First of all, what the heck are these :
Short version : Vintage headphones which after some tweaking kick the butt of current production dynamic headphones.
Long version : The 900+ pages long orthodynamic thread at head-fi

Fostex T20v2 : recabled with Belden miniquad cable



Yamaha HP-2 recabled with mogami miniquad, also seen are ghetto DIYed lambskin pads(soon to be replaced)



another T20 snap:

Together :


Sound Impressions : Almost perfect , from deep subwoofer like bass to crystal-clear mids with smooth extending highs.
Imaging is razor sharp & the transients are lightning fast. :clap:
The best I have ever heard. Period !
Cons :
1.) Soundstage is rather small though it is compensated a bit by superb imaging.
2.) They sound this good only after modding, stock they are only decent.
3.) Vintage meaning old , really old - about 30 yrs. in case of yamaha ones.
