I will tweak my Trends finally. Mainly because there is swtich on the L.D. and I don't want plug and unplug each time that I listen music by my phone or by my speaker. Thanks for all.

I have received an email from David sooner tonight. He asked to all my questions. Now, I must decide if I buy the L.D. and sell my Original Master or if I tweak my Trends TA-10.1 and I keep my headphone amp.

Thanks a lot ethebull. I will wait for some tube rolling suggestion to fit with my AKG headphone.

Hi I have just finished to read this post and I was amazed by your, not only fantastic review Penchum, but it is very professionnally made too. I want replace my Original Master Headphone amp by this L.D. MKII because I want to use it as preamp too with my little Trenad TA-10.1 and I what...

Excuse-me I have made a transfer my reply int the appropritate post. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/rev...5/index17.html

I have a " young " less than one year AKG K701 and an " old " 1989 Sennheiser HD540 Reference.

I have never heard the K 1000 but I'm a happay owner of K701. These cans are very good. If you have a good source ( mine is a NAD S500i ) and good amp ( I have an Original Master ), good interconnect and good recording the 701 will sing very well. the 701 are very neutral. Someones find the bass...

I have 701 and if you read some professional reviews, you will see that the 701 are very neutral, musical and easy to listen. It's one of the best deal on the market. I don't have listen the other choices and I can't give my advice on them for this reason.

I have an Original Master Headphone Amp with my 701 and I'm very sarisfied. the bass is good, the voices are real and the highs are clear but not agressives. It's a real pleasure to listen different kind of music with them. Best of all, the Original is cheap. Only 200.00$USD. Naturally they are...

Il have a 701 since one month and I'm very satisfied. They are plays continuously during 400hrs. 701 matches very well with my Original Master headamp and my NAD S500i cd player. The NIN " Donward the spiral " never sound so good. Lots of informations and details. Material sound. Musical and...

It's not an arguement! It's a fact. Vul Kuolun. The actual science doesn't know all and more important can't explain everyhing. For me it's not important to convince you. I can hear the difference and it's possible that you can't.

I don't know if it exist a scientific explanation, theory or research. I can hear a difference. It's what I know. Can I quantify this difference? No. Because it's a difference in quality. Not in quantity. The science can't explain everything. Maybe the science will explain that in the future...

Hi everyone! It's my first post here. ( I'm french-canadian and I speak english just a little bit. Excuse-me if what I write is not always easy to understand. ) I want to give a non-scientific answer to Jon Kuolun. For me the power cord play the same role that the gas station for...
