Rameish 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I noticed that there have been quite a few cans being bought recently that are models from yesteryear. Hopefully we can compile a guide to them and give an impression of their sound. This will help sgheadphone members who may wish to collect such headphones which, because of their obsolete nature, tend to fetch lower than original prices. Some interesting headphones: AKG 340 Sennheiser HD-530 MkII Beyer DT-431 Grado HP-1 I will be posting my impressions on the Grado HP-1 and Senn HD-530II when I have the time. Please do give comparisons to more modern day headphones where possible. Let the hunt for vintage gear begin: As always, Happy Listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Rameish, perhaps you can give my DT431 a go during the meet, and post your impression after that. Or anyone else out there who has a 431? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Can we get further clarification on what would be classified as 'Vintage'. So that everyone works on the same line as each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kank_39 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Hi, Just thought I might ressurect this thread. Although I'm no audiophile, I'm thinking of starting a vintage cans collection (I'm a huge collector freak). Does anyone know if there's a market in "still working" vintage cans? I've scanned eBay and they go for pretty affordable prices. If i could get them locally instead of importing trhem, it'll be great. So do you guys know anywhere where i can start my hunt? Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2005 (edited) How's this thread coming along? No one's got vintage gear? I have a friend who's got the Senn HD414 original. Does the reproduction version constitutes as vintage? This is THE phone that got senns started big. ATH-W10TG vintage too? It's model name is well, "Vintage" Edited April 10, 2005 by idkfa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
