Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling
I'm currently using the GE JAN tubes and MUSES02. Very balanced to my ears. Seemed the Voskhods I had in before were more crisp and sometimes tended to be a bit forward sounding during longer sessions.- adtrance

I would say that it's very detailed full bodied. Nothing is lacking, it doesn't mask the treble and doesn't attenuate the bass at all. That's comparing it to the Corda Jazz solid state amp.- adtrance

Grado Fan Club!
My current combo is the MUSES02 with Voskhod 6ZH1P-EV tubes on the LD. I've messed with a few other EF95 tubes and OPA2107 opamp and while I can't tell the difference between the opamps, the Voskhods give me the best sound out of my 325e. Through the Meier, both the HD600 and 325e sound...- adtrance

Grado e Series
I'm pretty geeky when it comes to using objective data to help put my interpretations into perspective, so, it was nice to tie objective measurements done by Tyll with my subjective impressions (and liking) of my 325e. Plus, that there were no wacky aberrations between the left and right...- adtrance

It was a very fast processes. The whole thing from the time I boxed & sent mine in to when I got them back was about a week. Of course they weren't shipped between the US and UK... It's nice to know how my headphones measure. Let's hope someone with some patience is able to send in...- adtrance

Grado e Series
Keen eye GreenBow, all three graphs are from Tyll at Innerfidelity. 325e graphs are actually my Grados that Tyll measured as part of his "Volunteer Headphones for Measurement" program. He sent me printouts of my headphones and included the other two as comparison. The 325e measurements will...- adtrance

Headphones advice, Grado sr225e vs sr325e or alternatives
Try again in the Grado e series forum. I haven't heard the 225 so can't offer a comparison. The 325e are very good through both the amps I have in my sig. Direct from iPhone 6 sounds great too but direct from laptop not as good. If you don't get a Grado this time, you might be left wondering...- adtrance

Little Dot 1+ for Shure 940s - What do you think?
If you'd like to alter the sound of your headphones without using EQ, then a tube amp will give you some flexibility by rolling tubes and in the case of the LD 1+, the opamp as well. For example, Ei 6HM5 tubes will give you more warmth while the Voskhod 6ZH1P-EV gives more upper treble detail...- adtrance

New member, question regarding desktop setup
There are so many ways to approach a great sounding desktop setup for around $300. Getting a really cheap receiver and a pair of speakers is a viable path. My suggestion remains: Based on my experience, there's no substitute for a good subwoofer for PC gaming - as long as you don't run...- adtrance

New member, question regarding desktop setup
Welcome to Head Fi! If you're looking to keep it clean and simple, it's easy to recommend Audioengine, either the smaller A2+ ($250) or the larger A5+ ($400). Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX would also be an terrific setup for thunderous gaming audio on the cheap ($140). Very little hassle...- adtrance

Better sound: New headphones or DAC/Amp
New headphones will be your biggest change in sound. But as in all things Head Fi, one person's barely noticeable difference is another person's "NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE!" If it's in your budget and you're OK with open headphones, you can find the Sennheiser HD600/650 for under $300...- adtrance

Grado e Series
I'd say the 600s sound like I'm in a room with acoustic treatments while the 325e in a more naturally open room. I wouldn't say one is more transparent than the other as they both convey the details equally. 325e also has more bass. Without a doubt the Grado sounds great with both the Jazz...- adtrance
