I looked at your profile, and it seems like you listen to a lot of rock, so you can count on me giving the usual Grado recommendation. Go with either the MS-1's, or, as suggested, go for used Sr-225's. Bass shouldn't be a problem because the word on the caffeine amp's bass boost has been good...

Eagerly awaiting the price, Ray! My greatest hope is that it's <$450, but I highly doubt it.

I think we had a big thread on this awhile back... And, yes, they fit all Shure 'phones (they all have the same nozzle diameter), and they are tapered, so you don't need to roll them as much as the yellow foamies. Plus, one pair lasts a long, long time (I've gotten 6 months and counting out...

Any Floyd fan will tell you that Animals and Wish You Were Here are both better than DSOTM.

All of the aforementioned shows should be cancelled -- but the vast majority won't (unfortunately; but we can wish, can't we?) be cancelled for an eternity. As much as I hate to say it, the way this seasons' been going, Heroes might be on the verge of making this list. Never have I so quickly...

The only advice I have is to keep listening to your e500's and let your brain get used to its sound sig.

Sort-of first impressions: MS1's are very energetic, and maybe slightly too bright; I can't imagine what would've happened if I had gone with "true" Grado HPs. Mids in particular are very detailed and precise, it feels like I'm listening to my CD collection for the first time. As far as the...

I've had lucid dreams on little as 6 hours' sleep. They don't last long enough (alarms), but it still happens.

A nozzle barb is a ridge on the nozzle that holds the sleeve in place.

Received mine today! They sound so much better than any other 'phones I've tried... But this is just the beginning of my head-fi journey...

Full album's on myspace... and it's not quite as good as I expected to be. IKS was better, far and away. Of course, that could be because of the horrendous sound quality of the stream.
