I've been away from Head-Fi for quite a while, just having come back into the fold a few weeks ago. All of that time I've been very happy with my current home rig - CIAudio VDA-1 DAC + Meier-Audio Corda Headfive SS amp + Senn HD650s. Go figure. Then, like an IDIOT, I started lurking here again because I'd lost my ER-4Ps and was researching replacement options. I bought the HF5 for portable use but of course couldn't leave well enough alone with my desktop rig. I ended up scoring a used pair of SR225i's this week and now here I am, falling in love with the Grado sound all over again...
DAMN YOU HEAD-FI!!!!
So now I'm thinking about shaking things up even more and getting a new amp for the Grados. I'm mostly interested in exploring the possibility of going Millet hybrid but have ZERO DIY skills, so I'm looking for a commercially available Millet that might give me more joy than the Headfive with the SR225i. Here's the kicker - I'd like to keep my budget at $200 or less. Advice? Recommendations? Horror stories? Psychological analysis? All are welcomed. Lay it on me and I'll buy you a virtual beer.
