    This is a very rare pair of Stefan Audio Art full cable'd K1000's. Here is a link to a review/description of these. From the review: "Technically speaking, what's the diff between the hardwired (full-on) and tail-end (partial) replacement cable by StefanAudio Art? "We get this question often...

    happy Maximo IP-595 user looking for comparable or better Chinese (because I lose headphones all the time)

    Hello all! I have had (and lost) several pairs of Maximo ip-595's all purchased when being closed out for around $25 apiece. I wish I weren't so bad about losing iems, but because I am, I can't really justify spending big bucks on iem's. (though I would definitely appreciate them sonically.)...

    Maximo ip-595 eartips / Maximo customer support

    Hi all! I really like the sort of double flange medium eartips that come on the Maximo ip-595 and im-590.  I lost my left one and want to buy a replacement.  When I call them, I just get their answering machine.  Their website store is either misconfigured or hacked.  Does anyone know how I can...

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Thanks for the response, OJNeg. I can happily say, I went ahead and ran from the speaker outs, and this Sansui makes me feel like I have a new pair of headphones! These AKG's have always been nice, but a tad harsh on the top an shy on bass for my taste. This Sansui has made them absolutely...

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Would it be bad to power the K1000's from the speaker leads of the Sansui AU-3900 instead of from the headphone out?  Would that defeat the purpose of using the Sansui?

    Did it ever become clear whether or not AKG can rework a later serial numbered pair to the spec of the earlier ones and, if so, how much it would cost?

    Hey guys, I used Richard Land at Land Audio out of Nashville to recable mine with the Stefan Audio art cable.  He did excellent work.  I just had the cable and phones shipped directly to him.  http://www.akgmicrepair.com/  <<<that is his site

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Are there any specific models I should look for on ebay?  Also, I have the silver tipped wire cables on my K1000's to go straight to the speaker outs if that affects anything.

    Maximo iM-490 daily deal.

    I had a pair and felt that they seriously improved after breaking them in.  They opened up and sounded less brittle.  Great for the $!

    So would any of the inexpensive class A amps on ebay do the trick (Yaqin or the Russian ones for instance) or would I be throwing good money after bad?

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Thank you guys for these responses!  I just came back here after thinking the thread had quit.  I apologize for not responding with a thank you earlier!  Still living with my B&K amp, but will hopefully give these suggestions a shot.

    Hello all!  Another K1000 user here.  I had them modded with the full Stefan audio art cable.  http://www.sixmoons.com/audioreviews/stefanaudioart2/k1000_2.html  (I hope its ok for me to post a link here.)  Not cheap to say the least, but these things clarity of detail is magical.  I am no a...

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Well I did a little research to find out what 300b meant. Those are expensive tubes! Wow. Thank you all for your input. I have read about putting a 4 or 5 ohm resistor along with the k1000's when running off a normal amp. Is this a good idea? Would it not just make the impedance even higher?

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    Thanks for the input! That is interesting. I would say that your description pretty well matches my experience. I have read occasional posts where guys have talked about incredible full bass extension with crazy high dollar amps, but it strikes me that it really is more about finding the right...

    AKG K1000 and sub $500 amp for more bass and accuracy

    I first want to say that, if the answer to this question is available on this forum, I apologize for not finding it. I am trying not to be one of those that asks the same question that has been asked a thousand times. I think that I am simply overwhelmed by the amount of info on the K1000's. I...
