    How does it sound? Especially in comparison to some modern planars?

    Its truly incredible that they don't look any different inside than from one from the 1950s, Also remind me to get new pads for them~ Beautiful~

    Yamaha HP-1 Anistropic Cant believe I bought the entire headphone on a whim since it had its cable cut off, otherwise even the headband is still is good condition and not cracked

    Interesting! I only know of the Koss Pro/450 that also has them but it's the earpds that move too. Doesn't work btw

    Also does anyone have any advice to rotate the drivers on the SA5000 off? No matter how much or which direction, the drivers just won't budge or twist SA3000 for comparison Unfortunately the baffles are different but other than that and the extra layer of black felt on the SA5000, same driver

    The ATH-W1000Z, I think this was the first time I was actually taken back by a construction of a headphone Standard audio-technica construction so far, the generous foam ring actually make them very comfy The rarely seen other side of the wooden cups. No coating or varnish at all. It's a...

    Pretty much agreed, a similar thing goes for the original Lambda. The original Lambda is just, so well done that everything seems to be tuned perfectly. It's a shame the glue is gone in mine... Still squeals when first charged on pro bias, as much as I got the dust out as I could. Amazing...

    It's definitely something they do, especially for the wooden models but I also imagine there would be some tuning at the very least. These despite all the good stuff they do, really do sound cavernous and almost echoey which for me pretty much ruins them. It's a big shame because the mids and...

    Audio-Technica, again you dissapoint with your lack of dampening... ATH-A100Ti At first glass the driver looks dissapointing, especially for how much these sold for and that a lot of audio-technica's even then had metal fron baffles. But the entire baffle plate isn't plastic, it's fibreglass...

    How do they compare to the lambda signature? Looking at the construction, this is entirely Pioneer made. The driver design with the support is actually more in common with Koss than Stax designs. Stax did A LOT of OEMs and not just the Micro Seiki or SR-3 OEMs but this doesn't have a single...

    Stax SR-X1 (new entry model)

    Gamma and SR-5N do sound different but they also have very different pads as well. The Gamma is actually more like a superaural and my ears hurt wearing them~. But yeah, I think for that driver type, the housing really makes a big difference and the sr-x Mk3 has become one of my most favourite...
