has anyone tried good old classe 70 with k1000?it's only around $300 used and it sounds great,sound much fuller than all other amps i have tried.(i have not heard sig 30 anf f1 though).

flying mole cA-S3,Hands down the smallest amp that drive k1000 and much better than t-amp/super t.

I owned ps-1 before ,they are much better than the stock dt770/80 in almost all aspects except soundstage,the high is smooth and almost grain free,midrange is what amaze me the most,LIQUID and CRYSTAL CLEAR,bass is very focus,has a solid body,palpable presence.only if ps-1 has soundstage like...

I Owned dt770/80 /supermacro 3 before,although the sound did leave something to be desired overall,the bass was just awesome on some chinese pops that I listen on daily basis.after living with my k1000 for a while,i actually start thinking about posibility of acquiring darth beyer and supermacro...

another option is flying mole ca-s3,from what I have read,I think it fall somewhere between f1 and sig 30,detail,warm presentation,somewhat organic sound.VERY tight,fast and focused bass,wide and deep 3D sound stage.(when paired with wavelength brick silver version,MIT IC and equinox cable)

....Excellent sound stage and decent imaging (though not quite up to the ER4). decent imaging?what source do you have?when pair with GREAT source I don't think ER4 will have a better imaging than k1000.

Wait until you hear them "NUDE" with SAA equinoxed cable!

I was in my local target few weeks ago and listened to the same setup you mentioned,shuffle-->triport,well,in contrast,i didn't find them sounded nice,high was grainy,mid was muddy,bass was not focused,lack of impact and air.background is not black enough.etc.

congratulation.I second what mevyn said,super t -amp is fine,i A'B super t-amp with cheap IC and 8 ohm resistors against my flying mole ca-s3 with MIT IC(wavelenght brick silver version as source),the differences are really subtle,latter combo give a better,seductive mid,tighter bass with a...

Quote: Originally Posted by JzzMaTzz Interesting that your set up has that warm and organic sound. What would you say most contributed to that? I'm guessing the brick. I have the F1 in my system and it's definitely not warm (but still engaging), this thread has made me wonder about the...

"...So i need a can with good bass, abundant bass, very deep extension but it has to be more contolled, more clarity and richness over the frequency sprectum, more upfront and smooth mids and clearer shriller treble. I basically want a DT 770/80 but with better controlled bass, much better...

glorious sound stage?definately k1000,it has the most speaker like soundstage/presentation. i have yet to own hd650 and only heard hd600 but i didn't like it,sound is muddy compare to k1000.never heard dt880 or akg 701

equinoxed k1000 + F1 watt + tube USB DAC. $1300(k1000 on ebay) + $600(equinox $330 + $199 profesional install cable + postage) + F1 watt ($2000) + Cosecant V2 USB DAC($4000 with volume control) total : $8900,$1000 left with interconnects and other tweaks. I am like you,used to speaker...

1)AKG K1000 (only with brick usb dac as source + MIT IC,or the magic is lost) 2)PS-1 3)??

count me in,will bring my wavelength brick/flying mole/nude and equinoxed k1000.

I have listened to my wavelength brick silver version/MIT ic/flying mole ca-s3/equinoxed k1000 for few days now and i actually have some free time tonight,so i decided to compare the Ic i just bought to the MIT ic.i listen to mit ic for few minutes then i switch to the other ic,I didn't expect...

Bones13, what a shame,i have not heard lavry yet but i used to owned apogee mini dac with usb option(which cost as much as lavry),in my super t/k1000 setup,The brick standard version sound better than apogee,clarity is apogee's strength but brick is even clearer and has more natural/better...

Quote: Originally Posted by Konig is there significant diff in the sound? i only listen to wavelength brick standard version via super t-amp/k1000 and silver version via flying mole ca-s3/k1000,all i could say is the latter setup sound much better.there are definately more...

because i just spent about $2600 on new source and $10000++ in debt?if you give senn 595n to me i will sell them to help pay my cc interest,is that reason good enough? just kidding. you are truely a nice guy.
