k701 here...considering the k550 in the near future

K501 here (with a silver UP-OCC recable): Still going strong after 5+ years (over which time, I've seen about a dozen other sets of cans come and go).  Still my midrange reference cans!
 
: )

There's a very good reason the K501 set me off on that downward spiral of AKG ownership.
 
But I've been holding steady for a while now with the K240 Sextett, K401, and modified K1000.

Modified K1000?

 

[RexAeterna]

i used the k240 for many years in the control room. now i use the k701 mostly. you can say what you want about listening to music on them.....i make the music with them!

that's interesting. what older k240 models? i have the sextetts lp and k240DF, both wired with 18awg wire(240DF with silver/ copper, and sextetts lp just copper) and terminated with a 4-pin XLR running them off speaker outputs and never liked the k701 compared to them. i have the k601 also. while i find the k601 better than the k701, i still like my sextetts lp and 240DF over them by good margin. more transparent,detailed,clarity, and clean sounding to me personally.

I guess I'm joining Team AKG.  I've got a pair of K601s coming in tomorrow.  I needed something with a more "reference" frequency response to help me tune my T50RPs.

I was doing some experimentation with the filter board a while back, but don't really remember where I left off. I also removed the foam discs because they were starting to deteriorate, and after making some replacement ones from a virtually identical foam I don't notice a huge difference with them out. Bass response seems a little higher without them, but I can't really tell if there's other drawbacks to removing it, it's hard to tell since I can't A/B it. I need to get them over to Tyll for some proper measurements sometime, just never gotten around to it.

would love to see CSD plots by Purrin as well

Despite owning the HD800 I still really enjoy putting on my K400 now and again.

I think I did some rough measurements on that which showed minimal difference on the CSD, but it's been so long I can't be sure. I'll get it all measured eventually.
