I have a friend who has DT48s that were made in the 50's and they still sound amazing.

You should come round to my place sometime and listen to my DT880/600 '03s and see what you think

DT48 easily.

I'm a fan of the listen while you burn in camp. It seems senseless to not listen to new headphones.

+1 for DT48. Easily the most durable headphones I've ever seen.

I'd also be keen for a cheap pair of K702s

DT-48S with the K701 not far behind

I listened to Colgateam's DT48S with the E pads and headband and I was simply blown away by how natural they sound. Though it turned out they werent as much more resolving than my 701s as I thought they'd be.

I would say the difference would be very noticeable.

I shall look forward to hearing how it does with my K701 at the meet. how do they compare to something like the heed canamp? which are like ~700 on trademe

They had either the SHX1 or the SHX2 (it was a Perrraux headphone amp of some kind at any rate) at the store I got my 701s from here in Wellington. They wanted $1000 for it new though. What did your one set you back? Also I may have got one of my friends interested in the meet

Christchurch would be easier to get to than Auckland for me so its fine with me. Should be able to bring my K701s, K340s and DT880 03s (hopefully with 600ohm drivers by then).

From the phones I've heard the K701 though the 880 250ohms weren't bad
