Im OVERJOYED!!! After rockin out to basshead cans regularly since 2001, I've got a pair of NOS SR-40s coming my way!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5771656595

Since they are discontinued and therefore somewhat rare, should I even consider a star-quad cable mod?

Cant wait to hear the Iron Maiden, Queensryche and Dreamtheater on these guys. I like my KSC75... but its a bit sloppy sounding at times.

Life is good...

Yeah, I saw those shortly after they were listed. If I didnt just buy a new pair of canalphones, those would have been mine

Keep them as a collectors item and buy a set of sr-60s. You'll enjoy better sound and have a rare set of grados in mint condition.

A good point. Things are basically split 50/50, I say open them! Collector's item? Who the heck collects these things? They belong on your head!

I wouldn't open it and get some SR-60's like PsychoZX said.

If you can wait a little more the *NEW* SR-40 streetstyles (right?) will come out.
