I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't believe this trace is supposed to be there.

well got a reply from headroom about shipping to canada, and they are willing to ship it for 20 using USPS instead of 30 from fedex, which helps with brokerage aswell. anyone know how much is shipping for ALO?

Live in Canada and these pads are hard to track down with having huge wait time attached to it. Planning on getting them for my K501 which this combination has been discussed with great results. Anyone know where to get them, even from the US is ok as long as I can get them. I tried giving the...

anybody know where to get 701 pads in Canada? I tried contacting the distributor (soundcraft) but they dont' have replacement parts and said to ask local shops. asked around...none of them have it and it take a few weeks to order

have to get them used, but if your lucky u might find a store caring some old stock since they are out of production

NOOOOO not the Nordost cableeeeeee

wow getting alot of input in this thread...and i thought that it would die out like most other threads

now who's up to the challenge of taking this to AKG?

so i think our safest guess from the evidence so far is the version 3 is the latest... now for ver 1 and 2

hmmm well the first clue we can get when the baffle swap was implemented..so we should check what the post 501 models have and what the pre 501 models have to see which baffle was on first

There are so far 3 versions of the K501 which have been presented on Head-Fi. The following versions are what I think is the order they came out as (oldest to most recent). Also these photos are not mine and do not remember who’s post I took these off of, but if these pictures are yours please...

ya i think we should start a serial number thread with pics. Im going to be getting mine soon (unless its lost in the mail ) and start a comparison between versions

What company does he use to ship the items? ie, fedex, ups, usps? I am asking this because companies other than usps will charge ridiculous brokerage fees when shipping to Canada. Thanks

ill let fitz take a crack at this one

ksc75 in sr60 headband

lol talk about thread crapping/off topicness

well i could do what i suggested earlier...put a ksc75/35 in a cheap sony behind the neck...but the issue is using an open driver in a closed enclosure
