Well, I hear that the word is still out on science...
How Power hungry are the Grado 325i's?

I've only personally heard one clone and it was indeed different sounding.
If you'd like to spend the money and time on an in-depth analysis, you're more than welcome to do so. Simply being in disbelief about their dissimilar sound won't change the evidence that can be found by searching on Head-Fi.

Amazingly, I got this one (used as part of a package with my Vintagey RS1) after reading that actual article. I know that it's cheap in there... but I just can't dispute the fact that it sounds good to me.

Unfortunately, I rarely see any scientific talk on this forum. Sadly, on issues like burn-in, scientific explanation, or talk regarding a lack of it, is... how do I put it... aggressively ignored by many. Oh, and not to add fuel to the flame, but if you're unconvinced the RA-1 is ridiculously overpriced, look here. |

How would the RA1 work with Grado SR325is headphones? I am seriously looking into getting one.
Thanks,
