      Saw one of the knockoff avatars and thought about you. I hope all is well. I'm curious: did you pretty much give up on vintage headphones and embrace the HD800?

        Promptly thereafter, I built my own measurement rig and started building a database for it. I also started a vintage collection. I now have the greater half of the past 60 years worth of siginificant developments in headphone technology in my closet and daily an SR-Lambda Signature.

        HD800 has been forsaken, having left my stable a few years ago. But I may rebuy one cheaply to toy around with mods for it. ;)

        Hey, welcome back! I might be gifted an Audio-Technica AT-706. Any experience with that or similar models?

        @Azteca The AT-706 and other models from this time period were from the period where AT's headphone division was just starting out, so they're just cheap OEM drivers in their own housing. AT did not start making their own driver designs until the ATH-5 and ATH-6D, which are 53mm dome drivers that share much of the same DNA as the modern Art monitor series (ATH-AD5/7/900/X and such)

        Between the HE-6 and HD 800, both out of good amps which one would you choose?

        HD800

        the HE-6 just isn't as clean, and no amp will change that

        there's also this nasty treble coloration on the HE-6 that makes them sound simultaneously distant and hissy that's not present on the senns, but that could change with amplification so grain of salt

      1. takato14
        takato14
        Just warning you... the HD-S9 is a piece of garbage, the driver has no potential whatsoever, it cannot push bass or treble no matter what you do to it. I spent weeks working on it and nothing ever worked. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it.

        takato14
        yeah the pads turned out to be the majority of the issue, but I also took the highs down a lot with some damping

        we'll see if im deaf or not soon, though I will say that while they are better than stock and extremely precise sounding I was finding them relatively unenjoyable compared to the Sansui or even the Pioneers...
