Want to sell (Australia or Worldwide):
An un-modded pair of the legendary vintage AKG K340 electrostatic/dynamic in great condition with extras:
- 3 pair of pads: original old pleather, new pleather and slightly used velour (the later two are for AKG K240, but they fit.)
- 2xAKG K240 felt sheets that could be placed under the pads between your ear and the plastic cover.
- Replacement elastics - 2 different packs.
Bought them for US$200 about 6 months ago, then got the accessories for them, as I liked them a great deal compared to my Beyer DT48 (8 ohm), AKG K702 and IEMs I owned (detail, tonality, bass/mids/treble balance).
Info on the model:
- Specs/sales pitch on http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/265543/k340-info-gleaned-from-old-dealer-information-pamphlets ,
- A discussion of the K340 - http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/412126/akg-k340-electrostatic-phones
- Versions - http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/172612/k-340-version-investigation-56k-killer - I have no idea what 'version' it is, since as per the thread - neither the color, nor the writing on the headband seem to determine it as per but I think they're either the bass light or the neutral one.
FYI I drove them from an AUNE Mk2 with an Opa627, so they're not that hard to drive to enjoy (at least IMHO)
Condition (as per pics):
Very good, aside from some small scuffs:
- Some nicks on the metal looking rings and (very few) on the plastic.
- The plug metal is a bit scratched
- There is an indentation from my headphone rack on one of the sides of the headband inside (you can see in one pics it's on both sides, but on close ups it straightened out on the right one, but is still on the left one)
The rest is AFAIK good as new - the cable, the plug, plastic bits. I've replaced the elastics when I got them from the guy who said he was the original owner in the early 2010.
