Re: Recent ebay buys
Cubes wont work. Try and figure it out why
A little clue one driver on the top and one on the front
Anyway Cubes are rare and far between. If I remember rightly of the new acrylic ones there are about eight pairs in the UK and one pair in Belgium and one pair in Luxembourg.
You still haven't given us a full report on the Cubix, have you

Re: Recent ebay buys
Did somebody from here saw my question and jumped in?, phoned the seller just now and he said he'd just answered an email wanting to buy these,
he's going with the other guy as he'd just pipped me, if it's one of you lurkers in here, enjoy them .........no hard feelings.

Re: Recent ebay buys
Whilst i am not 100% sure , I think realistic was sold by american chain store [ tandy / radio shack ] in the 80's , I have doubts they would have cost £500 and would be anything special . I could of course be wrong .

Re: Recent ebay buys
They would have been good for £59 but not the most refined... A bit like Cerwin-Vega! IIRC.

Re: Recent ebay buys
Realistic was like those White van man speakers being sold on the doorstep. Looked OK outside, not much inside.

Addictive aint it......Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:Yep! I have caught Jammy disease and going through a headphone phase.
And some of the older cans (Like Loudspeakers) would piss all over the vast majority of new ones.......

Re: Recent ebay buys
The K701's arrived this morning, lovely sounding things. I was initially a little worried by the apparent lack of LF but further listening has shown it is there, just not artificially pronounced like my previous headphone's [Superlux HD662]. Massive soundstage, literally shut your eye's and your there - The polar opposite to Grado's "wall of sound" but thats not to say one is better than the other... After all they're only headphones why not own one of each flavour ?
You got the Pioneers yet Doc ?
