Hi guys,
I´ve been reading a lot in these forums and I´m quite overwhelmed by the sheer amount of "best ever cans" out there. I own a pair of HD 555´s since 2007 and they are OK I guess. I found out about the 595 mod yesterday and did it straight away, they do sound really different now. I use them for gaming/music on the computer and to listen to music off my little Sansa Clip+ (Rockboxed), better player will have to wait.
I´m planning to buy a pair of Grados (love the looks) but the economy is not that great atm. I listen to a wide range of music from Damien Rice to classic Metallica, the usual Dre and so on (but no reggaeton!!!).
I´m located in Spain so Grado prices are not that great, well at least not as expensive as in the UK, cheapest I found for the SR:
SR60i = 79 € + 9 € shipping / 112 $
SR80i = 99 € + 9 € shipping / 137 $
SR125i = 150 € + 15 € mini plug + 9 € shipping / 221 $
SR225i = 199 € + 15 € mini plug (free shipping) / 272 $
Alessandro Ms-1s with mini plug 2009 version = 109.99 $ (free shipping?) / 86 €
I´m open to recommendations or advice on any other brands.
Thanks for your help and sorry about the big a** explanation.
