i want to know if the 20 step up is worth it i cant get a clear sense with just stats.

please help me out, buying my first pair of headphones,

i tried my dads old SR-60s (idk if its the same as the "i")

(i if it applies) i listen to mostly jam and live music (audience recordings, or soundboard) but i like techno (bass) and good mids

do these work out, or better low cost choice?

the MS1 is a decent can...i dont think it would be my choice for techo though...but for jazz and rock its a great starter grado.

However, it does get alot better from the SR225 and up...ive had the SR60, SR125, SR225, HF1 and now the RS1..and im pretty happy almost to the top of the grado line...

What is good for techno? cause i was looking at sealed ones too (birthday coming up). i do listen to plenty of jazz and studio rock though so i should be fine to get it and it be worth it.

do MS-1s need a supplimental amp, cause i know they arent as good as a desktop amps but i was just going to get a soundcard (cheaper)

The MS-1's sound fine unamped but scale very well with amplification. I owned SR 125's and 225's and to me they were not a significant upgrade. The SR-325/MS-2 has a different enough sound signature to be considered an upgrade/additional can as does the RS-1/MS-Pro.

According to this, HD600 is easier to drive by portable device than SR60i because it draws less current and variations in FR is less severe.

I didn't know this before :o

That's if your amp swings enough voltage for the Senns, which, judging by sound, most portable devices don't. I hate it when my wonderful colleagues in the media do stuff like that.
