I have seen the Grado 1/4 to mini adaptor and it looks around 15 dollars.
The Radioshack 1/4 to mini adaptor however is 5 dollars.

Will there actually be a difference in sound quality when jacking my MS1s into them?

And if there is a difference, is it even significant enough to go out of my way and ship a more expensive adaptor?

I have not heard both, but I would guess that if it's not immediately, obviously worth $10 to you to find out, that no, it isn't worth $10 more.

Get the Sennheiser one that is included with HD650's. Much cheaper than the Grado one and much better than Radio Shack's.

i dont quite get where this leads me lol

thanks for your input tho.

So the grado ones DO actually make a sound difference compared to the ratshack ones?

Get the Sennheiser, its every bit as nice as the Grado except it isnt over priced.

The advantage of Grado/Senn's adapter isn't sound quality, it is that they don't put extra stress on your amp's mini-jack.

On the chance it will then I think 5 bucks is a small price to pay, right?

So i guess no impact on sound quality, simply the stress on the 1/8 jack eh?
