I bought my stock k340 off of eBay Deutschland for $112 IN 2007,  IIRC.   The day they arrived I plugged them into my speaker amp (solely because it was the handiest amp with real power).  I was supposed to have left the house.......but couldn't pull myself away and continued to listen.   ...

Actually I posted the image here 9/22/08........since, removed it to make room in my Photobucket acct.

First thought: wimp Second thought: this is a stickup - hand me your money, my Paypal addy is .................. Third thought: girly-man

Funny you folks have these problems - really, a little creative bending done with Beyers, and Grado can easily be done. Both get bent to match, exactly, the confirmation of my head. HINT: if you bend each end of the headband to be relatively flat - it allows the headband to be bent closer in the...

Do it the easy way .......a Black and Decker drill with a 3/8 bit - just push it all of the way in 'til you can see thru the other side

You must all be aware the headband can be stretched to conform to your head like all of the other top-tier Beyers.

Have Grado do it, or Larry at Headphile. You want to stick with pure Copper for them. Personally, I prefer Larry's BlackTop cable - I have it on my modded HF-2's.

I got 3 HF-2 and eventually had them all modded into Vixen - and they are keepers.....along with my RS-1, and HP-2.....besides my Beyer mods. The only thing possibly left for me would be T1.

True, these aren't Darths - but are Vixen (v.3 Amboyna Burl/Blacktop cabling) which have HF-2 drivers ............but I think of this as much a Larry page as a Darth page. Here are the "traditional" pre-delivery pics that Larry sent me: These are my third pair...alas, no more HF-2's

Why not? It is selling the realm of what you should expect to pay, and the seller has a sufficient feedback score. However, if you are located in the USA - I would refuse to pay the exorbitant shipping charge. .....eg - if you sent them Priority mail at the USPS - you'd expect to pay aprox...

My recollection is that Cesar used Nichicon's (I believe), and introduced use of Blackgates in Portaphile when he introduced the Maxxed version........anyhow a very good amp - particularly when some 'phones need bass help.

Not all Blue Circle SBH are two piece.......they build, on order a one piece version - so I can't imagine there would be any significant difference with placement. If you already have the 2 piece version - why wouldn't you try it and listen for yourself. I have the all-in-one or one piece and...

The Portaphile Maxxed does one of the best jobs with k271 - makes them seem as if they aren't bass-shy at all. However, it does tend to eat batteries. I used it with a wallwart, so that was never a concern for me.

Once upon a time I had a pair of K271S and never had a breakage problem with them - but sold them because their sound was below par for me (kept k240s a lot longer). Even then, their lack of bass was immeasurably aided by a Portaphile.

No, it is not actually wood - but simply a finish as is the "carbon" choice.
