I have a pair of Grado SR-325i's, but would like to hear some other cans. Who in Colorado carries other brands of headphones?

Just about the Grado 325i
I bought a pair of 325i's about three weeks ago, and have listened to them direct from a Sony DVP-S7000 DVD/CD player, and through a Millett Maxed tube headphone amp. They are great sounding headphones, with a nice balance. I don't find the highs to be overpowering or shrill, and the midrange is...- jimmyjohn

Can a Senn cable be converted for use on Grado?
The upgrade cables for Senn phones look like they have some type of plug at the headphone end. Can these be removed to use this cable for Grado 325i? I have found a used Cardas cable at a good price, and wondered if I could use it for my Grado. How difficult is it to open the Grado 325i...- jimmyjohn

New Millett Hybrid Maxed Amp
Another troubleshooting question: I bought a used unit a couple of weeks ago, and it's been working fine. However, yesterday I checked the bias voltages (normally 14.5V), and one channel was 9.9V while the other was around 20V. There was a pretty equal voltage change in opposite directions...- jimmyjohn

Need headphone capability - what are my options
My current system consists of a CEC CD player, Bottlehead Foreplay preamp, a pair of Wright 2A3 SET amps, and Pi speakers. None of the components have a headphone jack, so I'm trying to decide on the best and most economical path to headphone capability. The logical approach seem to be either...- jimmyjohn
