Hello,  I just purchased Alessandro ms1i's
i want an amp that will enhance all genres of music. 
Plus, may have a button or toggle if I want to punch up the bass 
when I listen to more bass emphasized music!
 
All voices will be heard and appreciated... Thanks!

JDSLabs Cmoy or PA2v2 to get started.

Thanks a million for your response...
So is it better to go with the stock JDSCmoy or the custom one with LOW-Z amplifier?
thanks,
 
Luis

The stock amp is a nice pairing, but I'd ask him to build it with low gain in mind (2x or 2.5x).

Mozu has the MS1's so I willl trust him on the judgement of the JDlabs and PA2V2, The overal summary of those 2 amps from what i have heard should do well with the rock based MS1's..should. idk.
 if someone has the MS1's and has the PA2V2 and JDlabs can respond that would be helpful.

Well, they finally arrived today and had them on my ears in less than 39sec.
They sound really nice and I can see where burn time and an amp will just
KICK IT IN TO HIGH GEAR!!  Now I need to put some miles on them.
I will contact JD Labs and have them make the amp to those specs with
the low gain in mind. (2- 2.5x)
 
I will keep you informed with qualitative review over the burn period as to the sound
and how it changes with Amp as well.
 
Thanks!

Well, 
I've got about 40-50hrs of burn time and they are sounding really much better than when they first laid upon my noggin.
I really love'm and know with more burn they will get better.
The only thing that bothers me is that my ears would get to warm right away.
So I washed the earpads a couple times and that seemed to really help.
 
I've been thinking about mod'ng them with  some Jaben earcups...red aluminum!
Well see not sure...but loving the sound so far.
 
The highs are crystal clear...
The mids are really strong...
The lows are what they are suppose to be...I don't listen to a lot of heavy bass music.
 
I guess the best way to describe the music is to describe listening to a song.
Artist: Marc Anthony
Genre: Lating Salsa/Latin Jazz
 
The Trumpets are beautiful...They float when the notes need to float & take off when its needed
The Piano is letting the fingers do the walking, sprinting and skipping sweetly
The Trombone sound lifts and supports the band.
The Congas come in with a nice tight sound and bounce when appropriate
The Guitars plucking just right I can hear the fingers just picking
The Maracas are exquisite
 
His voice I can feel the velvet sounds and effort in his voice.
 
 
Love IT!!
