Does anyone have a MS1 driver to sell?

I'm willing to leave (and sell) my modded Alessandro MS1i for a pari of MS2.
Do you think the step in quality is listenable?
Anyone selling used MS2 for a fair price?

Anyone want to recable for $? I am a little too nervous to do it myself and something in the wire has made my left phone stop working. I figured better to get recabled then just have alessandro repair it. Ms-1's by the way.

Count me in. I got the MS1i for Christmas and love them so far. My PC sound card has a bit of a hiss so now I'm looking for a DAC. I'm trying to decide between the E10 or a Total Bithead.

sorry, but what's the difference between Alessandro and Grado? Aren't they made by the same company?

 

[Rhymenoceros]

so would removing the white screen on the drivers cause any or a very negligible effect on the sound?  i see some hairs trapped inside and it doesn't seem to affect the sound too much but i'd like to just get in there and remove them if possible.  not too worried about the drivers being unprotected and it'd make it easier to remove hair in the future...

so I have some ms1's on they way , gonna see how they do competing against the 225's

I like my 225i's more... I may start to like them more(MS1) once I put more listening time on them. The 225s just sound much warmer to me and I've grown accustomed to that, even more so after the maple cups. Though that's purely subjective.

the ms1 arrived  !! microstreamer too
i've used them less than an hour now
definately prefer the l-cush, the donut cushion, whatever its called(the cushion off the 225 lol)
this is a lot of headphone for $99 !!

I had to burn mine in for about 10 hours before they would no longer hurt my ears with harsh highs. Has this not been your experience?

they are a little harsh, bright, not really painful though, i really look forward to seeing how the burn in
and a side note, the hrt microstreamer is very impressive

 

[jaywillin]

well, i've ultimately decided to return the ms1, if i had heard them before having gotten the sr225i's
i very well may have been satisfied with them.
i was very impressed with their sound and being only $99
so impressed, i'm pretty sure i'll try a ms2 one day !!
 

 

[jaywillin]

i couldn't do it, had them boxed, had a return authorization number
i'm keeping the ms1's, need to buy another set of l-cushes for them !
 
start thinking about how to mod them !
