Yup mine definitely had that uber thumping bass sound. I'd love to see the FR/CSD of those stock
^I think omegakitty meant for measurements of original 1975 Fostex T50, not the current T50RP.
Anybody have a spare set of RP18's they want to sell?

I have had the chance to hear two NAD RP18s (both mylar) & I would expect them to measure very well stock compared even to current High-end headphones. The stock mylar NAD are pretty neutral sounding with slight roll-off at either end of spectrum. Apart from a peak at around 4k, they are pretty clean & smooth sounding. The damping is nearly perfect stock.The one area where it lags behind the current offerings is the soundstage, its pretty limited.
I'm not sure I'd recommend that one if it doesn't extend past 6khz. A lot can happen to a pair of headphones in 30 years... If you're going after one, I think you would like the Mylar version best. They seem to pop up much more often in Germany if you have a friend over there. That's how I got mine.Quote from: gurubhai on April 11, 2012, 02:42:53 PMI have had the chance to hear two NAD RP18s (both mylar) & I would expect them to measure very well stock compared even to current High-end headphones.

I had some very deep pads on mine and they had excellent soundstage. W11 pads also seem to give them good soundstage, though it's more up and down than left to right. Maybe we should have an ortho forum here.
