Got my sr60s the other day as some of you know, and I was wondering (Since my birthday is coming up soon) what should be the next step? I love the sr60s, the bass is perfect for me, but I feel that the mids and highs are lacking a little bit. I love crisp, fresh highs (Don't know how to really say it) Should I just upgrade to better grados or what? Thanks in advance

Get another pair of Grados! The usual Grado progression is SR60 -> SR225 -> RS1

I was thinking that, but heard the 225s dont have as much highs?

SR325

The 225's have great highs. It is just that it has more bass than the lower end models. If the bass is just perfect for you, you might want to go for an SR-325i or just save up for a used RS2

RS1 with bowls... IMHO considerably more midrange clarity and treble extension. More bass clarity and extension too... Just more clarity and note distinction all around compared to the SR60.

Amp with a headamp GS-1... superb clarity and resolution.

If you're using the comfies with your SR-60, you could save a boatload of money and buy some bowls for them. That really wouldn't cure any upgradotis, but it would give you better mids and highs.

Or, he could buy any other Grado model with bowls, and cure upgraditis and his desire for more midrange and treble at the same time! Take a look at the 325i's, dj, or just go straight for the RS-1's. Good luck.

Go for broke and get a pair of HE60. They have the most exquisite highs and all the detail you could ever hope for. Even with a mediocre source and mid-range amp, the mids and highs are still superb. Detail, clarity, refinement, intimacy all in one. Simply breathtaking.

If that isn't realistic, then what about the SR-325i? They've got sparkling highs (almost too much of it IMO).

alessandro ms2i?

I have the SR 60s my next Grado upgrade was the SR 325i. I really like them alot they are one of my favorite cans. Another suggestion would be put bowls on your SR 60s it really took them to a new level for me anyway.

 

[djdanp]

Okay so if I get the 225s, do I really need an amp? If so what one should I get thats under 100$?

The most amazing highs I've ever heard come from a pair of Etymotic ER4P/S. Extreme detail and will give you the lows and mids too.
