Grado 225 and hotusb1 combo - looking for comments

Shure E5c question
I just got my Shure E5c and I noticed a few things. 1) it seems to get a small hiss when using my total air head+ ipod. I am pretty sure I dont get this hiss with ipod+total air head+sen 280's or grado 325's. 2) the amp doesnt seem to make much of a difference with the Shures. It makes a decent...- metal_monger

pyschology of headphones
I have what I consider to be, although totally subjective, evidence of the concept that your brain adapts to headphones vs headphones break in. I belive that, at least on the 3 cans of high quality headphones I have come accross, there is some change in the actual sound but the bigger change...- metal_monger

allesandro vs grado?
What is the connectoin, the headphones look identical, are they manufactured by grado and sold by a different company? Kind of like how Creative makes the Dell jukebox mp3 player, despite the fact they have their own Zen model? Thanks for any info.- metal_monger
