After lots of talk, it's great to settle back into this thread with a truly great headphone and speaker setup.

Every time I see a Marantz....
 
I need to get me one of those just for the visual wow factor.

So you're one of the few HP1000 owners, nice setup, by the way.
 

 
Fortunately, yes! So are you apparently, in overkill mode with 2 pairs

This one has all the lamps changed to LEDs, so the blue is very BLUE. Some don't like the look, but I prefer it to the vintage blue-green of the original.

I've lost count of the times I've almost pulled the trigger on a bit or old Marantz kit, but I can never justify it from a practical standpoint.

I took apart my Minimus 7's earlier, the modding process has begun.
My dad and I are going to Frys tomorrow to get better capacitors, some Dynamat (dampen inside of speaker box, and for later use on Grados, and hopefully, T50RP's) hopefully, and Damar varnish to dope the sub. Any other suggestions for modding?

I've heard upgrading/redesigning the crossover can have a tremendous effect on their SQ
 
I may try it with mine someday if I don't give them away first....

It's super easy to get them apart. I'm guessing it won't be too hard to solder on a new capacitor. (my dad has a masters as an electrical engineer, go figure)
