For Sale:
Alessando MS-1 with shorter cable (in Canada) - SOLD [thx head-fi]
Will Ship To: Canada
Overall, the headphones are in excellent condition and come with the pizza box. The flat pads are barely used because I preferred 414 pads and all lettering is intact. They were bought 2 years ago but they have never been my main headphone.
The MS-1 have been made more stealthy and portable through the following cosmetic changes:
1) The cable has been shortened to 1m (3') by reterminating the cable with a standard, gold-plated 3.5 mm plug.
2) The metal bars (aka antennas) have been shortened to ~4 cm (1.5"). I always use the smallest setting and found the antennas to look silly like that. Because they are smaller these headphones will not work for someone who requires the full length of the bars, but I have found that most people can still use these with the shortened bars.
3) The metal backing on the drivers was coloured black with a sharpie. This is purely cosmetic and just reduces the glare coming from within the headphones.
Because the headphones are in excellent condition and I feel that these modifications improve on the headphones (at least for some people), I'm asking $80 + shipping.
I will also consider trades for a DAC
