yeah tubes > ss w/ the 880s imo

I honestly have never seen any...ever. I have however heard a ton of other cans and have hada few good sessions w/ rs-1s to get a decent feel for them. I guess it has to deal w/ if I'm going to drop $500 I might as well save up to the $750 or so to get the best of it...

yeah I think you guys are right. I'm going to skip the 325i and go straight to the rs-1 (maybe use some of the current fundage on some headphile beyer pads). Oh, and while I liked the ps-1's of brian at the socal meet, the price jump from rs-1 just wasn't justifyable atm, but damn if those...

I'll second taiyos for the everymans quality disk. Never had a problem w/ them myself and I burn all sorts of crap (reason 2.0 owns me atm)

Just curious if the 325i is a large enough upgrade from the 225 to warrant it, or if waiting another couple of months and grabbing some rs-1s would be a more noticeable solution. From my experience the 2 are definatly very different sonically, but my question is more regarding is the 325i a...

where are the day 2 photos?

Ok, here is my review. I only made it out on Sunday (prior engagement on Saturday), but there was plenty of equipment to keep me busy. First thing that I got my ears on were the rs stealth and the rs raptor w/ my 880s. Both of these sounded quite nice w/ these cans off of the mer508. I think...

ooooh I know, buy the ones I have for sale, hehe. but yeah hroom is a nice place to order from also.
