Show us your vintage headphones!
I just picked up a pair of Stanton Dynaphase Sixty's brand new in the box from good ol' eBay! Still waiting for them to get to my door, but I'm excited to own a mint 60 and see all it came packed with. I'll keep these just like they are, No modding for these.- GrandZechs

Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners
So I have a chance to of Bic Venturi Formula 6 Speakers locally for $100. Anyone have any experience with these? http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/96020-bic_venturi_formula_six/ Link for reference. Only issue with the ones for sell is the dustcaps are pushed in on the woofers. -
