Ah, shame - you missed mine by 18 months http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...a+Orthodynamic
Maybe worth dropping the buyer a PM?

Wharfedale Isodynamic phones are great. Somewhat saught after now though, as most have decayed ear-muffs and they are pretty inefficient. But the sound (via speaker outlets!) is great.

I had the Leak version, same drivers I think but much cooler look in my opinion. I have to admit they are outclassed by today's efforts, I will probably never upgrade my Hifiman HE6's they are exactly the sound I've craved ask these years.

Re my last post, when I had the leaks I didn't have a headphone amp and drove them with my cd player hp output so it's not a fair comparison. wish I could hear them again with my current setup.

Most headphone outputs are woefully underpowered. As Lawrence knows, I used my Iso phones via speaker outlets. Isodynamic phones usually need some oomph-through these apparently don't! (If you have the odd 3K euros!) http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/final6/1.html
