Quick question -- is there a way to tell if I'm looking at a SR325i versus a SR325is from a photo or serial#? Currently trying to get the SR325i and am looking for one in the usual places but I want to make sure that I'm actually getting the right version.

 325i are anodized gold (50th Anniversary) not sure if they produced a 325i in another finish? The 325is came in aluminum finish then chrome finish and eventually the 325is/e were finished in metallic silver. The photo you posted is a chrome 325is.

Ok thanks for the help. I'm starting to wonder though if an actual 325i is ever going to go on sale... all I see are the is model.

Your welcome.
The 325i is supposedly the brightest of the 325 models…nothing wrong with the 325is they are an excellent HP. Prior to the 325i there was a 325 which was (black) anodized aluminum with a cylindric cup where as the 325i and up have beveled edges on the cups.

Anyone with experience using grado and ifi nano idsd? Thinking of getting one for portable use with my sr80e.

Yeah I'm just looking for something as in-your-face as possible which is why I'm trying to get the 325i which I've heard is the Grado most in that direction.

  It's not less so than the "i" model though? (being less bright)

Being "bright" and being "in your face" are two different things.
The 325is treble is "crystal clear" with excellent detail and forward mid-range.

Sir Kayandjohn
Did you happen to start that comparison thread you spoke of before?
I hate pm'ing for your opinion all the time to the point I didn't want to bother you on a set of sr100 (not red lettering) that are now sold.
If you need motivation I will send you a prescription for dexadrine; this should counteract any turkey induced spikes in trydophan.... then again, What do I know, I never went to med school, I just stole a stack of scripts from the dentist while he went to get my "minions" pencil & eraser set as reward for no cavities. So, take at your own risk.
And thank you in advance for the thread and comparisons that must take an exaustive amount of time and energy.
