Orthodynamic Roundup - Page 1007

I just realised that the 4 orthos that I have come to really love have very different driver design.

Fostex T50RP, Audeze LCD-2, Wharfedale ID1 and the Yammy Yh-1000. The real standouts even in this group are the ID1 and the LCD-2. 

I just scored a pair of Sansui SS-100s today.  They are in almost perfect condition and sound very good....

Gotta listen more...

Picture?

I will try and remember to take some pics tonight.  Meanwhile, where have these things been all my life? 
 

Nice Kevin....the portland meet is shaping up nicely. Been wanting to listen to the Sansui for ever actually.

Not having ever seen one IRL I think those maybe the ultimate expression of the early 80s ortho design. 

They just look the part of a great headphone and I've assumed the sound matches.

Nice score.

Thanks, I can't imagine any company making a nicer or better executed orthos in that day.  Right now I am listening to them through the Mini-Watt N3 w/ Mini-Watt headphone Adapter.  The sound has to be heard to be believed!  I would bet that nobody realized back in that day how good these headphone were capable of sounding.

... what we have been thinking for a few hundred pages here enjoying our vintage orthos....

Thank you so much for your generous offer!  I was beginning to worry about what I was going to do with them...  NOT! 

Impressive looking toys! Congrats. Please let us know how's the sound. TIA.
