with all the buying and selling going on here, it's interesting to know how far peopl's cans have gone, how many owners it has had, modding history and any unique events. my k1000s were bought from ttvj in 2005 by some1x, sent to moon audio in 2006 to be blue dragon hardwired, sold to seacard...

hi, i just got my super micro (HOORAY!!) and i wanted to know how to take the PCB out of the case. i got the black opaque case so icant see how its stuck on there. do i just yank it out? thanks a bunch!

hi, i'm trying out my rockboxed imod and there's this funny thing going on with the volume control in both the apple firmware and rockbox. in rockbox the volume goes from -73 to +6, when i set it to +6 bass on the right channel increases and there is distortion, like bumping up bass on an...

sounds great much better than Sf5pro: 1. comfort - superb. feels good even after 8 hours use. with the sf5pro, part of my earlobes hurt. fit is about 80% good, left fits perfectly, right breaks seal when mouth is wide open. may send it for adjustments. 2. sound b. t2 vs sf5pro vs hd65-...

hi, i broke my attenuator and i'd like to make a sturdier version myself. question is, how do i make one? i m thinking of making one like: female mini stereo -> wire -> resistors -> wire -> male mini stereo do the resistors go in series with the signal wires or parallel to ground or...

so, there's a hi-fi trade show running this weekend over here. it's in a hotel with different dealers and setups in each room. there was a huge amount of uber expensive gear all over the place. some brands i can remember of the top of my head: Cary, von schweikert, b&w, proac, dynaudio, BAT...

so, after being paranoid of getting dust in my oh so delicate k1000 drivers, i decided to do something about them today so i got some black knee length stockings, pair of scissors, a bag sealer, a needle and some thread... ... and came up with this: ok, ok, i can't sew to...

hi, NYC folks, i'll be in new york from nov 22 - 29 for a vacation. what would you guys recommend to do? any nice places or events that are characteristically new york? any nice live music events? thanks!

hi folks, from reading the threads on custom IEMS, it seems that the audiologist's experience in IEMs is a great factor in preventing fit issues. i'm heading to new york in a few weeks, can people with good experiences with their audiologists recommend me one in NYC? thanks!

hi guys, i'm planning to build a portable rig and i'm going the whole hog on this. so far i've planned the ff: iem: ue10pro (leaning towards a dark red right now... would this look good or look like my ears are bleeding?) amp: xin supermicro IV source: 60gb imod, will rockbox and...

i was walking around at a mall when i suddenly saw these: i was shocked.. wasnt expecting to see K1Ks in my country, much less an ordianry mall. its a pretty old pair, 6xxx serial. they looked dirty and even had a bit of old masking tape on the xlr jack. the horror! blasphemy! with heart...

hi diy gurus, I'm planning to make a passive stepped attenuator in the style of the EVS nude and endler shotgun in line attenuators. i'm planning to use 2x DACT CT 2 stereo attenuators for a balanced setup. what rating should i get? would a passive attenuator work with the ff specs...

hi, i'm going to stick some XLR connectors to my hd650 stock cable. thre's some enamel covering the wires though, what's the best way to remove this? scraping it off seems impossible as there are many very very fine wires... would flux burn this off?

fellow k1000 owners accross may threads about these phones poeple have stated that a) they have a missing octave b) they have bass rolloff at a particular frequency. From my experience and from posts of some other owners, the bass can be brought out with proper amplification. i propose...

hi guys, just some info i got from benchmark, Regarding the Volume Control: It is a stereo pot but is very carefully designed. We use a pot with a linear taper to improve tracking between the right and left channels. There is a right-left trim control inside the DAC1 that is used to...

while reading up on the emprical audio mods for the dac1, the following caught my eye: "The stock BNC is actually 50 ohms rather than the specified 75 ohms characteristic impedance. " is this true? i tried looking up the part number of the connector and the manufacturer's site does not...

just want to vent so i've been working on a k1000 rig for the past 4 months. spent 1 month just getting the cans, 2 weeks hunting for an amp and ended up finding a builder to make an amp, 1 month researching and sourcing the parts, 2 months putting everything together. on the day the amp...

hi, does anyone have experience with a transformer volume control amp/preamp vs a good stepped attenuator (ex. DACT)? i am considering something like this: http://www.promitheusaudio.com/tvc.htm it is just 400$ shipped even for the balanced version. this costs about as much as a DACT...

hi, i was giving my DAC1 an inspection and noticed a part in the manual that says there is a voltage selection switch in the fuse drawer. I took that out and looked around but can't find anything... the part that has the voltage printed on it (220 in my case) is just a piece of plastic...

hi, i'm getting a balanced power amp to run my K1000's and figured since i already have a balanced source and amp, may as well use them with the hd650. question is, would it be a good idea to hook the hd650 up to the power amp via bare wires to speaker posts? would this blow up the...
