i used to have the grado 325i but sold it after a month. i thought i was going to use the funds recuperated to splurge on a pair of SA5k, but instead, the money went to funding a pair of ER4P and an RS Hornet.
thinking back, i really enjoyed the 325i. yes, they were much brighter than my HD650 but i think its a quality which grows on you considering how great they sound with rock, with to die for guitar solos and slamming tight bass.
there is now a shop in Singapore which brings in the MS2i so if i wanted to buy them, they would be a bus ride away. they're not that much more expensive than if i were to order them from alessandro, maybe about US$10-15 more than the online price, but then i wouldnt need to wait for them, and no worry of having them lost in the mail/held up in customs.
the question is, would the money be better used elsewhere? should i instead think about buying the SA5k again? or should i spend the money buying a diamond mini to mini from RnBaudio and a P-S converter for my ER4P? should i consider other cans/or an amp upgrade?
my setup now:
home: cambridge audio azur640c ver2 - QED Qunex2 ic - little dot ii - HD650 with stock cables
portable: ipod 5g - pocketdock - stock pocketdock mini to mini - hornet - ER4P
as u can see, i have quite a few options for upgrade ie better amp, change the HD650 cables etc etc
any advice? or should i just splurge on the MS2i?
