These are exactly the same as mine so yes I would say stock 325s.

The benefits of a recable of these are huge!

Well at least with the S2 recable the music sounds like it is coming through a larger pipe. More space. I guess this equates to soundstage but it is more than that. It's instrument separation and air around them. Before they sounded more 'congested'. I'm not even using that brilliant of an amp with them!

Bass has more definition as well and the highs aren't harsh at all, and also not dull. Do i sound like a fan?

Unfortunately yes...but with an HDAM in the DAC it doesn't sound too bad. Looking to upgrade asap!

Sorry, I know this thread is old. But worth keeping IMO.
 
I wonder how old my Black SR325s are?

I apologize for reviving an old appreciation thread. I just wanted to show my appreciation for the sr200 non hp-1000 that I picked up two weeks ago and can't stop listening to it.

But it's hard to find info and impression for such old vintage phones, especially the non-hp1000 model. An old post's impression said sounded like "mini hp1000" and i read elsewhere that it reminded them of vintage rs1. Any experienced listeners care to chime in?
