I'm not sure I have it anymore actually. But I love the UE10.  I have a nostalgic place for them.  They were my first serious investment into headphone land.  I joined HF back in 2007 in part because of them.   :)

I'd probably go with the the DT880.  Hopefully your amp is good for 600 ohms.  The K702 has a more interesting soundstage though.    Thank you :)

I've been living with the K812 and HD800S for some time.     Unlike many I don't think the HD800S is necessarily better. I would probably rank it just below the HD800 personally.  But they're very close, much in the way the HD600 and HD650 are.    The K812 probably would not be in the top 15...

i hope so too! probably won't be from me though.  The value of those headphones is more expensive than every headphone I own combined. I'm sure they're great.  I wish they were limited edition to make the resale value an option for those who even consider splurging. One of the great things about...

I've had ideas about opening an Audio Salon where people pay an hourly fee to listen to good audio gear with an extensive library of CDs.  :D

I can only imagine the aftermarket value of these headphones after they have been sold out.    The year is 2030 The place ebay (or ebay equivalent)   NOS HE1060 HEV1060..... Starting price: $300,000 USD

Uh oh

Hey there,   I apologize if I didn't respond. I actually don't have the K1000s any more.  Both sold

Regarding the HE-1000, it's definitely the headphone I wish I could squeeze in.  I haven't heard it at all.  I can't afford to continue the reviews due to present life expenses, but if Hifiman ever wanted to sell me one at a reduced cost to have it included in the review I would be open to it. ...

You're welcome! Always nice to hear the kind words

Just thought I'd comment here that www.headphones.com is under different ownership than when this thread was originally posted.  I am no longer affiliated with the company, but in response to the OP, yes they are legit company :)

The only way I could ever continue it is if manufacturers donated the headphones to me and I would only able to add about 5 per year.  I would never ask or expect this, but that's the only way I could afford to do it.  I still have more than half the collection to reference to.  If ever this...

Just an FYI   I managed to get a hold of someone yesterday and they told me that they are presently experiencing technical difficulties with regard to their email servers and phone lines.

No such luck. I've tried several times each day for the past 2 weeks. Emails and calls go unanswered. Is there any other route for contact? About a month ago I was able to reach someone and they helped me. But now I can't get thru to them and I'm left with an AK240 that doesn't work.

Does anyone have a successful way of reaching this company?

it's actually not the firmware.  The first card I opened was a definite lemon.  The second card seems to be working OK   Any idea when the 512 GB microdias will be out and where one can by them?

Regarding my situation, the card I bought (according to Sandisk) is a lemon.  It was not able to be reformatted.  I am trying the second microsd card now

At any point did you need to format the disc?

I'll format the card tonight and followup. Funnily, it worked at first and then stopped, so it may be a defective card. But again I didn't confirm it was FAT32 before loading it

I haven't reformatted yet, no.  I will do this tonight

It shows only a small percentage of the files I loaded onto the card.  I am going to reformat the card later and try once more. I also have a second card which I will try in order to confirm the card is not defective.    I loaded about 100 GB of music onto the card.  It shows about 6GB

Just wanted to put it out there, the 200GB micro sd has not worked on my AK240 so far.  Trying to troubleshoot in the meantime

I just wanted to post here that I'm selling my Orpheus / Aristaeus combo.  I will be leaving it open to head-fiers for about 3-4 weeks before I post it on ebay. My asking price is $22500.  It's in excellent condition, plus I have several new earpads and headbands to keep it in new condition...

  I didn't feel the MSB signature is particular warm, but it's not clinical either.  I've never had the luxury of A/Bing 20 DACs at once.  I doubt anyone has.I chose MSB because I really loved the Platinum DAC III that I used to own.  Also, as David Chesky uses the same DAC as me (or did at the...
