I was just at a meet this past weekend in Seattle and a Head-fier whose name I never got showed up with a pristine pair of ATH-706 cans and amplifier, in its original box and with "just printed yesterday" quality user brochures.  But I simply couldn't bring myself to listen to them because I knew the small pads, barely covering one's ear, were going to leak alot of the headphone sound and ruin the ambience in the room, as I tend to play pretty loudly compared to the rest of ya'lls.  If I get a chance to be alone in a room with them...I'll write back. 
 
BTW, how much do they go for?  I saw very few posts about them on Head-fi, with a pristine pair going up for sale back in 2009 (which I think may be the one I saw).

This morning I was awoken by a loud knock on the door and immediately jumped out of bed knowing what was in store. I have been looking at receivers for a while now and finally something came along that spoke to me. The price, condition, history and seller lined up, so I quickly pulled on it.
 
Cosmetically there is only 1 small blemish on the front left bottom, but only someone inspecting this would barely be able to catch it. With that said, the HK730 sounds great! Of course, this is only going off of the first 2 songs I found on the tuner (Bob FM). The first song was Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55," which had me rockin' out (HE-5LE via 1/4in) in the kitchen in my boxers. The second song was "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner which was just as rockin'. Really happy with my purchase so far. Here is a cell phone pic for added entertainment

I have been thinking my SX-1250 was needing a service, but it was the stupid multipath

 

[lwrs10]

I have a garage full of old receivers. Right now on a normal basis I use:
 
Pioneer SX-1250
Pioneer SX-1280
Pioneer SX-1980
Sansui G9000DB
Sansui 9090 non-db
Yamaha CR-2020
Marantz 2270
Marantz 2330
 
 
This is not including my seperates I have. My main system consist of Yamaha M-80's, Onkyo Grand Integra preamp, etc. 
 
I have wayyy to much **** laying around. I also have over 100 pairs of headphones. And it all started with Head-fi in 2007 when I joined. By recommendation I bought some Grado SR325i's. And still love them. But the family has grown.  I blame you guys....
