How huge is the upgrade from Grado SR80i to RS1i?
Both used on a good pre-amp, and lossless audio. How huge is the upgrade from these too? I'm not talking about the money, but the sound? good improvements or bad? Is it worth the upgrade? Cos I can start using my SR80i outside my house once I get the RS1i.- MrAwesome
