AKG k240 DF or k340 for a jazz person
Old thread, I know. But I'm getting more and more passionate about these two headphones (akg k240 df and k340). And I have another view on this subject. For jazz I pick up the k240df - everytime. To me the k340 sounds too beefy. I love them - but not for jazz and classical. K240df -...- librarian

The Stax Thread III
My first Stax setup :-) Colorfly C4 > Isabellina HPA LFP-V Ed. > Indeed TA2021 > SRD-6 > Stax SR-Lambda The two headphones are same model, but sound a little different. One is brighter than the other. And one has a bit of "warm-up" time before sound comes through (5 sec...) Is...- librarian

AKG K340 vs Stax Lambda: survey
I recently got myself a pair of Stax SR-Lambda (normal bias) and a pair of K340 (not sure which version, but not bass-heavy) Driving the Lambda through the speaker output on a mini-stereo in the living room (with the SRD-6 adaptor). Driving the K340 through a Isabellina HPA (LFP-V Edition)...- librarian

Entering electrostats - where's the sweet spot for a nice setup?
Got the original SR-Lambda normal bias. Ordered an Indeed T-amp based on the Tripath ta2021 chipset. Listened shortly to the headphone with SRD-6 hooked up on a Audio Pro Stereo One with 2x40w in 8ohms. Not the best source, but I listened just to hear if the headphone was allright. And it...- librarian

Entering electrostats - where's the sweet spot for a nice setup?
I just found a good deal on a pair of Stax Lambda normal bias. They are bundled with a srd-6 energizer. 1. As I don't have a power/speaker amp, I need to know how much the amp will affect the sound...? 2. What kind of amp would be a good match in this system: Isabellina DAC > [amp] >...- librarian

Entering electrostats - where's the sweet spot for a nice setup?
dafo: No doubt, an audition with diferent stax-setups would be very interesting. But I don't want to bother hififreaks, when I'm not ready to buy anything yet... nameless: thanks for your response. I don't have a speaker amp. Head-fi only:-) What makes the original normal bias stax...- librarian

Entering electrostats - where's the sweet spot for a nice setup?
I'm not in any hurry, as I haven't collected the cash yet. But I think that I somewhere along the road will get into electrostats. I have only listened to HE-60 and a Stax model which name I forgot. These HE-60 are pretty high end, and they sounded incredibly good. What I recall is impressive...- librarian

What Closed Back - Please help
AKG K550 is an option. But the cups are pretty big, so I don't know if they will fit you while lying down... Sound is great for the price. I think they may be brighter than HD650, though...- librarian

Beyer Dynamic T70 - Barely a Beyer? (Review)
I know, I was stupid to put it that way:-) But I'm so happy for my T70. And for me it has outclassed several headphones costing a lot more than the T70. I just thought this thread needed another perspective. I didn't want someone who never heard the T70 to think, that it was a total no-go...- librarian

How do the AKG K550's compare to the other headphones listed in the thread?
sorry to bump an old thread, but i need to state, that the k550 isn't lacking bass imo. T70 is my primary headphone, and I chose it above a lot of more expensive headphones out there. To me they do everything just as I want it. I had the K550 some time ago, and I used it when I wanted just a...- librarian
