Orthodynamic Headphones & all things planar

haha


Fear not..the EHHA-1 isn't obsolete by a long shot. It still is one among the best DIY designs out there.

As for blessings..i think we will no longer see any DIY designs from Cavalli Audio. :(
 
damn - I am still waiting for a decent ortho to come my way. Seems too many users waiting to lap it up and the supply is too low!
I want a good one that has decent bass - like the hp50s yamaha I heard at guru's place.
 
^^LOL... Now you are spoiled too. The bass on HP50S is not decent but amazing for a headphone.
You seemed to think that T50RP had decent bass till you heard the HP50S.
That said, I find the bass on HP/YH -2 to be pretty satisfying & they are pretty easily available.
I shall bring my YH-2 when I get a chance to visit you.
 
Which one are you looking at?
I can see a couple but the bids are already in the high range.
 
the YH-1 is supposed to sound exactly like the YH-2 though it should be a bit easier to drive.
The QC on HP-3 is quite variable. Some are bassy like YH-100/HP50S, others like HP/YH series.
IMO, you should listen to the YH-2 first before committing to anyone of them esp. if you plan to get just one. ;) These pop up on the bay quite often, so you need not worry about the availability later.
 
The Leben is actually a very good choice for a stereo amp which doubles up as a great ortho amplifier...I haven't heard it myself, but everything i have ever read about it has been popular. The Ultralinear mode with 15WPC of powar will be most appreciated by orthos. :)

Would love to get the Leben,

but for now, I am stuck with this crappy setup. ;)

^^Wish I had all that crap !

I am planning to audition the Leben, just learnt that we have a dealer here in Delhi.
The fact that it is an excellent all-rounder does make it a viable prospect for me in the future.

BTW sachi, do you have a spare pair O2 clone pads ?
I want to try them with my NAD.
 
Sorry dude..I had 5 pairs, gave away one pair each to Smeggy and dBel, one pair went with one of the TPs i sold off. The other two I plan to keep for myself. I am trying to get my contact to make me a few more pairs. Will let you know if it fructifies.

Yeah, the Leben i definitely worth a shot.

For me, I must say, the Stacker 2 is all I ever want. I plan on rebuilding one or just building another one in the image of the Stacker dBel84 built for JPnums..like the ones with the orange stacker in the middle that i posted a few days ago.

been experimenting with the Wharfedale Zebrawood damping..been close to 9 months since i damped any headphone. Took a while and a few iterations to get them sounding somewhat to my satisfaction
It still needs work.
 
Let me know how it works out, I may be interested in 2 pairs.

I myself tried a few dampening schemes on the NAD & I am pretty happy with the results.
Amazing drivers these.
 
afaik, amitnoida purchased one leben amp from sridhar. Who is the dealer in delhi?

Guys - give me a good ortho headphone (with good bass) otherwise I will die of envy!
 
Here is the link for Indian dealer of Leben

don't worry I got you covered ;)
I am planning on getting the LCD-2 so some of orthos would have to go.Only the NAD is safe.
 
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
