Good to hear Val, Really digging the names and the packaging for Forza! Can't wait to be able to check these out :)

So maybe just stick with getting the 225 and a new amp as opposed to the rs1? 

Thanks for the advice everyone, Now I just have one more dilemma. I don't know if I should get the 225's and upgrade my amp or if I should get the rs1's and use my Asgard in the meantime until I can get a solid tube amp. It's just with more research the rs1's are continuing to be a very...

Hmm yea the only thing that keeps me from choosing to purchase one over the other is if I want to tube roll or not. It sounds like something I would be interested in but is that ability worth the extra $300ish? I have a budget of around $500 for the amp but I will pm you. Thanks, Arion

Thanks for the reply, In the future I wanted to get some of the Hifiman line so I will probably get the lyr but I will check out the Mapletree amp and see if I can find a used one.

Thanks for the reply, Which should I lean towards now in your opinion? I have enough for either and I also am looking at is as an upgrade for my Asgard. I know the original lyr wasn't suited for lower impedance headphones but with the lyr 2 it is according to the schiit staff when I asked them...

Hello, I about to get some 225e's and a tube amp but just have some questions. I have demoed the 225i and really enjoyed them but based on impressions some have not enjoyed the e verson as much, with myself not being totally familiar with the 225i having only spent 20 or so minutes listening to...

Thanks for the replies. I am definitely looking at getting the 225e just because it will be easier to get a hold of. But I am still looking for the 325's to demo to see if I like those more.

So I was planning on picking up either the 225's or 325's but I was just curious if people found the "i" models to be better than the "e" models. I have demoed the 80i, 225i, and PS500 and I really like the Grado sound so I don't know if I should pick up one of the newer models or go for the...

I got a chance to demo the 225i, 80i, and PS500 and I definitely do like the Grado sound signature. So far I am leaning towards the 225i's but I'm still hoping I can find a place to demo the 325's. Thanks, Arion

Hello, Maybe take a look at the Ultrasone Pro 2900's. They are great all-rounders in my opinion and also are very revealing so it should suit you since you said you liked analytical headphones. They have a removable cable and ear pads and the bass on them are pretty damn good as well as long as...

I am currently selling my Pro 2900's in case anybody is interested. Thanks, Arion

Sounds like the Grados will be better for my needs then. I most likely will be able to demo them tomorrow.

Ahh makes sense. I see you also have the HE-400's which I also looked at. How do they compare to the Grados for rock and indie music? Thanks, Arion

Yea for sure. If you don't mind me asking, why are you selling the headphones? Just want to make sure they aren't bad of anything haha. Thanks, Arion
