(I'm assuming the C means closed rather than classic?)

Yes it does mean closed. No problem, good luck with the search.

Hmm. Just wondering if I should dig out my old Yamaha HP-1 planar headphones. They were a bit sought after at one time, no idea now, I do recall the sound being something like a cross between my Wharfedale Isodynamics and my Sony ECR-400 electrostatics. Would there be any interest in them these days?

I'll have a rummage. I've not used them for a year or two and they're in one of my many boxes of kit

.

There are actually two pairs, tidy ones and scruffy ones kept for spares.

Sorry Lawrence I’ve just realised that this was on your wanted thread . Should Geoff decide to sell and you don’t buy then I would be interested.
