Yep. My home setup is what I've always wanted sound wise. Although I plan to upgrade the amp when I get the extra money.

Stax, electrostatic headphones are known for their detail.

I own it up with my K-1000's hehe. But I've tried iem's, my Stax SR-001's exactly, and they were great for pin pointing where the enemy was in CS (both 1.6 & CSS).

Now that's settled. How do you pronounce ... AKG?

I was thinking about the E500, but looking at this thread I don't think they'd work in the wet Seattle weather. Is it really that big of an issue??? Just a little moisture and they're done?

They need to be recabled with Valhalla to sound their best, after this ... iBuds > All. It's just a fact guys

Isis, Pelican, maybe Sunn 0))), Opeth, My Dying Bride. Just a few I can think of at the moment. Oh, screaming, that cancels out Isis. Once you eventually get used to screaming/growling/gurgling vocals, check Isis out, they own.

Quote: Originally Posted by Fitz I emailed them to ask if they have them in stock, but I haven't heard back yet. Ah ok. Hey .... K-2000....??? You getting those? I've always been interested in what they might sound like, you know, them being the followup to the K-1000

I found a wig stand on ebay, which is a glass life sized human head ... I just couldn't resist. That's what I use as my K-1000 stand.

I was just looking for some of those headphones in your list and came across the K-1 ............ you don't have that do you?

Next thing you'll be doing is giving them "pet names", you haven't done that already have you?

Why in the world would you get all those headphones? I mean how much difference could there be?

My K1k's work like a charm for games, I'm a god in Counter-Strike

Ugh I need help guys. I downloaded the driver, then I hit the application in the Win32 folder, and it does nothing. Did it install? I ran it as adminstrator as well to see if that might pop something up but still nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Or did it install correctly? I just got my...

Problem with buying expensive headphones is you really need to focus on every part of your system, one bad thing in your chain could screw up the sound, or that's been my experience with the K-1000 anyway. Every time I upgrade a part I hear an audible difference in sound. Upgrades are expensive...

This thread has really gone places....

Like others have mentioned, The Mars Volta is a great alt rock band (or whatever you guys'd call them) If you want pure technical metal, can't get much more technical than Spawn of Possession, or Necrophagist. Personally I think Necrophagist is boring, but Spawn of Possession owns. Check...

Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face Lovely title eh?

If comfort is your thing, K-1000 is out :P What's your budget?

This is just like any hobby.

I'd go with the UE10's, if I had that much money to spend on phones right now.
