The Beyer DT770/Pro 80s have a rated PHC of 100mW. If a given amplifer has a power output greater than 100mW at 80 ohms, would that damage the drivers of the 770s or is this a gross misunderstanding of how PHC works? The power output of amplifier is: 300 ohms: 187mW 32 ohms: 500mW

Be interesting to know how they compare. I tried the search function and it came up empty.

Gotta get a tube amp for my RS1 as solid state seems to be missing... something. Any suggestions as to which is the better amp, between the two, for the RS1? Three inputs on the amp are high priority though. Thanks.

Being a Grado fan, I would love to check out the RA1 but hate having to use batteries. Why was the AC version discontinued?

Now that I have a pair of RS1s, I was thinking of getting the MKV for its dual inputs and cost. The only problem is that I have no idea where to buy one. The other question is how well do the MKV and RS1 pair together? Thanks.

I currently have a pair of Grado SR 225s driven by a old Sony STR-D711. Funds are limited. So, should I invest some cash in a Gilmore Lite HA with DPS or a pair of Grado RS 1s? Source material on CD is Classical, Soundtracks, 70s/80s Rock, and DVDs. CD player is Sony SCD-CE595 and DVD player is...

I'm itching to get my hands on one of these but need a little advice before plunging the bucks down for one of them. Classical music, Soundtracks, Rock on CD and movies on DVD would be the primary sources, driven by an old Sony STR-D711 AV Receiver (still working after all these years). Any...

Any suggestions at < $500.00 USD? I lean towards Jerry Goldsmith in particular.

I've just purchased a pair of Grado 225s and am wondering where to get the flat pads that so many on this board speak of. I'm going to stick with the default pads but in case they cause a comfort problem down the road I'd like to have the option of replacing them. Also, are the pads difficult to...

Can someone help me pick out a good pair of phones for primarily orchestral music? Cans should be closed, price range is $50 - $150, and usage will be primarly with my Sony STR-D711 A/V receiver (no portables). Eliminate the Senn HD 280 Pro from the list please. I just got though returning those...

I'm currently breaking in a pair of 280s (64 ohm) and have only one issue with them. When played at high volume, there tends to be too much distortion. Right now I only have about 15 hours worth of break in time with them. Is it still too early to judge on whether the distortion is permanent or...
