Onemalt Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 This list reflects my personal preferences only and only stuff I currently own is on the list. All Grados are amped with a Grado RA-1. For everything else I use a Cosmic Reference (except the Lambda Pro which is a system and the Etys which I use unamped): Grado RS-1 Senn GD-600 & HD-650 Stax Lambda Pro, Sony MDR-CD3000 (I tried these with the Grado amp once and I thought my ears were going to start bleeding!) & Ety ER-4P Grado SR-325 Grado SR-60 & Senn HD-414 Koss PortaPro & KSC-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewgriff Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm still a noob when it comes to audio, and I've only heard mid-fi at best. Most of what is discussed in this forum goes way over my head and budget level... 1 2005 DT990 (I've heard an RS2 plugged into a good NAD receiver, and I'd put it on this level) 2 HD555 3 HD497 / KSC 75 4 E2C 5 Marshmallows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericj Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 OK, lemme give this a shot. Top - These are the headphones that right now i can remember really thoroughly enjoying with few to no disappointments: ECR-500 DT880-S (Edition 1980) DT990 (Edition 1990) K240-DF K240-Sextett MP Yamakoax (ortho transplant of my own construction) Almost Top - Still excellent, nothin wrong with them, magic less than complete. Deserve to be in the "top" list except for my own neurotic issues: T40 v1 T20 v1 T50 v2 YH-100 QP85 SR-X III Pro 30 K240-M (early) DT770 Pro/80 Middle - Still real good. Many enjoyable hours: SR-80 Pro (Stax) SR-30 DT250-80 K340 (bass-lite) (That's right, you heard me. MIDDLIN.) HOK 80-2 Fair - no complaints: K260 Pro HD25-SP QP55x Meh - meh: Pro4AAT ATH-A900 This list will probably get edited as i change my mind, remember headphones that aren't mentioned here, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philodox Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 K340 (bass-lite) (That's right, you heard me. MIDDLIN.)It's ok, not everyone has taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericj Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 It's ok, not everyone has taste. It aint a bad headphone, but some of the weird resonances in it bug me as compared to headphones that are wholly dynamic or wholly planar. Too many compromises in the design. I still say that the K145, which i forgot to put on that list, is better. 'course, I've also come to understand that my K145 was modded by a previous owner.

ericj Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've been trying to get a pair for a while, they are really rare. I know a guy who knows a guy who can sell you a NOS pair for something like $80. I paid about $21 shipped from austria for my pair. Thing is, stockers, they come with a plastic grille over the driver module and pleather donut earpads. My pair lacks the grille and has a thin foam donut covered with a lycra bonnet. The lycra bonnet might be a sennheiser part, dunno where the foam came from - could cut your own. They are not for bassheads, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt that they will replace my K340's, but they could be a cool portable headphone with some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
