Quote:          lets not make silly patriotic credibility points, because i find your school boy heroics redundant, I never said mastering was not more important than bitrate, bit depth, and never ever said frequency range and I completely agree with you that mastering is very important ...

hi head-fi community, recently i had a encounter on youtube about file formats, so why not discuss the importance of file formats KBS, Frame, Bit rates right here we can ALL probably tell the difference between a mp3 to a WAV file, but what about when it gets difficult for some to...

Quote: i use words like "dull' "stale" "pale" "murky" saying flat is misleading to ones unfamiliar to headphones and their  FR spectrum, it gives flat headphones/amps/speakers a bad orientation, and is bad since they are many flat headphones and since flat headphones are the ones that...

Quote: lets forget my rude comment, okay bud:) and lets move on,  Anyways how did you find my comparison, have anything to add? have any problems with it? because i can fix it in no time if i have made mistakes and i am prepared to discuss why i said what i said, and why i think it it...

Quote: I did a test 3 months ago just to confirm the burn in process is real( which i already had faith in) just to prove cynical people that think that the burn in theory is baloney, i had 2 pairs , one was burning in for to reach 200 hours and the was going to be kept is virgin for A-B...

Quote: okay, Woah lets take 3 steps back, I wasn't putting any context to my statement it was a joke i REALLY REALLY don't need to calm down because i'm not even  the slightest mad nor aggravated, I called potable amps gay because they are pathetic compared to ground/ ones you plug on...

Quote: they actually make it not seal fully deliberately, if you press them on your ears and make a good seal it won't be as transparent or clear and the upper register fades a bit, although the bass is nicer, but when you just were it normally.... well i think you know already 

Quote:                you seem like a headphone "Extremest" (Greenhorn cough cough Newbie Cough Cough) likes punchy solid bass with so called a "crystal clear treble" i will tell you straight up you will not like AKG, take my advice with the burn in, hope thats helps, and if you are not...

                                                         AKG 271 VS AKG 240 COMPARISON CHART                                                                    HEADPHONE & SETUP STATUS                                              AKG K271 and AKG K240 BOTH have 200 hours( burned in with...

Quote:                  i do consider the 240's a bit warmer, due to the extra ambience the open back design offers, but they are a bit wooly and muddy and overall just uncontrolled and sometimes just Too warm and Too full, further leading to burying things in the mix, while the 271's are...

Quote: YES, i though i was alone, Man, why did i get a defective pair?

Quote: i Thought i was the only one, jeez i wonder if i can get a free replacement pair for this bugged headphone?

Quote:   thanks for the info jan, although i need to think about this purchase, (see if there are any other amps at this price i might want), i will consider to buy this amp highly CHEERS

Quote: So now that i know which one to buy, where would i go to and much does a unit cost (quickstep), can you hook me up Jan?

 THANK YOU, although they are different prices and the pc step is cheaper, i will now consider to go buy the quickstep, since now i know the pc step is inferior of sound quality towards the quickstep, i was just considering the pc step since you can use the usb  as a power source, and...

Quote: hi  since you have ties with the company meier,  i liked to ask you which one is better the pcstep or the quickstep, i only considered the pcstep since it has the usb power option (i have a potable charger so i don't need to rely on battery when used as a potable, since my...

i really looking in to this, how does it sound, warm? bright? does it got alot of juice for something like the akg q701's, let me know, thanks

Quote: sry for the late rply, anyways although im not the biggest metal fan, i do like  punk rock and alot of indie/rock and my taste are extremely diverse, so taking it from me might not be the most trusty source but, the sony mdr v6 is better than BOTH the 240's and 271's and don't need...

Quote: for me, the k240 are just get the nod for musical purposes, but the k271 is proficient as well as musical and maintains more dynamic control and has a more broadband dynamic range as well as  far superior imaging and soundstage and instrument seperation as well low extension and not...

Yeah, there is no question they were decent as well as good, since back when we didn't have anything else to use when headphone amps didn't exist and since the industry wasn't so " money hungry " and about all about selling out. But in this generation is different, it's all about selling out and...

Quote: well okay they sound OKAY but for the money? you clearly haven't conceived that receivers can be very expensive and at the same time headphone amps almost all the time perform better and are ALOT CHEAPER and yeah my i do agree marrantz sticks out of the bunch when it comes to using...

hey guys make sure to tell me what you guys think, not to be needy or anything, or if you guys have any questions feel FREE  to ask

bounjour, hi-fi community            Before you even start doing these three mods MAKE SHURE YOU BURN IN YOU K271 FOR 200HOURS!!!!!!NOT WITH MUSIC EITHER!!!! or else it will render some of these mods pointless!! i did my burn in with pink, white noise with 2 frequency sweeps running all at...

hey hifi community lately i have been alternating cables (since they identical terminations) between my q701 and k271(same cable as k702) and the difference came to me in the first listen, since (not to be modest or anything) i and my fellow audiophiles around town believe i have "golden ears"...

i use tape
