    HD 650, RS1, RS2 or GS1 with Stello HP100

    Hi, Guys, what SQ will I expect if I choose either one of those mentioned above to go with the amp? Listen mostly to smooth jazz, classic rock, electric blues and female vocals. Just looking for another flavor than the K701 . thanks in advance

    I dont care what anyone says...k501's are GREAT for metal/industrial

    Nice to hear that! Nothing's better than enjoying what you have and finding out it really works for you

    AKG K701 first impressions from a Grado user

    I put up my relatively new (around just 50 hours i think)k701 for sale thinking it was not for me. Then ,I let it burn for 5 days on 24/7 music playing with some deep weighty bass. On the 6th day a friend bought it. Before he took it away we both listened to it. Wow! dramatic transformation from...

    FLAC for PSP

    hi, I'm not sure if a query like this has been posted before, but is there a software available that can be installed in PSP to play FLAC files. Just wondering FLAC's should sound nice in a PSP.

    Any opinions out there on speakers that come close to sounding as good as your cans?

    Dimitris Quote: After owning my Cremona Auditors for a month I don't think I can go back to headphones again. I know my HD650 aren't the most detailed headphones however the level of detail coming out of the speakers doesn't even compare. Also soundstage is actually soundstage and not...

    How come all the ultra high end headphones have all been discontinued??

    K1000 is becoming much like the LS3/5A speakers.They used to cost around $500/pair(if i recall correctly) during the 80's but now they are selling at $1000+ ! One thing is sure though - they dont become classics for nothing

    warmish cables for k701

    quote Quote: You do need an amp to realise the capability of the K701. Burn-in alone won't make them shine as they are still nonetheless being insufficiently driven. Yes you're right I need a nicer amp. Already given up on the xcanver2 and returned it to the dealer. Xcan ver2 is...

    warmish cables for k701

    Read so many times k701 needs more than 300 hrs break in. Sometimes i want to give up on these phones but kept on telling myself - patience, patience . . . No kidding but an old and abused akg240m borrowed from a friend is actually sounding much better than my new k701 (at least to my ears)...

    warmish cables for k701

    I bet those all tube amps using tubes in the signal inputs and power output will really fleshed out the some times lean sounding bass of k701! Careful choice of amp and interconnects is much required to bring out the best qualities of these cans

    musicmind Quote: Lol botching, ur kidding about BB King I hope. BB King basically only plays solos and very tasteful ones at that. Not to mention that he can sing some beautiful blues too. I also hope i'm kidding but im not.It seems he knows just the basic blues chords and can...

    who's better: dickie betts or duane allman

    I used to believe it was Duanne doing the majority of solo's but after analyzing much of their albums and looking at their dvd concerts - it seems it is Betts whos doing most of the solos while duanne is the one working on those slide guitar riffs! I maybe be wrong though as i dont have all...

    warmish cables for k701

    thanks. Will do some research on the amps that you've just mentioned. I believe an all tube amp will be a good match to the k701 to to give more weight and density to the bass. Damn! getting synergy in a headphones setup is as challenging as when when using speakers! I also dont think that...
