Hey. I was watching that auction too but forgot to bid on it. Glad to see one headfier getting it. Please do report on condition and impressions. I'm curious!
I bought a NOS, boxed 250 II from a former hifi guy out of the Ukraine. My own adventure I guess. Can't wait to get them .
Continuing on the experiments I still somehow prefer my 540 II to the 540 1 (600 Ohm) I bought recently. I did an extensive listening comparison over the weekend. Can't quiet put my finger at it but most noticeable is probably the highs that seem just a tad to bright for my ears in comparison.
YESS I Will for sure, and I'd like to give them time to be compared with Ref1 and Ref2. My experience seems a bit different from yours, I was really in love with Ref2 300Ohm but when I got my Ref1 600Ohm I realized myself spending much more time with them. The timbre Is more dark in my pair and bass more present, not huge difference, with Mogami cable both. Both are clear, not really for genres with bass dry and fast but for acoustic instruments and voices are really able to capture your attention and keep you in the flow of music.
