An early FYI for anyone interested in some vintage ortho booty. One of the orthounderground members is going to be purging sometime soon. He has RP18, Fostex T20 / T10 / others , don't have a price list or inventory yet but if anyone is interested, I will post presale numbers here ..dB

I want the RP18's!

Still debating Buffalo 3 build vs. vintage DAC (spending less on setting up another rig means more $$ for headphones!).

There's a Parasound 2000 DAC up on eBay starting at $450 which I'm watching. How well does it punch in its price bracket? Will the increase to the Buffalo 3 be appreciable in quality? This will be for a close family member's rig.

Edit: Looks like $450 is pricey. I'm seeing $350-400 for used units within the last 7 years. I also read that if the converter develops an issue, then any repairs are unlikely.

Quite a deal, this one IMO, wonder why this hasn't disappeared yet.

Could someone recommend an economical and well-constructed headphone stand to use with the SR007, HE6, and HE60? I'll be keeping antistatic bags over the headphones when not in use.

In the case of the SR007 in particular, I'd recommend getting a headphone hanger over a headphone stand so you don't wear out the foam inside the earpads and end up replacing them more frequently than necessary. I like both the Koss and Sennheiser hangers and they're cheap to boot.

Yaki's FS type mabe? It preserves the pads.

If you want, I can try putting my HE6 over it to see if it fits.

Something made of gold.

By getting a headphone hanger, do you guys mean to make sure that the pads aren't pressing on anything?

What's the FS model for the yakiboy? It looks nice, but will it wear on the pads pressing on the wood? Also, how is the longevity on the wood? I noticed he's charging a much more reasonable price for his curved wood stands than the European guys.

I'm still unsure what kind of stand to get that won't strain the headband or pads. For example, I don't want to stretch the elastic headband on the SR007.

Yup.

Don't hang them by the headband; hang them by the arcs.
