Sweet, gives me an excuse to get the Schiit Vali then lol

So then my only other question is; how well do Grados (especially 225e) pair with tube amps? I think I read somewhere that tube amps tend to create distortion or too much hum with their design.

Good to know and my God those PS500's sound delicious, but well out of my budget for the foreseeable future

i wonder if i can demo them at the needle doctor before committing?

damn you...lol

i thought i heard before that some people thought that the 325e was almost too bright? Have you experienced that at all?

yeah, that's what peaked my interest, it seems like for the Prestige Series its either go 80e or 225e everything else isn't worth the money. I'm sure some will disagree, but again, that's based on my research. 

yeah the cable got detached somehow and the original owner never got it fixed. So I picked 'em up and sent them back to Grado. Refurbished them and new ear cushions for $30 i think

Cool, then it sounds like I should opt for the SR225e then. Basically I'm looking for headphones to dedicate to the new system and all of it's eventual upgrades down the line. thanks for the help!

yeah, don't really wanna go over $200 if i can help it, simply because of other costs i have going on right now. 

So about a year ago I came across the 1st Gen Grado SR80s for $1 and quickly fell in love with them. Now I am finally looking to upgrade after getting a new record player and amp and was curious was to what you guys this worth the investment: 80e, 125e or 225e?

awesome, i shall look in these

Hey there,   just recently bought a Pro-ject Essential II which came with the Ortofon OM5E and was curious as to what might be a good eventual upgrade; Ortofon 2M Red or Grado Green or Blue?

First off let me start with that I am in now way an audiophile, but definitely a music enthusiast and for my 30th birthday, the Mrs has given the green light for me to upgrade my current Crosley TT. Right now I have narrowed down the choices to either U-Turn or Pro-ject.    With U-Turn I would...

Hey folks,   While we all have different tastes, one of the things that has brought us all here is our love of music. We recognize it as part of our very souls and unsterstand the impact that it has on all of us in our daily lives and the way it shapes our culutre. Well, some pretty deep...

Does anyone have a clue where one could download it? I cannot find a site for the life of me that has it. Even if its a free torrent, I dont mind. I bought the CD once and it broke when my retard of a dog ran head first into my CD tower and knocked it over; and I also have it on vinyl. So I...

Hey folks I just recently bought a pair of k271 MKIIs (thanks to the suggestions of the wonderful people on this forum) and recently worked out some kinks on my iPod classic. Now I am on to the next step, a portable amp.   I have been looking at the Fiio E6 on amazon which seems like a great...

Quote: I kind of thinking that might be the problem; which will be even more annoying because I have the EQs set differently some songs. Leave it to bands like U2 to have an acoustic and dance song next to each other.

Quote: I'm using the K271 MKII, and it doesn't happen on all tracks. Like I said though; it was happening with the factory earbuds that came with the ipod. The battery was under half when I started noticing the problem. 

I just bought a brand new iPod classic back in late February early march and I am starting to notice bursts of static or fuzz while listening to music. At first I just thought it was because of the ear buds I was using (I use the factory buds while at work); but I just bought a new pair of AKGs...

Quote:   Quote: Sweetness. Just ordered them last night. You recommend any amps for it? and any preferences or opinions for home systems.

Quote:           I found a set on amazon for under $130

Quote: would you recommend them for jazz and blues? sorry for being repetative; just want as much feedback as i can get before pulling the trigger

Quote:  Good looking out; but I convinced her that will be hers as much as they are mine muah ahahahaha. And those Beyers seem pretty legit. I'm debating between those or the AKG K271 MKII. Otherwise I'm just going to get something from the Dollar Store and cry.
