I bought a pair of Grado SR60's for my 13 year old as an upgrade from his $20 Maxell's. I was prepared to go up from there, and even considered a pair of 125's to "share". Todd said "Go with the 60's, they will be the best headphones he has ever heard. Get the nicer 125s for YOU if you like" He also recommended simple priority mail which made it to Arkansas from Montana in 2 or 3 days! I thought, here is a voice of experience, conscious of my pocketbook, he is absolutely right, and I am glad to have the recommendation. I bought my own turntable setup, my tube amps, interconnects, speakers, rack and accessories, based on a long distance dealer recommendation, and had never listened to to any of it before it arrived. I know that sounds crazy but you can do it if you have a good relationship with a dealer you trust. (Thanks now-defunct Vinyl Valet!) If you don't already have your turntable and cartridge set up, Todd may very well be your guy.
