Hello all, I've a pair of modified AKG K340s for years that have been collecting dust. I want to set up a system around them again. In the past, I've basically just driven them directly from classic speaker amps and they sing beautifully. But unfortunately while speaker amps provide a lot of...

Today I received a call out of nowhere, stating that I have an order of a 700 dollars LG refrigerator coming to my house. The lady claimed that she's from Sears, and she was just verifying the order for me. I asked her to cancel the order and trace the order but she said she cannot give me the...

Guys, I just scored this: TRIPP-LITE SMART ONLINE UPS - SU3000RTXL3U- b - eBay (item 220459408063 end time Aug-04-09 19:18:41 PDT) The unit is rated 20amps but I look around the house and cannot find anywhere that has a 20amp outlet (with one horizontal prong). Can I just buy a 20amp wall...

Hi. I have a broken Darkvoice 336i here for a while now, from a bad shipping (with UPS) incident. Anyway, the amp doesn't power on, and I can feel that some thing heavy is moving around in the top box (is it the transformer?) So my assumption is that the transformer has somehow come loose from...

Guys. I am taking the English CSET soon. I have looked through the sample exams, and while I am confident in my literature analysis, compositional skills and such, I am quite inert in my linguistics. Basically I have not taken any linguistic courses over my college years, having thought that I...

Well, it didn't power on. I opened it up and there's not battery in it. I wonder can it run without battery? The model is Tripp-Lite Smart700 USB

Well I am back to the K340s club! After my regretful parting with the K340s, I have always lusted after their exuberant sounds. I just can't get enough of their mid range goodness, and frankly the Koss A/250s are not cutting the muster there. Nearly half a year later, I snatched a pair...

I have been an avid Monk fan for a while. I love his quirkiness of musical ideals but also his heavy foundations on bluesy rhythm and tone. What are some other artists (pianists?) that either came close to his style, or were actively after his style?

Has anyone noticed that the search function of the forum is kind of faulty? I tried searching for "K340 mod", and any random thread containing either keywords show up: e.g. some result with just "mod" in the entirety, while some only has K340. This is the same regardless of putting...

I am thinking of doing a recabling project soon. This time around I am thinking of going all silver But by the usual rates that they are going, I don't think I can afford any retail silver cables ATM. I have looked on ebay and found some of these bare silver wires sold by chops of few feet. I...

As the title says, I wonder if you can roll the opamps in the iBasso T2? I have searched the forum and found that most of the opamp rolling is done with the D series. My primary concern is how easy it is to open the amp, and whether or not the amp accepts the LM4562's, which are dual channel...

I orderd some Shure e2 ultra soft sleeves to replace the basic im716 foams (which hurt my ears to no end!). I wonder if they will fit right. Any one tried them yet? (the round ball ones) Are they any easier on the ears?

I think I got this thought from the loooongg jitter thread a while ago here. It was brought up by some one but it was not properly addressed. So here it is: If so many are so vehement about the detriments of digital jitter, why not consider analogjitter? What I mean is that, how can you sure...

Ok, I have had the senn PX100 for a long time. I did the form replacement pod by Lisa and did enjoy them for a while. But it's come to me that the lack of details and (still) overblown bass are finally getting me restless again with my credit card Over a long time of research, I have...

Hi! I'm currently considering to try out the analog route (TT!!!). But to make the best out of my system, I need a good EQ for room correction for my speakers. What are some good recommendations for this purpose? And am I correct in assuming that digital EQ's are no good, since I should keep the...

I have been having this impression for a long time, but only just now have I come to the desire to theorize this issue: I notice that many of John Coltrane's records (CDs, I do not mean vinyls)from his bebop era (Blue Train, Giant Step, Village Live, etc as prominent examples) have a pretty...

Today I've begun to use EAC, and out of curiosity I wanted to re-rip some of my cd's. I use the secure mode on some of them and I did a wave comparison with the same songs I ripped using foobar2000's in-house converter. I discover that nearly every song ripped using the latter has problems of...

Recently I purchased a vintage Kenwood integrated amp, and I tried the Koss phones out of the phone output of the amp. But stupidly I forgot to turn down the dial, and for a split second of LOUD( I torn off the headphones cringing) music going through the phones, I played them again with the...

As some of you may know, with the LC Audio's bad (read: extremely bad) customer service, has anyone tried calling them directly on the number listed on their website? I have recently mailed in my Zapfilter package because of bad humming issue, which they have ignored basically in emails. It's...

As some of you may know, I am seriously downsizing my setup. I am giving up the entire dual mono setup and keeping only the Koss A250. While the Darkvoice is wonderful pairing for the Koss, I just don't want something that expensive and difficult to maintain anymore (i.e, tube amp). What is a...

I am really fed up with microphonic teflons tubing. Where can I find some nice black cotton tubing, like that of the equinox cable?

Someone is offering me the K280 to trade with my A250. From the specs, they seem to be of rather low impedence, only 55ohm. I wonder how close are they to the A250, or the K340? Anyone? Fitz, comon! :

I just bought a pretty nice digital piano, and would like to get a pretty nice pair natural sounding headphones that are rated below 180ohms. I know, I know, the HD580/600 are nice, but I am looking for more closed configuration, and not to mention the low impedence requirement. Now not that I...

I have been building my dynamic system around the K340s and feel that I have come to the highground enough (!) Now that I am always itching for some new sound, though I've already got a pretty good alternative sound from the Koss A250(clean and fast, as opposed to the warm and full sound of...
