This should end amp upgraditis....

Yup, I did it. Decided I needed to move up in the head-fi world, so I picked up THE ultimate headphone amplifier for Grado's. The Melos SHA-Gold Reference - fully modded by Melos Audio Restoration. The only thing left to do is Maestrobate it (I'll get around to that when I have the cash).

I'll post a full impressions thread when it arrives!

Haha true, true. After I Maestrobate it, hopefully that's it for dynamic single ended amps.

I have decided I can be happy with 3 rigs and 3 rigs only:

RS-1 and Melos
L3000 and SDS XLR
Stax Omega II and Singlepower ES2

That should cover all genres nicely. At least I'm done with the RS-1 rig now. Wonder how long it's going to take to save up for all three

As for the cost, about $900. Very good deal, all things considered.

That's gonna set you back quite a bit...

I just can't get with Grados man. They work for some but I get a headache. Darth Beyer's ftw.

nice friggin setup tho.

Getting a synergistic amp might be able to tame those highs. I was just doing some extra-cautious listening today, and I know that my Onkyo TX-37 has a warmer, darker sound (although the bass is a bit too boomy for me).
