It is a well known fact that on the seventh day, God created the AKG K1000's.

Just got a Meier Eartube and boy, does it sing with the K1000!

And contrary to popular belief, he wasn't actually done on the 7th day and resting, but instead spent the whole time listening to the K1000s and forgot to actually finish his work.

But lets be honest, who could blame him?

#09145-checking in, wonderful headphones 

 
I was thinking on driving them from a 2 board beta22, or from a first watt F5 (both will be built by me), did any one had the chance to compare them ?
 
Thanks.

I used to drive them from a 4 board b22, quite bright for my taste (and I'm a basslight person). not recommended unless you have a musical source.
 
the f5 will be better, but that still depends on the rest of your system.

As for DAC, I have a matrix mini-i, but I'll change it for a benchmark DAC-1, or a Lavry DA10/11 or for a mytek in the future, what amps are recommended in the 500$ price range ? (I like SSamps more, I don't like to play around with tubes anymore, they're too sensitive)

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

With all the talk about what amp is best to drive the K1000, I thought I would throw out the SAC KH1000 amp.  Mine did a much better job driving the K1000 than my Eddie Current ZDT or a Cavalli EHHA (as well as better than numerous 5-12 watt speaker amps), both costing 2-3x that of the SAC amp.  The Cavalli was second best, and the ZDT was 3rd, but none of my little speaker amps (Qinpu A-3, Travagans Red, Nuforce Icon) could do the k1000 justice like the top 3 amps I tried.  The ZDT and EHHA has just enough power at the low end, but soft on the impact, and sometimes a little muddy sounding.  The ZDT was a little dark with the K1000 as well, even with my brightest tubes.
 
I kept the amp for so long because it can power my HE-6 too and is fantastic with Balanced HD600, plus I thought I was going to buy another K1000 someday, but my Stax SR-009 shipped to me today and the idea of another K1000 is on the back burner again.  I apologize for the intrusion here, and it wont be proper for me to respond to inquiries in the forum (so I wont), but if anyone is interested in buying mine just PM me.

Anyone here own a BAP1000 ? 

Me, including the individual ROM-Card. (The quality of the internal BAP-1000-Amp is sparse, so separate Amp is obligatory.)

I wasn't sure the SAC-K1000 was still in production? Can you buy it new?

 

[Vegeta55555]

You could try this out.

Any recommendations...

 

[Blackmore]

Try NOS Mullards or Brimars:

 
12AT7=ECC81=CV455 ( Military grade ) = CV4024
 
Make sure they are made before 1970's, from 50-65 are the best. If you dont know, just post here the pics and we will see from there, but because they arent that expensive, I would get differ ones and choose the one you like at most, see here pls
