Still burning in a k701 using HG silver interconnect cables. The sound is a bit bright at this time though I believe further breakin in might reduce this slight brightness. For users of k701 ,what copper based interconnects can you recommend for a more warmer sound ? Thanks in advance.

I was much too eager to jump into the headphone game, and bought some equipment without doing enough research. I bought some K701s, which I really like the sound and look of, but to drive them, I ended up with a FUBAR III. Now, if I had done basically ANY reading at all, I probably would have...

Greetings Head-fiers,   I understand that im picking an old subject that keeps coming back on these forums quite frequently.   I got a problem with my AKG's, I know that decent headphones need equally decent amp but when it comes to these they need a powerplant...   Im using Project...

the reason i dont want amplifier in the dac is only because i already have an awesome amp(Heed Canamp), feels like im wasting half of the money on to something i will never use. So i am looking for a tube-like sounding dac my budget is around 300$. i have been looking at the DacMagic and couldnt...

Am currently using a heavily modded QED MD45 (cheap basic amp modded to an inch of it's life) - it's not bad at all but I can hear it's shortcomings.   I am thinking of a 2nd hand Heed Canamp but am wondering what other amps I should be considering - budget is up to £200 2nd hand.  ...

Heed canamp has won the hearts of many headfiers. It is becoming one of best value for money home SS amps. It even trounces the goodness of Music fidelity V3 which belongs to tube sector. Its simplicity in circuit topology always fascinating! (classA) I was one of the first who imagined...

I was thinking to setup a rig with a dynamic headset. From different reviews the AKG K701 seemed to be quite good so I ordered one. However, to get the best sound out of it, one should buy an amp with it. Any recommendations on what's a good match? I listen to classic rock, blues and some jazz.

I am in a bit of a dilemna. I have done quite a bit of research concerning this topic but have found very little. I am in the position of purchasing some gear but the problem is not what I want but what should come first. I am fixed on the idea of the K701 and Heed Canamp combination and I will...

Hi folks,   I own the Heed Canamp and the AKG K701, which I'm happy with but wouldn't exactly use with some of the heavier music I listen to (Opeth, High on Fire, Tool, Mars Volta, Kyuss etc). At the moment I'm using my Alessandro MS-1i for that kind of music, which is a GREAT headphone...

I'm an audio noob and got a hold of a set of AKG k702's and they sound great alone, and on my PC's sound card built in amp (asus xonar) but i know it's know being used to their full potential. Man question is what's the best amp i can get for a reasonable price (under 200) to power these...

These have both been around long enough to move past FOTM so I was hoping to get some opinions from owners or previous owners of these amps. This will be for a desktop rig using either an iTouch as a source or my work PC through a v-dac. The main headphones I will be using will be the D5000...

I am currently using the AKG K702 with Maverick tube magic D1 ( DAC) ...though i am quite happy with the setup ...but i can hear some hissing in songs ( its absent with TF10 ) ....thus i came across the HEED CanAmp ..read about it and its great synergy with K70x and no hissing as per reviews...

I just recently tried my Denon d7000s and AKG k701 on a full sized amp and I just KNOW that I have to buy a desktop amp now. What I tried was a Music Hall ph25-2 (Shanling ph3000). The amp just made my music sound just so real. The bass was also fantastic on my Denons.   What I have been...

The Heed Canamp manual says: "As the CanAmp draws very little power, unless it is out of use for a long period, it is recommended to leave it switched on permanently."   Mine is burned in and it's working great, but now I wanna be sure I'm treating it properly since it's $400+ equipment. Am...

I have owned the AKG-702s for over a year powered by the onboard sound of a Dell Precision 390 workstation.  While they sound pretty good already, I have a good ear for quality would like to unleash the true potential of the 702s.  Despite being a music-aholic I know nothing about electrical...

Hi guys.   I'm looking to buy a secdond set of at-home headphones to go with my current rig, which is a Heed Canamp and AKG K701 (I also have K240S). I love the K701 for jazz and classical and the like, but since i dip heavily into progressive rock (new and old) and doom/sludge I often find...

Well, I have had my AKG 702's for a couple of months and although they are great headphones for reproducing sound, for me, thats all it is, just sounds be reproduced, they must have approx 150 hours on them now. Previously I had a pair of Beyer DT 770's and previous to them some Beyer DT...

I have a canamp and seem to remember reading (on their page maybe) that it was capable of driving a set of small desktop speakers.   Does anyone know anything about that?  I was thinking that if it were true, I could pick up a  nice pair and go for it.... I'm interested in the impedance / watt /...

I am looking at two headphone amps, and do you rather have a transparent headphone amp or a warm headphone amp.

I have no idea if this is the right forum for this, but I am using a Heed Canamp with a MicroDac.  The last time i listened to music with my setup was 2 days ago.  I needed to use a spot on my power strip as all spots are occupied.  After doing what I needed to do I plugged the Canamp back in. ...

Been debating if i should go with senn's 650 or a k701/702....decided to go with the akg's...and I researched that heed canamp has great synergy with it.... i searched google and the amp for sale forum but couldnt get a price of a new or used heed canamp.  so if anyone has a ball park figure for...

Hello Head-Fi :)   I need your help, I want to upgrade my soundcard but I don't know which one is better. Currently I have my ESI Juli@ which had served me quite well for the last couple of years. I'm not going to get an external DAC, so I'm looking for an internal solution.   Which of...

If I purchase a Heed CanAmp to complement my k702s, will i need to purchase a DAC, or is it unnecessary?

Just curious what would be my best option if I wanted to upgrade my system. I've basically got 3 components that I can upgrade, my dac, my amp, or my headphones.       My Setup:   Computer with all of my music in Lossless   Nuforce uDac ($100 but supposedly really good for the...

I first read about this headphone amp in a post by PinkFloyd and decided to order one. Well it arrived today and I am in awe. An amp as inexpensive as this has no right to sound this good. The unit retails for $400 Before I attempt to describe what I hear a little background may be in order...
