Cool to see iRacers on here, of all places!  I mostly race road, and I'm still class D as well-I've spent too much time buying new cars and tracks and not enough time getting proficient with one specific combination.

. Too much time making custom paints, not enough time actually racing it would seem.

Hey Twinster, it actually sounds really good, no joke. At first I was a bit afraid about the harsh highs and lack of bass, but turns out it sounds really good and really comfortable as well. I did the turn up the volume a bit compared to L cush pads to balance it out, also a slight EQ tweak on foobar and it sounds perfect now.

SR-325 with Jumbo pad??? How's the high with them? (Nice picture by the way)

Humm! Ok I have to try it with my Wooden MS2i. I had the SR-325 before but they were recabled with Headphile Silver and find them to hot. Does it improve the stage by a lot?

+1. That's my favorite Grado picture I've ever seen. They look gorgeous. 
 


 
 

 
+1.  It's nice to see the 325 photographed not so brassy.  This picture makes me want to see one again.  I heard one with stock pads, liked it, decided it wasn't worth the store's price.

Incredible picture of the Grado on a WooAudio stand. Now I want one. The Grado that is.

yup, soundstage is night and day difference, especially with the warm tube sound, sounds incredible.

yeah i have to agree, the price is a bit steep but its even more drastic in Canada. Grados here are wayyy overpriced... and we can't buy it online from US dealers because Grado's policy won't allow international sales. Thank god theres Head Fi

Just some pictures to complete my semi-portable mid-fi station.
 
Portable? Check. Sexy? Check. Does it rock? Hell yeah!

 
This leaves me some time for the next serious home upgrade (T1 + tube amp).



 Man I've owned the Pro 750 twice now. If I can get past the slight comfort issue I have with the Pro line cans I'd like to just get the Pro 900 and never upgrade again. lol
 
I don't think I'll ever want to get back into the hi-fi section of this hobby again. It's brutal.

My humble Luxman L-5 amp with my much loved Audeze LCD-2s. They normally live in their box and I am building a stand for them. Not pictured is a Mac Mini with a SSD and external HDD full of FLAC which I use as my primary source. I still need to buy a DAC and do away with the CD player but that is all in the pipeline at the moment. I also have a listening chair and reading light just out of the photo which I use for headphone listening :)

Pictured: Luxman L-5 Amplifier, Thorens TD-160 MKII with a RB300 tonearm and Monster Cable Alpha 1 MC cart, LEAK 2060 speaker (the other one is on the other side of the room), Audile Enterprises Australia Phono Stage, Marantz CD-63 Mk II and chillin' on the top my Audeze LCD-2s. Although it is worth noting I normally listen to my vinyl rig through speakers.
