Hi Barry,

Good one Marco,

I have a pair of Koss Electrostatic headphones (ESP-6) and they're horrid: uncomfortable to wear and have an unbalanced sound. If only I had bought the Pro 4AAs, much, much better (if you like headphones that is...
I thought they'd be up your street

Apparently the broadcasters at the BBC used them a lot? Yes I do like headphones. This is my third pair! I find them useful for listening to music late at night when Del's asleep.

Nick Gorham (the chap who modified my Lentek head amp) is building me a bespoke all-valve headphone amplifier, so I thought to go with the valves, I should have a pair of retro headphones

Technically, they probably won't be as good as my AKG 701s, but they'll add a touch of nostalgia, which is always fun!

I wonder if Andre will like them?

Have been on the look out for a pair but always seem to miss the eBay appearances.
You just mised a pair: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-1971-K...item5adee409dd

TBH, I'd go for the new ones - they seem identical to the originals, minus the sweaty stains from someone's manky nut!

Marco.
