Vintage Philips N6330: sextett look-alike made in Austria by AKG - Page 3

I'm now listening to them with my replacement SRH840's pads (they don't fit, the clamp keeps them here) and they sound great.

I will probably order the K240's ones from Thomann. I believe you didn't like the velvet pads for the Sextetts, IIRC?

 

(as for 2) I'm using a FiiO E9 who works great for my K601's)

I didn't liked the AKG velvet pads, because of the poor fit.
New K240 vinyl pads will do them justice.

For my current K240 Sextett LP, I'll use flat and worn out DT770 velour ear pads. Works great as well.

BTW: the K601 are 120 Ohm and 101 dB.....

I know, even I could ear the difference when I tried the N6330's directly from my receiver, the horror... the horror...  But it's satisfying out of the E9; (I was refering to the k601's because they both need to go around 9'o clock, although I don't know if that really means something).

 

Thanks for the tips anyway.

I just bought AKG vinyl ear pads from www.musicstore.com.
And I must admit, the Sextett sounds the best with their original pads.

Just got them (philips) ehm... 4 of them. I agree with most opinions here, they are very involving with nice bass and beautiful midrange.

 

Build quality is a little bit better than Sextetts - metal springs instead of elastics!

 

Just finished refoaming one of them and will post later the sound diffrence: old foams vs refoamed ones.
