Okay guys, I just posted this in a Metal thread.  Figure I might as well spread the love.  The bass through Sonos, into my Benchmark, into my Soloist is huge, even with my 225i's.  Which are still my favorite with this kind of stuff... Though the 400i's still blow my mind.

Check over in the Grado mods thread. Tons of options and links to different kinds of mesh.

You could also just paint the mesh black using some enamel modelling paint

I fell in love with Grado the first time I put the RS1 on my head. I had them for some time and than sold them.   and now I fell in love with them again After getting the SR80e. 
I think my next step is getting the SR325e.

  Congratulations, great HP!
Well how do you like the 325is's with the M/M combo?
I use the same set-up for my desktop and think it sounds great, so I would think the PS-500e would sound fine, after all, Grados could never sound bad with anything IMO, only better with better gear. I had just as much pleasure with my Sony CDP-C701ES>80i's.

 
Thanks! To be honest, I just bought the Schiit stack last week, and it'll only get here Monday (hopefully). Maybe I should slow down on buying stuff... 

 
Also, I've noticed that the left side of the SR325is seems to be slightly louder. I can't tell if I'm imagining it, but I don't get the same problem with my Sony's or any other headphones. I'm running them straight out of my X3. The only thing I can think of is I'm using a crappy Radioshack 1/4 to 3/8" adapter, so that may be causing the problem. I'm really hoping the Schiit amp will be better. However, I can't get enough of the Grado sound. I've missed it.

by far the best OG record.

NEVER buy HP adapters from Radio Shack, they are complete garbage, and your wasting your money…for sure, and is most likely the reason for the unbalance.  
The M/M combo will be fine with the 325's, and I'm sure you will hear a very noticeable sound quality.
Keep us posted on your impressions.

Really? Even the Auvio twin-RCA-to-stereo-mini cord? Auvio is their premium line, cost 3x the cost of the a radio Shack brand, and looks really spiffy, with woven cloth cord wrap, like an old fashioned iron. I am using one to connect my source to my Grado HPA-1 amp. I'm wondering if I need to find something better. Thanks.

  I knew I shouldn't have come back to this site. I was doing so well staying happy with my MDR-V6. Just got the SR325is a few days ago and now I'm looking at the PS500e.
 
Would the PS500e be any good with a Schiit Modi/Magni stack? Is it worth getting?

  i didn't know him personally, i was 3 at the time of his death. 
otis was a kind, genuine , humble caring man, at that time in macon, and the south, relationships between whites and blacks weren't too good as you can imagine. otis and brothers phil, and alan walden( i was friends with phil's son philip and alan) weren't only business partners(actual partners) but very, very close friends , it was a relationship not very well thought of by both white and blacks. controversial to say the least. otis, being the man he was, handled everything with such grace and humility, as did the waldens, that it proved something to macon, and everyone else
what could be possible . macon's musical history is deep, macon is little richard's hometown, james brown lived there for a while, jimi hendrix ,while he was still a sideman, spent time in macon as  he had relatives there, and met johnny jenkins , who jimi emulated johnny's wild style, and flair and went on to become hendrix. after otis's death, duane allman, capricorn records southern rock exploded . otis's legacy is deep and wide

 
Thanks for the info. 
He really seems to have been a nice person...not only as an artist.
 
I do have the feeling that artists today are much 'faker' than the artists of yesteryear. Today show is as important as the music - or even more important...
