cetoole Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Shhhhhh. Yes it is. But is is only for orthos and expired now anyway. Heh, I could swear there was an older one which also listed 'stats. At least it panned out, congrats on the acquisition. Might have to try this trick myself.

Kabeer Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 So I finally found a nice priced, OK condition, local YH-100 that I picked up today. Now I need to find some time to mod them. Congrats! Good luck though. I couldnt seem to reach satisfactory point with my mods. But they seem to be universally accepted as the most superior (obtainable) Yamaha. I remained convinced it was the housing holding it back....but dunno, maybe its just the mods I experienced wern't the right ones. Once you do find the time, please do update us on your mods.

I like YH-100 with basic FV mod, so you will not see a lot of advantageous moding from me. Hell I even like it stock, don't tell anyone.

deepak Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 So I finally found a nice priced, OK condition, local YH-100 that I picked up today. Now I need to find some time to mod them. Congrats man! Though I thought you had one already You and stock Yamahas!! Your the kind of person they needed in the 80's to keep their ortho programme afloat Hey I like the stock YH-1/HP-1 (though modded is better)! Quite a few people at the NYC meet really liked the stock HP-1 as well, and this meet had the mega-buck headphones there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Congrats man! Though I thought you had one already I had one on loan for a long time. I also had one that I bought for someone else and modded. Never had one of my own until now. It's in good condition except earpads and screens, both are dirty and worn but still have a bit of life. I can wash the screens and might make custom lather pads in the future after I mode them. I also like stock YH-1 just fine, but my modded one is much better. If only they did not become so inefficient after damping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I remained convinced it was the housing holding it back....but dunno, maybe its just the mods I experienced wern't the right ones. I came to the same conclusion. I never liked the sound with the stock housing, no matter the mods. New housings turned them into an incredible headphone IMO. Still the best Ortho I've heard to date.

spritzer Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Better then the T-50... or is that a sore subject given the flames involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can't say better really, just more to my taste. Although the T-50 is a very close second. I'll also add that I've not yet heard the "Smegginator" woody T-50RP yet, but that's soon to be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think that its high time I posted some pics of this (high rez pics if you navigate the ftp). This is the completed Orthodome #4. Big kudos to Mr Tice for the awesome housing work and to Mr Maher for the fabby selectable-for-purpose home and portable cables. After they came back I decided I didn't like the really heavy damping they had on them when I sent them out. They're now undamped aside from that which is in effect because of the magnetism of the drivers holding those grilles (and the grille cloth in between). Loving them!

faust3d Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Very nice Mr Duggeh Makes me want to do something similar to my YHD-2 Alas I have no woodworking skilz, not soldering skilz and to think of it no hand eye coordination skilz. But if I did I would make something just like that...beautiful and I bet it sounds very good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
