Got to link me...

EDIT: nvm...found them http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs-allessandro-ms2i-389991/

I would get a nice amp to go with the MS2's, even if they are easy to drive. I'm sure we can talk about that more :-). I posted on head-fi as well. We can leave the discussion about the 770's there.

As for the MS2's, $250 is a decent price, but bear in mind they come new at $300. And the guy is shipping to you from Canada (shipping cost), and I would not put much value to the recabling since its arguable that it makes a difference. If you can haggle him down closer to $200, I'd do it.

225's are also very nice. I can spot differences in them and the MS2's, but then again I have a pretty nice equipment setup. I would say go for the 225's, 325i's, or the MS2/MS2i's. Try that sound, see if you like them.

Yeah, I wonder about all those recabling mods. We always have those speaker wire discussions here and we end up (mostly) that home depot wire is fine. I have to imagine that can wiring is similar.

Good input.

They've banned discussions on double blind cable testing on Head-fi...for good reason.

When you're at the point where you have 5 of the highest-end headphones, have the nicest source, and have the nicest amp and STILL don't know what to do with your money, then it's time to buy nice cables.

Yea, then again reading your post on Head-fi the Rotel might be a perfect amp for you...since you already have a nice setup. If anything, all you'd need is a nicer headphone amp since you have your preamps/sources/dac's made.

Just thought I'd share that I'm warming myself over my tube amp, looking at the nice "warm orange" glow they are emitting, and thinking warm thoughts.

It is SO cold here in Indiana.

I agree. When turning on my Sophia, I forgot how cool the tube glow was. My ASL's have tube cages so I can barely see them.

That glow ALWAYS makes me want to buy one of those nixie tube clocks. If only it didn't consume so much power...

And I just sprinted .5 miles on well-lit campus sidewalks in nothing but a speedo and shoes and made $16.

I wouldn't pay that much for the MS2s. If you look here these guys will make a deal on brand new sets.

Oh I almost forgot, try the Rotel with the Grados before spending $$$$ on a separate headphone amp.
