Headphones? Anyone?

Thanks all, this is not quite the ghost town it was a while back.
Not planning on dumping the Grados, but planned to get something new to try for a change. Just didnt think I would need them so soon. My first were Senn 414s, my first paycheck, first job about 1975! Haven't listened to phones that much through the years.
Definition of frustration: listening to several phone at Sam Ash, all playing from the same source simultaneously, all sounding the same. Useless.
Well, I pulled the trigger on a set that was the last brand I expected -KRK KNS-8400. Found them so cheap I will still be looking to try others. Decided to try recent closed backs.
The ATH's are beautiful, MS2s a little out of budget (what about the MS1?)... had already searched the Fischers and could not find a seller. Considered Beyer, AKGs, Senns, HifiMan, Shure... just too much to sift through. Turns out 1/2 price helps!
Thanks for the tips on my Grados and the recommendations.
Might post quick impressionson the KRKs here.

I'm listening to Jethro Tull "Benefit" on some audio-technica ATH-A700s I picked up used locally on Craig's List as I write. I have enjoyed them to compare with my KRK KNS 8400s. Both are pretty nice sounding, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. But now I feel it is time for something a little different or maybe less mainstream.
Perhaps modified Grado sound from Alessandro. Or the German Maestro GMP 8.35d? Or the Mad Dog modified Fostex orthodynamic phones seem very intriguing.
Then what about tube rolling for my Little Dot...
This has definitely been worth the effort, enjoying phones for the first time in many years. Music hobby while sitting at my desk.

Just picked up a mint (less than 50 hrs) set of AKG K702 phones from a freind. Guy started at $175 and kept dropping. When he got too low I had to bite! Listening to "I am Shelby Lynn", and I am loving them!
Four cans I have bagged go for $560 (street price not MSRP), I have a total of $255 in them. Been lucky and having big fun!
Just switched to Brandi Carlile "The Story", never sounded this good on other cans or speakers. Apparently although these things are very detailed and natural, they are somehow forgiving of less than stellar recordings. Happy.

The other new addition is a the Monoprice 8323, available for $28. Amazingly good cheapies, these will be my portable knock-arounds. Happy

When I started getting back into headphones I was worried that I would be disappointed. Well, turns out I'm not!
I have found great pleasure with all of my phones.

My most recent addition is a portable amp. Having come across different amps on "that auction site", and with a little research, I decided to try a cheapie Cmoy. The one I chose was super basic and cheap, but uses a Burr Brown 2227 opamp chip, Nichicon caps and an Alps pot. Built into an Altoid type mint tin that looks like a Ouija board, very, very cute. $37 delivered, including a 9v battery! I love the thing, drives any of my phones with ease, sounds great.
And did I mention it was only $37?

I know I tend to get into the questionable opinion area when I start talking about Cmoys and t-amps, but regardless of how cheap these things are, I have been really enjoying the sounds they make.
