Yeah probably should have looked into that earlier. 240DF's just got them about to listen..

First impression: I like them, more then LP and MP sextett I believe.

Fosterphone SFI potential? Depending on the size of the bottom with a creative mount it could be interesting. Did waulta have any luck with the Colby headphone? I have just about given up on it... too shallow.

YHD-2s went for around $90 on an auction site. Sounds pretty fair to me. Would still like to see lower prices.

Hmm Id say its rather high.....condisering that it will most definately need mods (and considering recent prices)

Does anyone know of a hard case that fits the YH1? I wonder if the hard cases on ebay meant for Grados will fit the YH1...

Wow, what's that white stuff?

 

[dBel84]

believe it or not - white silicon caulk and just shodily smeared on - shocking that these things sounds so phenomenal

Did you know it would work? I would have been a bit worried

 

[dBel84]

That was from original manufacture - I merely got it all working again ..dB

One of these days I'd like to have an ID2 or the "Leak 3000" equivalent.

If only for the styling.

 

[dBel84]

that day may be sooner than you think then

Ericj inspired a rare photo op

the surprising thing is how different they sound - similar in some ways but distinct in others. The primary differences are in the damping. The Wharfedales use a single solid block of felt and a coated screen on the front, the Leak use 2 felt pads and the front baffle has an oval foam pad as well as a thinner screen.

The drivers are similar in design but not identical..dB
