I'm using the Ei84s. I do have a question though. After a few hours, I decided to try various 'phones with my Head. When I plugged in the CD3000s I was greeted with a noticeable "buzzing" in the left channel. Music masks it most of the time, but in quiet passages I can still hear it. I then listened carefully to the Senns again and noticed the "buzz' is there very, very slightly. But I could swear it wasn't there in the beginning of my listening session, because I was listening specifically for any extraneous noises. It's a little more noticeable on the MS Pros, and totally non-existent on the Grado HP-1s. I switched the tubes, right to left, and the 'buzz' is still there. I've also noticed, that with no signal, the "buzz" remains constant until about the 2 o'clock volume setting and then DECREASES to almost nothing. Right before full volume, however, it picks up again in intensity. Any clues?
