Hi, Tiemen, long time no write.   Well, that does confirm the connection without a doubt, doesn't it? I wonder what is the chronology of the production. If these are indeed LP drivers, why would Philips first have their own badges and logo's early in the production and then just use AKG...

Hi everyone, Tiemen, long time no read, (I'm still in the tropics and a bit out of touch but couldn't resist putting in my two cents worth) Let me first repeat a relatively new post in the dedicated N6330 thread I started a long time ago: After quite a bit of upgrading in the signal...

Interesting! So little can be found on these that all these little snippets of info are great. Thanks, Tiemen, and iQEM of course.

After quite a bit of upgrading in the signal chain, I now have to re-evaluate the N6330, so I'll do a mini-review and compare them to the two real Sextetts I own. I just found out from Tiemen that these were also made as a clone to the Sextett LP, as he has white drivers, but mine is a clone of...

It's time to update this thread. After another series of upgrades to my audio chain (tube rolling, netfilter, battery-powered laptop in stead of mains PC), one evening I took the time to re-evaluate the pad options on three of my favourite cans that have similar earcups and drivers, the AKG...

ear8dmg, thanks for sharing your experience. I have gone through a lot of upgrades to my system and all the time I never bothered to re-test the suitability of my set-up, which I will do now. I did notice that "native" DH, like with watching a movie and enjoying the end credits with a good...

For those of you who haven't yet read my first post on this forum about an alternative cross-feed setup, I'll recommend reading it, as it gives a few alternatives to Naive, 4Front and Bauer that are imho even better. Myself, through all of my upgrades from a good mid-fi setup to the...

In my younger years I worked as a high-end hifi salesman, listening to and selling 6 figure speaker-based set-ups (Mark Levinson, full-range electrostats, the works), but also a lot of good mid-fi, so I know the potential quality of a speaker set-up. As far as resolution and fidelity is...
