    k1000 owners club

    Happy to see that you got the 'black box' version with guaranteed early low SN or Prototype with the 'better' bass impact. I've been listening to my Sennheiser HE 60s for the past few months - think I'll switch to my K 1000's to start the new year. An incomparable listening experience.

    KOSS ESP-950 Thread

    Thanks - I am using correct voltage. The Fuse and tubes are fine. I'll check around for a tech Bryan

    KOSS ESP-950 Thread

    Anyone know where I can get my Stax SRM-T1 serviced? I love(d) this amp, but it's not currently working. I'd love to get it up and running again.

    Would be nice to read a side by side comparison to the penultimate Blue Hawaii.

    Jade II Discussion

    Buy the KGSSHV, you won't be disappointed. I'm using mine to power my Sennheiser HE60 and a variety of Stax phones. My Jade 2 experience wasn't a good one. The amp died after only a couple of years, and the phones themselves wore out quite quickly.

    How does dust get into a sealed closed box?

    Head-Fi Meet - Toronto GTA (Markham), Sunday June 25, 2023

    Hey my friends - great memories come to mind as I read these posts and recognise many head-fiers from past meets. I'd love to be there, however my health has declined and I'm now in end-stage COPD. I'm pretty much house bound and no longer drive. I'd be appreciative if someone can take and...

    [Interest Check] Toronto Head-Fi Meet

    Hi Thomasr: I can symphasize with your frustration. It's not the same as when we had our resident Russian Pavel hosting most meets at his central condo location. (those were the days!) Ever since he moved several years ago we've had difficulty getting someone to host and deliver a meet. Keep...

    KOSS ESP-950 Thread

    That's what I love about the Koss ESP=950. They are the last and only headphone that they guarantee for life - no questions asked. Instead of repairing the phones they always just exchange them for a brand new unit. One of my favourite mid-priced amps is the Stax SRM -T1 (Vacuum Tube output)...

    Sennheiser HE-60 ''The Legendary Baby"

    Welcome to the HE-60 club, you won't be disappointed. Question - if they were "kept inside the box for 30 years", where did the dust come from? If the box was closed for 30 years the only source of dust would be from the inside some 30 years ago not the outside where dust originates, therefore...

    Sennheiser HE-60 ''The Legendary Baby"

    Just pull the old ones out and put the new ones in. The ear pads are held by thin plastic teeth. With a little force, the ear pad will come off ... then just snap the replacement pads inplace. Enjoy your HE 60's {or as it says on the side of my official Sennheiser HE 60 flightcase ...

    [Interest Check] Toronto Head-Fi Meet

    Hey greyhorse, It's been quite awhile since I've been at a meet {last time was at Pavels apartment before he moved}. I'd love to attend a headphone meet - - with a caveat. My COPD has progressively worsened and I recently had a minor stroke --- so it will be dependant on my health at the time...

    Looking for a 4.4mm Female to 6.35mm Male mm Male Connector

    It's been a little while since I've been active on Head-Fi due to health issues, but I'm back and with a request. I recently purchased a replacement headphone cable for my well-used {and loved} HD 800's. Due to a misunderstanding about the connector size 1/8 or 1/4 inch I got the wrong...
