I have a pair of Grado RS2i's, which I really like. You can get a set used in the $300 range. The PS500 seems to be popular because it's a bit less bright than the Grado house sound, but you might not be able to get a used pair. The 225 seems to be the sweet spot in the prestige series. If it was me, I would send the 60's in for repair and then wrap some scotch tape around the outside of the bowl. It tightens up the bass. Another good deal these days is the Shure 1440. If you put a few extra pairs of the Shure foams into each ear cup it is said to bring the 1440 very close to the 1840. Lush midrange, lower treble to die for, but not real basshead cans.
Headphones? Anyone?
First, please don't tell me about head fi. My problem is not a lack of info, it's too much. Just want quick recommendations from anyone here. Every time I think I found "it", there's one more opinion to throw a wrench into the works!
Just received my Little Dot mkIII, only to find that my good old Grado 60s have a problem. No bass from one channel. Not the amp, it works fine with other cheap phones I have. Sounds great as a preamp too.
$100 to $250 please, didnt know I would need to replace so soon....thanks.
