Man thanks for uploading the pictures! They are gorgeous!
Hey Sanderman, how you like them compared to your PS1000?

Thanks...Nice pics.

 

[vcoheda]

sweet. one day (maybe).

 

[davidhunternyc]

Yes, those pictures are stunning. From what I understand, the earlier bass light R-10, came with a case that had white contrast stitching on it. Later, the bass heavy version came with a case that had black stitching. Is this true? In any case, the King of Headphones still reigns supreme. I'm going to cry like a bitch here; why can't anyone make headphones like these anymore!? Uuugh! O.K., O.K., I just had to get it out of my system...

Stunning!

Both the R10 itself, and the pictures... So clean.

Some day...

I've had my R10s modified to have balanced connectors. And I would like to buy an extension cable (left and right balanced channels) to go from the R10s to the balanced inputs on my RSA B-52.

Any recommendations on extension cables that are true to the R10 sound? I assume I could use any 5m balanced interconnects, but not sure if the impedance of a "regular" interconnect is a mismatch? Thanks!

 

[vcoheda]

bal R10 + B52 is nice. you should grab a bal 800 for comparison purposes.

 

[bigamp]

vcoheda, I directly compared the bal R10s to the bal 800s at Ray Samuels' place, on his B-52. I heard the bal 800s first and like them very much. But then listened to the bal R10s, and it was no contest in my opinion. I ended up returning my 800s within the 30-day return period, and bought a pair of R10s.

 

[vcoheda]

very good then.

I got tipped bij Townyj on a Yahoo.jp auction after I placed the add that I wanted a R10. And was just in time to register via Kuboten and place a bid mere hours before the auction ended. They were deliverd today - I now got nr 1060!

Townyj - thanks again!

Thanks! To the mini-meet: okay! Let's try to set a date and notify some people (Anouk, Blackmore, Chimpie were in - maybe we can do something at the newly renovated shop of Qables?).
To selling my L3000 (joking): You already had NO - and you can FORGET yes

 

[leeperry]

the cd1k/cd3k sound so good to me, that I got a hard time imagining how good these could sound?! ah well, I'm already worried that my +15yo drivers could start rattling someday...some cd3k's are know to handle low end bass very poorly due to aging. so w/o spare drivers, a R10 is quite a gamble...except if you put it in a humidity controlled room or sumthing?

It's a shiny 63˚F morning in Ann Arbor. I've got my back on a "pillow" of a seat, windows open, a few classical CDs on the line up and the R10 on my head =

Reminds me why these sorts of headphones were made in the first place! To get absolutely absorbed into music and have nothing else in between.

 

[leeperry]

I understand the later production is said to be bassier...and that each pair came w/ a booklet signed by the engineer who assembled it. but not FR graphs? like the HD800 owners who asked for them and whine because of tiny spikes? OMG I can hear it!!!!
