    The Grado SR325i Appreciation Thread!

    I have had my SR325is for about 5 days and have about 60 hours of burn in time on them.  When I got them, I thought they were really shrill and feared I'd made a mistake in purchasing them.  However, even with the short burn-in period, they have mellowed nicely.  This morning, I was listening to...

    Your first headphones?

    Mine were the Ortho-Dynamic Yamahas.  I purchased them for $79 at around the time CDs were first introduced.  I was the first guy on the block to get a CD player... an NAD.

    Is tube rolling just trying different tube combinations?

    For the most part, I listen to music I have on Media Center on my computer.  From the computer I go to a FiiO E17 DAC and from the DAC to the WA6.  The tubes in the WA6 are stock.

    Thanks Joseph.  In no way am I giving up on the 325is.  I have been burning them in all day today and they'll be busy all night too.

    I received a new pair of SR325is yesterday.  They are the painted version purchased from Amazon.  Serial number is 18312.  These are my first pair of full size Grados.  I already had a set of iGrados that I like very much.  The SR325is are going to take some getting used to.  Everything I'd read...

    Do you guys prefer dynamics or orthos?

    I have HD600s, Mad Dogs and Beyer T51Ps.  I like them all very much.

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    My first quality headphones was the HD600 and I have been very pleased with them.  I voted that way, looked at the results and they seem to be the clear front runner.

    Reply to review by 'willieboy' on item 'Cowon D2+ 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)'

    I agree, the D2+ is a great sounding player.  I've had mine for about four years and it is a favorite.

    Another happy WA6 owner here.  I listed to HD600s, Mad Dog 3.2s and Beyer T51Ps.  Hope to add some RS1is in a month or so.

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    I have three sets of headphones and they are, in order of my appreciation of them:   1. Senn HD600   2. Mad Dog Generation 3.2   3. Beyer T51P   I've had the Sennheisers the longest, so maybe I just became accustomed and comfortable with their sound.  They are airy and crystal clear and...

    Two new HifiMan players announced: HM700 and HM802

    I find no eq capability on my HM802.  It is what it is.

    Two new HifiMan players announced: HM700 and HM802

    I have my 802 on shuffle and have an HD card plugged in containing some of my favorite jazz.  When I select the 'All Songs" option, it plays the first song in the list, but then really seems to  choose songs randomly.  Each time I play the list, I get a the list in a different sequence, except...

    What is the mini-box card?  I don't know what a mini-box is.   I had an HM801 some years ago.  The sound was nice but the UI was brutal.  After too short a time, it quit working altogether and, in disgust and anger, I threw it in the garbage.   Good luck with your HM802.  Please let is us...
