on to enjoy three decades as the leader in the business as vinyl records hit their heyday. But by the late 1980's, as more portable methods of enjoying music came in to be, Joseph retired and sold the business to his nephew, John (who began sweeping the floors of Grado Labs at age 12). That's when Grado Labs began putting more time into the development of their now-acclaimed line of stereo headphones. Each pair of Grado headphones is built by hand in the same Brooklyn-based lab that doubles as the Grado family home. Now considered to be the makers of the first true audiophile quality headphone line ever built, we naturally looked to Grado when releasing a pair of headphones to compliment our turntable.

Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

Collars & Co. Quarter Zip Pullovers

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.
