K3cT Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think my journey went something like from various Lambdas to the HD800 to the SR-007 MK2.9 and finally to the Utopia. The Focal definitely have the least trade-offs and annoying stuff amongst the headphones that I've tried and owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purk Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Circa 1996. Sony MDR-CD1700. I modified it recently for a balanced amplification. Stock is single-end only with wiring going into the left earcup. The CD1700 is seriously awesome after the mod. It is super efficient and sound better than ever. Modded with Moon-Audio Black Dragon and Furutech 4.4 mm plug. Edited August 25, 2020 by purk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 ^^ always liked them when I heard them, kind of a poor man's CD-3000...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the CD1700 actually does not have any weakness after the recabled work that I did. As wonderful as the Cd3000 with similar mod, the treble still can be annoying from time to time. I don’t encounter any issue with the CD1700. The presentation is actually effortless, relaxed, and analog sounding. If you guys come across one and willing to do a bit of DIY, you will be very pleased with the results. They can easily compete with any headphones under a grand and then some. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think this is a reasonable question. My vintage RS-1 and HD-800S don't get used much. My Bose NC700 get used about 18 hours a day. I'm always on the move. They are comfortable, they sound fine, and the noise cancelling is great.
