Great review, I enjoyed it and I completely agree with your description of the sound signature on the 701. Enjoy your sounds. Life goes by too fast not relish the things we love that bring us pleasure.

 

[jeust0999]

Thanks a lot.

Nice pictures.  What's your source?

I have a Pioneer CD player.
 
I also have a Monster y-cable that I use directly to my laptop sometimes.

AKG K 701 & Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S Caliente
 
The AKG and the Caliente are similar: You get what you pay for. I absolutely think the KICAS is a gorgeous amplifer. A beautiful piece of metal to look at, really. The feeling of the knob is firm and smooth, just like the finish on the amp. I like their approach to keep it clean & simple.

Giggle.

It's funny because that was the thing I noticed when I turned it on for the first time.

You turned on the firm, smooth knob? I like where this is going..

I want another pair of headphones to compliment the 701's.
 
So should I....
 
A) Get the HD 650's
 
B) Buy a DAC
 
C) Keep saving for the T1's!!!
 
 
Thanks.

A

 

[jeust0999]

I'm also leaning towards A...
 
I know I'm going to get a lot more pleasure out of a new pair of headphones than a DAC.
 
Other opinions or suggestions on this matter?
 
 
 
....by the way I think the AKG's were made for Johnny Cash's music. Bliss.

Try a little Elvis Presley on the AKG. From Elvis in Memphis is the King at his finest, circa 1968. Re-released last year on a 2 disc Legacy recoding, it sounds superb.

I had not listened to Elvis Presley in a while, and I specifically searched and found a torrent of this.
 
Good Stuff, Thanks.
