Don't feel bad about not ponying up to the big leagues. If you want to get there you will. I'm in the same boat. It's all about priorities.
 

I love the sentiment, and I agree about priorities.
 
I'm pretty sure I've ponied up to the big leagues, or at least AAA

Guess I should update my signature...

Did you listen to them with the woo

No, at that time I did not have a dedicated headphone amp, I listened through my Sony CDP-C701ES- Adcom GTP-400 Pre-amp/tuner with the Meridian 203 D/A converter. My 325is's out of the Woo actually sound like a mix of the MS2i/325is, they sound great! I do like both models, but I preferred the 325's, so with the Woo its like I have them both.

  Just grab the best Grado that you can afford to hold you over....even the SR60i has the Grado signature......heck...it is an awesome headphone.

This is it. Grado flavor is addicting. I assume every Grado headphone is injected with a "drug" thing that ears are always asking for.  Now I'm hooked. Grado fan-Valiente.

Well semicoln, it's been 7 years now since I have joined the dark side (Grado), and in that time, I have had the chance to hear pretty much every Grado models, and even though I'm lucky enough to own what I consider to be desireable Grados, my SR80i still manage to amaze me, everytime I put them on.And even though I prefer the sound of my other Grados, when you factor in the SR80's low  price, and the fact they can sound good out of just about anything, including a canary's butt, it's easy to see why they're so popular.
 
As I've said before, If I'm ever foced to sell my other Grados, I could be very happy with my SR80i as my only pair of headphones.
 
Oh!, by the way, I have the L-cush on my SR80i.

Agree 100%.
Theres something about the 80i's that is unique sounding to me, and I've always said this also.

I thought that was the case, just not sure.
 
You use any other cans but Grado's thru the woo ?
 
It is a great looking amp.
