"Just When I Thought I Was Out ... They Pulled Me Back In Again"

 
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

Simon, Being that you located the SR-325 (originals), I wonder when Graodo and Allesandro formed their relationship?  If one were to check the following listing out, it is for a pair of Allesandro MS-2 headphones, which are the original MS-2, with the slightly smaller cups.  I suspect this is the direct comparison to the original Grado SR-325, but with some variation in the driver as typically occurs with the Allesandros.

Hey Wayne, I do not know when They Grado started making the Allessandro. The cups look to be the same shape.

You know how you guys are always looking for a cheap place to buy quality DIY wire and for the last year I've been referring you to Homegrown Audio for their copper and silver?
 
I completely forgot until now that Moon Audio sells their stuff for $10 a foot for copper, 18 for silver. You literally cannot beat that for a brand name cable. You just have to strip one end and then terminate it both ways and you have a complete cable.

Pretty.  I can just smell the burning foam.

 My tumultuous on and off love affair with the Eddie Current Zana Deux SE will never end :)
 
 I really do intend some day to add one to the collection as a complement to the V200, that or one of those ultra rare ECP Audio DSHA-1's.
 
 Only query being that many report that the stock gain setting even on low is a little too much for Grado headphones, is this something
 that Craig Uthus can rectify if noted when ordering?
 
 Would not want something like the RSA Raptor - beautiful transparent, clean amp, but the amount of gain is just nuts.
 I don't know anyone can turn beyond 10 o clock using any headphone of choice.

I don't know if they can modify the gain for you, but an impedance adapter would also knock it down a bit in principle. The fairly stable nature of the Grado drivers would mean you wouldn't lose anything either way as well. Just attenuation.

I suppose I should post here, owning and loving the GS1000i and I'm still contemplating getting an RS1i to get that more typical Grado sound (I listen to a lot of rock/metal, which I certainly enjoy with the GS1000i, but for those genres I find it hard to go past the classic Grado sound).
 
As it happens I do have a chance to get some brand new, still warrantied, RS2is. Do you think that would be worthwhile, going down to a cheaper set of 'classic' Grados given my use-case for them is somewhat more limited and considering I already have some other excellent headphones? Money is no issue at all, just whether the value proposition is so out of whack as to make it a better idea to get the RS2i (for reference I have the GS1000i, LCD-2, T5p, and AKG Q701 otherwise). Might be relevant to point out that I really liked the 325is on a brief audition, I know many struggle with their brightness, but a bit of brightness tends to suit me since I miss out a little in the highs (some high frequency hearing loss thanks to guitar and concerts). Didn't listen long enough to see whether the brightness would be fatiguing.
