I'm a pair of ALESSANDRO MS-PRO. Due to the defective design, the earphone cable is subject to abrasion with the wood cup and the surface of cable finally broken. So that I decide to re-cable it by a skilled person. However as I'm relatively new here so that I do not know who I can rely on...

Have your say! All for fun and I'm really quite anticipating your vote.   Edit: I'm extremely sorry for not adding the HF-2 into the equation, I never heard of them at the time.

Hey everyone. Looking for some experienced grado fans to help me out with my next set of cans. I am currently a fairly happy owner of the ATH-AD900s. They have a beautiful, clear and bright sound, but at the same time lack a little punch which a little extra bass can give. I also find they can...

Hi all, This is my first post. I currently own a MS-PRO which is used with the RSA SR-71A (portable). Using the benchmark dac1 pre as DAC. Prefer the sound with the SR-71A compared with the HPA2 headphone from benchmark. Warm and more pleasant. If I were to 'upgrade' from the SR-71A to a...

There seems to be no Grado dealers in Australia, but I know of at least one Alessandro dealer. Their headphones look really similar, so what's the deal with them? From what I'm seeing, SR80i = MS1(i?), SR325i = MS2(i?) and RS1i = MSpro? Also what's the difference between the i and non i...

Hi, Are there any outward difference between the Alessandro MSPRO first model (equivalent of Grado RS1) and the new model (equivalent of Grado RS1i (mproved)? I am not referring to differences in the sound. Is it possible, in other words, recognize them from the cable, from the jack, from the...

Hi all, Once upon a time there were some posts about modding Grado drivers with some kind of sticky tack to mimic the tack seen in the higher end Grado cans. Searching for the threads here and on headwize has produced nothing useful. What I am looking for mainly is: 1) what type of stuffs...

Have anyone compared their MS1000 with the high end grados? Is the MS1000 a good contender? or the MS1000 sound just another sub 400 range can?

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   Been lurking for some time, first time I've gotten to posting.   I'm currently looking into buying a pair of Grado SRxx, more specifically the 60's or 80's, after hearing one of my colleagues SR80, with comfies. I current own a pair of AKG K601, and a pair of UE...

And I loved them! Fantastic sounding can. I'm thinking about buying a pair but they are quite cheap and I was wondering if there was anything out there that sounds similar but is a little more high-end. I can get them for $150 here in Australia but I can spend about $400 on some new cans. So...

I thought this would be a good time to start a MS PRO thread. I ordered my pair today. I'll be using them with my Creative Vision:M DAP & PA2V2 amp. I'll also use them with my Denon CD player. I understand these Grado style headphones really shine with the use of a tube amp and I have hopes of...

Just like the topic reads. I'm looking for something that retains the general toe-tapping sound of the grado sound, while also managing to have much more impact in the sub-bass (no mid bass bleed or needless warmth) and better soundstage. I can make bass better to a pretty good degree on my...

Hi guys, i wanna start this thread as i feel the interest for the akg seem to be waning. Weird upper midrange? No bass? Mid range not as good as k501? (maybe but k701 still sound more enjoyable) Sounds plasticky? Look like toliet bowl? No matter what it is , i still love them. I bought them...

  Quick note: In case you're wondering why I started a thread on this: I was one of 4 people whom Jude contacted to ask if we could continue posting to our Head-fi blogs post-software change-over.  As there isn't any blog software presently, our blogs are now forums.     It's always...

Hi, I am a 16 year old looking for a pair of ms-pros for my dad, because he said that he missed them and regretted selling his.  So is anyone generous enough to sell their ms-pros?

Hi,   After a smaller eternity lurking around here I finally took the step and created an account and now, my first post. I’ve been looking to upgrade my sound system, and I’m having some issues deciding which products to go for. What I need is a Dac/Amp and a pair of headphones.   But...

asking those who have experienced both - which do you prefer/genres? I've heard the MS Pro's are only a tad better than RS-2 - would that be correct? Has anyone spotted a F.R. graph for the Alessandro Pro's? Finally - which version of the RS-1 is noticably the best - IOW, are the vintage...
