I never thought this day would come, but a Devil whispered in my ear to try Arya v2’s, and as much as I love the Era-1’s for their smoothness, resolution and slam, the Aryas turned out to be even more to my liking for their clarity and soundstage, especially for classical music and jazz, which I listen to. Alas the Arya's cost twice as much as the Era-1's...
I had two pairs of Era-1’s and sold my backup pair first, holding on to the primary pair just in case my ears change their mind.
... then my beloved saw the PayPal bill, and so I am now offering for sale my second pair of Quad Era-1’s. These were my daily evening session headphones at home over the past year. So, even though I am not the first owner, I can vouch that these work perfectly, and sound wonderful.
The headphones are in great shape cosmetically as well. Everything is very clean, and barely shows signs of use. I am very fastidious about my headphones.
Here are the disclosures: The box is in rough shape. The paper flap has been detached (it is still included), and the cardboard box originally containing the velour pads is missing (as are those pads). Brand new OEM Quad fenestrated angled pads are included (these are mounted on the headphones in the pics). Two more pairs of new aftermarket genuine sheepskin pads (on mounting rings!) are included: one angled pair and one not. [For my listening I used ZMF oval lambskin pads, which I am keeping]. Original cables are also not included (I am including an aftermarket cable that I used).
Price is firm, at a bargain of USD$425 shipped within USA. I cannot ship these internationally.
