I edited my post about You-Know-What and I ask everybody who mentioned You-Know-What to do the same.

Nevermind

Was looking at the FS forum and thought you might be interested: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs...225-eu-351591/

Does the adaptor have any influence on sq generally speaking? The reason I'm asking is that a pair of RS 2 is on its way to me, and I'll have to use it with a portable amp for a while. The Grado adaptor costs about $30 where I live and I'll buy it only if the cheap ones change anything regarding...

Jethro Tull of course! Listen to "Thick As a Brick", which is a one "song" album. If you've never heard them before, I reccomend checking out the live version from Madison Square Garden on youtube, just get an idea of what kind of person Ian Anderson is. A little less known great band: Van...

Since I've stretched my budget already to used RS 1/2s, I think I could manage to spend $600-700 on headphones with an amp already. At least I understand that the entry level system costs this much (or little for some of you). Is there any US internet store that offers worldwide shipping for...

Are the customs in Finland so high that there is no point in ordering from USA even considering the weak dollar?

Remember that most IEMs require good (i.e. not very bad) source and decent file format (lossles or very high bit rate mp3). If all your music is compressed in low bit rate mp3s, IEMs won't sound good, as they will pick out all the artifacts caused by compression. If you choose custom IEMs...

I'm really tempted to get the Grados(/Alessandros) now. Since buying a good amp won't be an urgent & important issue with these - at least not as much as with Senns for example - I think I can stretch my budget a bit (or rather "a bit") to get some used RS 1/2s. Thanks for the input, you've all...
