Lets see, I first bought an MS-1 after joining Head-Fi, and was instantly struck by how wonderful they sounded. I moved along to the MS-2i, and again was amazed at the sound. The bug had hit, and it was a very painfull sting, because I went out and got an RS-1. Fantastic, just a musical presentation that's hard to explain, unless you have heard it. Well, eventually I ended up selling them to fund other headphone purchases. I ended up swapping my MS-2i for an SR325i, because I had a tube amp coming, and heard that tube amps really tame any bright or harsh highs.
As funds became tight again, I eventually sold the 325i, and any other Grado that I had, yes, I know, you're listening to them right now!
I got very accustomed to the sound of my amp, and decided to give another go at the Grados. I fell in love with the 225's, as they handled rock almost as good as my RS-1 did. At this point, I didn't feel there was anything that could better the 225 for the price of them. After another unloading stint with what cans I had left, I ended up selling the 225 also! Does it ever end?
Now that things are settling down a bit for me, and I have spent a great deal of time with my PPX3-Slam, I felt that another Grado in the mid priced range would be just the ticket for me. I went into NYC to Harvey Electronics not knowing really what to get, but was worried that I'de walk out with some wood!
Turns out I picked up another SR325i, and got a great deal on them to. The synergy with my PPX3-Slam, is something that must be heard, rather then explained, pure bliss! I didn't think it would get much better than the 225, but I was mistaken! These 325i's are a tube lovers dream! So lets hear some 325 stories, and adventures of your own, and let's not get to overheated here children!
