Post Subject: One way to find out...Posted by cv on: 6/11/2009

Hi Romy,
I knew that would be your response! It's definitely a case of (1) or (2) though. If he had been upfront about them being new, and not that he found them in a cinema, that would have been another matter. Also, I believe Mike Harvey owns the rights now, which means that by forging vitavox labels, the guy in HK is infringement there.

Obviously I have little idea how they will sound, but:
a) the lead outs look rather fragile.
b) the material looks like it may not even be aluminium - it kinda looks like titanium ?!
c) they seem rather heavier than the originals (this compared to alu originals with the ribbon lead outs)

I'm can send them to you to try if you are curious. Given the apparent mass difference (I don't have scales that are resolving enough), they may even burn up a few db of excess gain on your DHT channel...

Cheers
