has no one yet successfully contacted grado?

i really love jazz on the 325i. i've also heard they're not good for electronic, the the new The Field album sounds fantastic on them...

forum supports trolling, hooray! all the "benefits" you people discussed are flimsy at best - items being listed in the wrong place, rare at most - scams, if you think it is, then post it as an investigation as such - healthy discussion, most of the "discussion" that happens in the thread is...

srsly

i wouldn't have posted this thread while the auction was active. i couldn't care less about advertising for e-bay, but it is truly annoying the idiots who post threads while they're still active as a "hey, heads up, drive the price way up, guys hehe"

cause you got one helluva deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3D50%26fvi%3D1

i'd say stick with ms-1 (though order with plenty of time to spare). i heard both briefly at the san jose meet (having owned a pair of sr60s for years and now currently in possession of a sr325i) and though the difference is there, it's only there if you can afford it. it's the same with all...

yeah, but as i stated, the other forums put together don't get even as much traffic as this one. since they're as connected as they are (especially headphones - music), i really don't see the need for such militant patroling of content...

i'm in the 325i vs. RS1 camp

that thing looks like a sculpture out of a beetlejuice or something. i'd be scared to sleep in the same room as it.

i have it paired with a headfive and it sounds great, but when i A/B tested it vs. the headphone out jack on the stereo i couldn't really tell all that big a difference. some of the distortion hiss was cleaned up and there was a bit more clarity and less muddiness, but the effect was really...

guys this debate happens in each and every ebay thread on head-fi...can't we just air the side of caution and agree that these types of threads are unneccessary at best, and damaging to anyone that wants to buy them for a relatively decent deal and just stop allowing them guys, we're aware...

what's even worse is the difference between amped vs. non-amped grados. my 325i are definitely an upgrade from my 60s (the money is relative as it's largely dictated by subjective financial status), but on my middle of the road stereo the difference between amped and un-amped phones is very...

virtually everything after like the 5th post in this thread is greek to me. i should've probably stated from the beginning, if it wasn't implicit in my first post as it is, that i was reacting merely to the aesthetics of the design rather than the actual electronics involved. i know that is a...

or, at least any amp in that price range
