Definitely HD595. But you should also consider A900 or AD700.

If I actually buy the HD595 what would be a good (cheap

) amp to drive them? Also if anyone could advise me on the soundcard, I'm thinking of buying a E-Mu 0404. I will only be using stereo and I won't do any recording. Is the E-Mu 0404 a good buy or are there other better soundcards for a similar price.

Although I've never heard them, I've read a lot of posts here that say the 555s are better, especially given that they're cheaper. Good luck.

You'll get used to the HD595 sound. Then switch back to the SR225s and you'll find the Grados a bit harsh and not quite smooth enough
