When my one was still in one pieace, I loved the sound. It sounded like a fuller, wide, more detailed DT48. I actually brought another one~ Waiting for it to be delivered and maybe I can give some proper impressions.8 OHMs? Hmm...how do they sound? Looking good
Great, please do!
Do you have an opportunity to make measurements of Elega?
No unfortunately, I hope to do so once I get the new one.
Not what I'd call a vintage, but still easily one of my most favourite headphones.Sony MDR-SA3000
Sennheiser HD8xx ancestor...
Service manual shows that SA3000 & SA5000 share the same driver (Part No. 1-542-603-11)
I had the 64, didn't have the overall presentation of the mdr-62 though. On for an MDR-84 and/or MDR-94, especially the 94.What a thread!
I have several, start with the Sony walkman '90s collection, herey there are the Mdr-64, 54 and 44. Some days after the pic, also a Mdr-34 arrived at home. All are very good sounding, especially the 64, special mention for the cheap 34, and a bit disappointing the 54 for a tad too much highs, still good nevertheless. I'm in search for older models like the mdr40, 51 and 62, but they seem rare and (don't) sell for crazy prices.
The 40 is great but with recessed bass, the 51 has a greater soundstage. Do you have any corresponding Aiwa stuff?
They are and there's a reason. The totl ones are really hidden gems in plain sight. I have an MDR-M88 for example, that one sounds mind blowing. Or the Aiwa HP-X10...these buddies can compete with anything today and there's a fair chance that they win.
No Aiwa here unfortunately! So does the 62 sound better than the 64?I had the 64, didn't have the overall presentation of the mdr-62 though. On for an MDR-84 and/or MDR-94, especially the 94.
