I own Seinheiser 580 and have listened to the 600 (which are much better than the 580). I do not have any experience with the Grado. As to a headphone amp, either headroom amps or melos tube. I really like tubes with headphones. However, I would recommend something a little different. Stax headphones, preferably with the tube option. On the used market you can find them near what you would spend on the 600s and a good amp. I recently bought a pair of Lambdas with the solid state amp for $450. If you plan to do a lot of listening with headphones, the Stax are really the most enjoyable over a long period of time. Great clarity and detail and not so "headphone" sounding. One thing to keep in mind they are "free air" headphones--so others in your vacinity will hear some music from them.
Headphones
I have been doing some research via the Web on headphones. From what I have found, the Sennheiser HD600's and Grado RS series is the level I am looking for.
I would like comments from others that have also investigated these and others. I have had no success at finding them locally so I can try them for myself.
I am also interested in a headphone amp, so I would appreciate advice on those as well.
Lastly, I am also interested in the following combo, AKG K1000 headphones and the SAC K1000 amplifier. Has anyone had any experience with these?
