I know others got some really great deals on theirs.. But 100 isn't too bad from what I read about them.. Will compare to my DT48 models..

Dclancy

I just couldn't contain myself! Had to tell some folks who'd understand, but I'm in aural nirvana right now with these cans on.
Just received the Apogee mini-dac in the mail today, I'm not even using an external amp, just the so-so hp jack, and all I can say i wow. Voices and instruments more defined, no longer small and unrefined. Greater separation. The sometimes peaky highs (cymbals and such) are more nuetral. Well, that last one was a cool feature, a smashing hat always sounded like it came from outer space, almost distractingly so.
Listening to Jenny Lewis Acid Tongue is pure joy. Gonna shut up and listen now, had to brag.

They look like the DT150.. They are from 1972.. They have a detachable cable, so I will be upgrading if I like the sound.

Hehehe...did you try the K701 with the Apogee??

 

[kool bubba ice]

No, only the DAC1 & hated the synergy..

 

[DefectiveAudioComponent]

So it's 200 ohms? Hard to drive?

 

[kool bubba ice]

Don't know.

Kool bubba ice was the DT480 you bought from ebay for $125USD?

 

[kool bubba ice]

I got it for 100.00. Includes original box, which I'm happy about.

Congrats! Really looking forward to a comparison to the DT-48 models. Will this be another vintage Beyer to put on my eBay search-list?

 

[kool bubba ice]

Man, I really hope so. From Dclancys pov, they scale very well with better amping.. And has a nice 'suction' fit on your ears creating a air tight seal, which creates a dead space. Just para phrasing.

These headphones really seem to be ultra rare.. I'd be very surprised to see another one on Ebay.. Only me and two other head fiers seem to have one.

I bet the seller's happy he finally sold it. It's been listed since January.
