YES! it does.. many thanks.. I now have a AKG K701 + DT990 Pro with the PB1+DB1 setup..   I think I'm going to get another pair down the line and balance that out + get another desktop amp just for the K701s and the DT990s.. I realized I don't need the portability, I'm always listening to...

Hi All,   In a whim I bought the PB1 and DB1 combo and now I'm trying to match them with a pair of balanced headphones. I currently have DT 880 pro 250ohms loaned to a friend so trying to budget something out for myself.   The problem is - I've not owned balanced headphones before and...

hi all, last time i was here - i was a clg student who had saved up 60 bux for a mdr v6.. best 60 bux ever spent.. those sob's grew up on me like anything.. having owned philips hp 890's (Y did they stop making them, I wud buy those again and again)... it was just too drastic of a change...

Hi Ray, If I'm in the queue for the pre-order plz add me for a red one with gold ends and a gold knob.. I'll build everything around the amp. Thanks a lot, Nik EDIT: PS - It's 9.52pm PST 11/30. Let me know if I made the pre-order deadline.

And the seller - I've heard of it before - though you might not have heard about me before they were on slickdeals.net a while back - for some graphic card deals..

I just ordered the DT990PRO ( 250 ohm ) too.. for 210$ - hopefully live cashback will go through and it will be 150$ in the end.. This is my first foray into xpensive headphone.. yes 200$ is EXPENSIVE - especially with the economy going down the drain.. I've a question for you and...

Okay.. time to rethink.. been quite sometime now since i owned this baby.. i just found the best way to enjoy them- have u tried 'nothing but you - paul van dyk'.. here do this - take few shots of [put ur favorite drink here] till it just starts too hit, nt too much.. wear on V6.. tweak the...

Where can I get the pads from?? and by source I guess you mean, what are they plugged into.. I've them hooked up with my PC.. I own an iPod, bt it's a 3rd gen one and I don't listen to it anymore.. especially since the battery gave up on me.. and yeah, what I meant by tweaking the treble was...
