Prepare to feel old - really old ...   http://www.stereophile.com/content/grado-hp-1-headphones   Other than the odd review from Wes Philips, Stereophile havent spent a lot of time exploring the headphone world - obviously, that all changed with the establishment of Inner Fidelity, but...

I just got a good listen on these headphones at a friends and thought I'd share my quick thoughts just in case anyone is interested in a vintage pair of ortho headphones. I did this listening while going back and forth between the YH-1 and my HE-500s. I've heard of these going for $60, but I...

I'm currently on my way to recabling two orthos I've had for quite some time now a pair of Yamaha HP-1's and YH-2's I'm planning on going with the Neutrik NC4MXX XLR-4 and using Mogami W2893 as the wire to run but I'm stuck on the options of what to use at the split to the phones themselves...

Does anyone have any information regarding the new portable tube amp hp-v1 coming soon from fostex? Is it gonna be better then what's out there now? Is it worth waiting for or do you have any other suggestions for best sounding portable amp/dac for an iPhone? I have been looking at fostex hp-p1...

Over the past year I've discovered the world of high end headphones and since then I have developed an audio fetish. I started my journey trying to find the best headphones for me, but I always seemed to be disappointed. I tried countless of different headphones, everything from Sennheiser...

In the fall of 2004 I declared my commitment to study the development, if any, of Yamaha's old line of Orthodynamic headphones, which used a driver type known generically as isodynamic, small-O orthodynamic, planar-magnetic, or magnetostatic. Why?  1) they'd been virtually extinct for 20 years...

Hello, Sometimes, i'm lucky, i've found a HP-1, it sounds great of course, but it's incomplete, no headband....   So, if someone have any dimensions.....   Of course, i can build my own, in leather for example, but would prefer have the exact dimension !   If i found that can...

I put all of them in the poll, but for me I'm more interested about how people place the ps1000 vs ps1/hp2. I've done some searches but couldn't find a poll that was recent.   Price is not relevant - judge entirely on sound -

ok, has anyone here heard of the yamaha hp-1's? these are my dad's old cans from way back when, id say at least 15-20 years old. anyway, they're open, full size cans, and they sound GREAT. a very detailed, intricate sound, though they need serious amplification. anyway, i was just wondering if...

These are from the early 80s , apparently won awards and were much liked at the time. My reason for ordering them is their Planar drivers as I have some interest in this transducer technology. Anybody here heard them? I will post comments when I receive them. Setmenu

I have had a pair of these lying in the closet for some time but I've never tried them actually. I don't know very much about them except that they are from the 70s and many think they are quite good (on another forum someone said in 99 that he had heard hp's in the range of $8000 (!) and he...
