AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?
Did you end up buying anything? I have some spares kicking about if you want to experiment? I have some memory foam sheepskin which I keep going back to and new genuine AKG ones. I just sold my MP and K340 so have more pads than my LP needs and had multiples of each. Let me know and I will...- 477621

Wow! Sennheiser HD 540 Reference are so good.
I got a pair of these. Ref 1 600's last month. I am in love with them. My one gripe was that the headband was a bit itchy where it had split slightly. Mrs Mouse kindly knitted me a cover using thin paracord. These are now my go to headphones. Comfy and sound awesome. I am using the same lamb...- 477621

AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?
I contacted AKG who gave me a number for a company which turned out to be retail facing (Soundtech) but they put me on to the consumer facing supplier (EMS/Electronic Music Services I think). I do not keep emails so cannot be certain but repeating what I did will give a similar result or just...- 477621

Do you track your audio purchases?
I tend to track the bargains and share those with the wife. The rest just appears and is silently merged in to the herd. I played in bands for around twenty years and used to have lots of great gear coming in and out all the time. Headphones are so much easier to file away without drawing too...- 477621

Sennheiser HD250 Linear Impressions Micro-Thread
I'm so glad you got the same wow moment from them. I would like to claim I bought them on spec but it was pure chance trying to get my Sextett and K340 to sound and feel better. I paid over the odds for some Dekoni memory foam ones myself, as it stands they work great with my Sextett LP. The...- 477621

Sennheiser HD250 Linear Impressions Micro-Thread
That doesn't surprise me, i still want to hear them even though I am 99% sure I would not pay that much. I played in bands for around 20 years including recording other bands. I am looking for real tones from the headphone game. I would rather switch headphones than use an eq as I find frequency...- 477621

Sennheiser HD250 Linear Impressions Micro-Thread
I love the 250's. They and my 565's are all the Sennheiser that I think I need. I wish I knew someone close to me who had the 800S as the 250 and 565 have seen off all other modern Senns up to the 700. I work from home and wear headphones all day, my office is in my loft/attic. I often start my...- 477621

Sennheiser HD250 Linear Impressions Micro-Thread
Just popping in to share a recent find. I have tried various pads on my Linear 1, beyer m pads, dekoni, AKG pleathers but my original pads always felt the best but sounded lacking due to seal failure thanks to cracking. These are very close to the stock feel, but they seal well even with...- 477621

Grace Design x Massdrop m9XX DAC/Amp Review: First Impressions
That explains why you are listening so much louder than I am. That plug puts it in High Power mode. Goes from sounding good to sounding great. Much more headroom.- 477621

Grace Design x Massdrop m9XX DAC/Amp Review: First Impressions
You listen a bit louder than I do, but yes, I agree otherwise that it is a great little box. It even drives my thirsty K340's convincingly.- 477621

Grace Design x Massdrop m9XX DAC/Amp Review: First Impressions
I use the same setup for my evening listening but while working have the M9XX in front of my Slee ULDE. I agree it drives the Anni very well. Which Anni have you got, flat pad or angled? Mine are the flat ones. 600 ish serial.- 477621

FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.
It works. Sound is noticeably stronger than 3.5. Checked with a multimeter and connections as expected. I use my Q5 as line out only, I just wanted to try this. My headphone amp is my Slee.- 477621
