New Grado fan here.  Enjoying my SR80i with Scush, Lcush and Sennpads.  From here, I wonder what is the better SR upgrade?  SR225 or SR325?  Both are being sold used about $150.  Ofcourse, logic dicates to get the higher model 325 for a sweet deal, but I hear that the 225 is much better.  Any advise?

Man, I'm barely getting a chance to unbox the GS1000i. This must be the first time I ever catch a break with UPS, I always miss them and have to catch them on the second or even third attempted delivery.

Anyhow here's some pics, I should hopefully get in 20 - 30 minutes of listening time before headed to work

The PS1000 was planned for, the GS1000 was an accident! Doh!

Now the plan is for the PS1000 to rule the GALAXY next to the Rs1 and overthrow the emperor GS1000!

OMG! They're absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on scoring both the GS1Ki's and PS1000's.

I've been there, went in for an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, came out, with, said 2M Blue, and a pair of mint, HP1000, that set me back a measly $350.
 
Thinking back, it's a good thing that I didn't find out about the HP1000's worth untill the next day, otherwise, I might not have been able to keep a straight face, all the way through the end of the buying procedure.

Thank you for the recommendations.  Unfortunately, I have to sell my SR80 to get the upgrade.  I think we have a local store that will let me test both the 225 and 325, but for only $150 it seems stupid not to get the 325.

I recently posted about this, but I bought my GS1000 new, and the next day, I was showing them to a friend of mine, and he spotted a 1/2'' scratch on the back of the right ear cup.
