  just to clarify, I also love the 325e's very much! I think they sound amazing.

agreed , and i was confirming your post, the dac i'm using at the moment is the schiit modi, which is more on the brighter side than some dacs
and i think it pairs very nicely

  I am just checking the modi out, looking for impressions.

IMO, it is a super deal, it hangs with dacs costing a good bit more
and it's not not really, it just isn't warm
i'm probably going to sell mine, and get the new modi 2 uber

The bedroom hey!, I take big doses of Cortizone, and it's causing me insomnia, so listening to nice sounding music while lying in bed, might help me sleep.


 


This is my favorite image of these C-Moys, Whirwind, did you have a choice of OP amps when you bought yours?


 


Oh! and who did you buy it from?

I ordered mine off of e-bay a couple of years ago......I can not remember the sellers name.

You get to pick your choice of tins.....opamps.....volume pod and color of led light

You can roll opamps in it.

This seller has quite a variety of op amp tins, and he custom builds the C-Moys he sells, so he could probably provide even more variety?

Is the 325e that much warmer than the 325is?
This makes me wonder...
 
Although i feel the same with certain tracks even on my 325is.

Makes me wonder too.
I enjoy my 325is's just the way they are.

CMoys are great little amps but I can't recommend strongly enough to buy from John at JDS Labs.
The JDS Labs PCB and build quality are far better than any of the other CMoy options - the key being that John has professionally produced PCBs.
John can also customize the amp for high or low impedance / 9V or 18V etc, but the stock amp is a great all rounder.

I would NOT buy a CMoy from anywhere else....

I agree... Mine is from JDS and has the bass boost and is tuned to a particular headphone, which they do if you ask. Literature from JDS on the C-Moy stresses the importance of a well-designed printed circuit board, and they have spent much time getting theirs right.

But it was good to see all the tins.

Feels like it's been months since I spent any time with my Grado's, so I just gave Zeppelin's Presence a go off of Spotify.  I'm glad to be able to  write that the Grado's continue to hold their own.  Nowhere even close to the bass of the 400i's or the resolving power of the Primes.  But I don't miss either when listening to the 225i's.
 
I'm very content with these three main headphones.  As I am fond of writing: three different flavors of awesome!

JDS may be better....but I have rocked my $40 c-moy at bed time about 5 days a week for about 1 1/2 years and have done nothing to it....other than roll op amps and replacing the battery every so often
