Gary, so far I have no Pioneer receiver. But who knows... something could pop up.

Oooh, those 305s are gorgeous, Ivo! I love vintage headphones, both in looks and how they're voiced, generally, which is rather different from how modern headphones sound
I have some Koss PRO/4AAs and love them to bits!
Oh, and your 'Christmas presents' don't look too shabby either!!All gorgeous, and that Pioneer cassette deck is well cool - never seen one like it before. I suspect it must be rather rare?

Marco,
The T-C3 is from a Collection X-C5 series including CD, tuner, amplifier and speakers, year 1993-1996. I have only the deck for my kitchen system. It's nothing special as parameters but is interesting as a design.
Regarding the vintage Pioneer headphones - my interest start very recently. I'm not a head fi guy for now at least. But this didn't stoped me yesterday to buy another cans - Pioneer Monitor 10. They are made very serious - leather and steel. The speakers are 57 mm. But I hope I will stop here...
BR,
Ivo

Yeah, there's just something about those old cans, isn't there? How would you describe their sound?

Marco,
I didn't make a dedicated listening session so far. Just brief comparison between the SE-305 and Monitor 10. The latter has more details. Quite analytical.
Regarding SE-32 I have to find new ear pads first. The original ones are gone. But I have no high expectations.
I still prefer music from speakers but being a vintage Pioneer fan I had to have some cans
Now I'm looking for Pioneer JB-100 headphone adaptor...
Regards,
Ivo

Well, after waiting one year, I received back my Pioneer RT909. Fully repaired, restored and adjusted to LPR35 tape. I love this deck. Will start making selections for mix tapes.
