    Antique headphone wiring

    Hello! First post on the forums. I am puzzled by the wiring for old Dymac monopole magnetic headphones. I have two pairs- a Type E which work great and I won't dissect, and a Type F which were fairly lousy and I didn't mind taking a look at the voice coils (they are identical, but are simply...

    The Vintage AKG Headphones appreciation thread

    I find it fascinating how some of these Vintage AKG headphones sound better to me, than most of the mid-fi and even some TOTL hps being produced over the past 25 years or so. Please feel free to post your pics, articles, experiences and opinions of them. For the sake of defining vintage, we'll...

    EAH-22 Upgrade...

    Hey everyone, I'm new here and was recommended this site for my query. I have a pair of 1970's Panasonic EAH-22s and I think they are the coolest looking headphones! But I'd also like modern day tech to make them sound as cool as they look. Are there any specialists out there that takes on...

    Sennheiser HD-425 Thoughts

    Hey all, First-time caller. Long-time listener. Would love some thoughts and help with the HD-425s. THE STORY: My wife bought a pair of new-in-box Sennheiser HD-425s for my birthday, out of self interest, I suspect. She's tired of my audio at 10:30 PM, apparently. Little does she know what 600...

    AT-706 adaptor box switch

    Hello there, just bought an old Audio-Technica AT-706 electret. I've been eyeing one for awhile just to mess around with, though I know that it's not going to compare to any proper electrostats. Now the condenser box switch seems to have a problem with audio. At the moment it only outputs audio...

    Koss K-500 vintage headphones

    After all, the company Koss during the leadership of its founder John Koss was truly great, and then the optimizers came and it turned out what happened. Otherwise, how to explain the fact that the company could produce small-scale batches of headphones for "human testing". The case in the...

    A Stranger with a Strange Request

    Hello! I am new here. I made an account simply to get help in finding a very oddly specific pair of headphones, and I guess this is the best placd to ask :). I listen to music on a regular basis with my home set-up. I have an amp and a record player, which go out to speakers. But recently a...

    8 Ohm Headphone Amps? Where can I find one?

    Newbie here. I'm searching on eBay for some vintage headphones recently, but they are all 8Ω. Then I looked for an appropriate headphone amplifier to drive those, but I'm not so fortunate to find one. All headphone amps are only made to drive cans with a maximum impedance of 16Ω. Can you give...
