Wasn't that the guy on head-fi trying to trade it for a T1? If not, then it's a guy who traded his T1 for that guy's PMB, because I recognize those pictures.

That price is bullshit, I don't care how rare those are. It doesn't even have a transformer.

Thanks! Just bought them :)

Good modding platform? 

As far as I know, the housing and drivers are shaped like Yamahas but sound a bit different.

Congrats!

These are supposed to be best of the soviet orthos along with the tds-7(that's what the russians say at least!).
The housing is almost identical to yamaha HP-1(of which it is supposed to be a clone) but the driver is more like a PMB one.

My own pair came modded so I can only guess how a stock pair would sound. It shouldn't be unlistenable like a lot of vintage orthos since these don't seem to need much damping. You would need some good sealing replacement pads though.

@shipsupt : ya, the modding potential is great. I transplanted these drivers into a PMB80 shell & it sounds really nice.It clearly held its own against the modern orthos in the last meet we had.
