Hi guys
I was reading almost all threads about this subject
But i wanted an opinion specific to my system.
CD - Marantz cd 63 - mkII KI signature
portable source - hippo gumstick , cowon i9 ,
amp - jds labs c-421 2227 and cmoyBB
headphones - HD555 and alessandro MS1i
Music - radiohead, dEUS, smashing, dave matthews, arcade fire, jeff buckley, muse, some classic too ! no rap and no disco sound or hip hop
I now is not a super system but money doesnt stretch
I am selling the HD 555 as i prefer the alessandro signature .
So i am thinking about getting a pair of headphones. 1 close and 1 open.
My ideias are:
open - Grado PS-500 vs Grado RS2i vs Alessandro MSPRO. -
closed - Denon D2000 vs D5000
I have read almost all threads i can get aboute them.
First about the DENON
I know the 5000 has better mids , but is it a very big diference? If i buy the 2000 never hearing the 5000 will i be missing much or just in A/B carefull listening you notice?
About the GRADO i can test in a shop here the models: 60i , 125i, RS1 and GS1000
I will use the 60 and 125 to hear the diference in alessandro/grado sound so to see if i will like the MSPRO once i hear the RS1.
the RS1 will give me an idea of the RS2i .
And what about the PS-500? is it similar to the GS1000 sound?
What would be a good cost/quality pack of closed and open headphones?
I like the ms1 sound but i never heard the grado line.
Last question.
Will the RS2 , mspro or PS500 TOO much for my system? And are they a great leap from my ms1?
thanks
