Need some recommendations for gd Swing/Jazz albums and where to get them..thx..

I got it for 2wks, and the best sound output is via the XLR.

any recommended place to get it and the exact price?

getting a CDP soon ler

so is $250 fixed or neg?

How much u bought for your Benchmark DAC1? $1.8k from Aural designs in adelphi

A lot of Zard songs rocks

IMHO, grados produce thumping bass (like a heart beat) tight and accurate, almost non-existant soundstage (seems like the singer is in front of you) and bright (some people may not like it). It's a fun headphone to have especially when listening to rock, pop etc. Directly opposite to grado is sennheisers - layback and relaxing which a lot of people will say it's boring.. Everyone has different taste, better to audition to find out which kind of cans you prefer.. my 2 cents

Foobar2000 just hookup my EMU0404 to benchmark DAC1..awesome is the word..

How old is ur 595??

Zard's songs have very catchy and uptempo beats, they have slow songs also, but it's her fast pieces that i love. Can nvr grow tired of her voice..hehe I have the long black box version of their greatest hit . I also feel awkward listening to only one of them singing. like something is missing from the song leh

when is the stock coming?

Zard or Izumi Sakai is still my all time fav Jap singer, followed by chage n aska and ELT

I am using the SR225 with my ipod mini, the thick cables can get irritating after a while, but you will get used to it. I just chunk everyting into my bag

it's worth the $$$, i upgraded from 80 to 225 2 mths ago n hven regretted it since..

A pity Headsave is no longer in operation. yup..sad that headsave is closed..norm makes gd amps..

I have A2, Prodigy and EMU0404 all in my rig, coexisting peacefully.. Well actually prodigy have some stuttering once in a while which maybe due to PCI bus utilization, but I guess it's because I have a lot of PCI devices A little tweak solved the problem..hehe

Grado headphones shld be easy to drive mah, seldom see people complain about it with portables. I bought a headsave go-vibe from www.headsave.com . Total cost inc shipping is around S$130. Now connecting my ipod mini line-out to the headamp and to my SR225..

The gold colour very 'attract attention' xiah, if I go out with it in town I think every1 will be staring at it (even the normal Grados I have pple looking ) btw is it on sale at MBD?? if so how much?

SR80 to SR225 is a good upgrade (bad for the wallet thou ) Speaking from personal experience, but now came out a gold version SR325i, which reviews say is better than the old SR325.

it's $350, just bought 1 2 days ago..an upgrade from SR80

can't wait for the final product..i need one to drive my grado..hee
