That's heavy, man...
This topic might be discussed in this thread before... I don't want to remodel (dumping etc..) my collected old headphone as much as possible. I clean my old cans and just repair the broken parts. Many of them had been made dirty with smoking and dust. The number of old headphones with good conditions has been decreased day by day. I'm afraid that the next generation people wouldn't be able to understand what are the original shapes and original sounds of remodeled old headphones.
What exactly is it they need to take notes on?
The weight?
Btw, many happy returns of the day to our resident ortho ninja, Kabeer!!
This little side discussion reminds me of the situation of one of my favorite cars, the 1936 Cord 810. Like many of the old ortho 'phones, the Cords weren't really finished when they left the line. The transmissions were a particular sore point. So now it's 74 years later. Do you push the car onto a plinth, stick a label in front and step back and admire it (which would be fine-- I visit the Cord 812 at the Gilmore museum regularly and light a votive candle), or do you want to be like Jay Leno and take it out on the highway to see what its designers intended for it? That last bit-- the intent of the designers-- is the important one. I think they'd want their work finished and for the 'phones to sound as good as they were meant to. Don't you?
In any case, all of the basic mods are reversible, so the question is, if not moot, at least partly mooty.
