    AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!

    My K601 cable frayed at the earcup attachment point and the yellow wire inside is detached, so the left channel doesn't work. Otherwise it's fine.   There are two options, aside from selling as defective: replace original cable or mod with a K702 type. Does anybody do cable replacement or...

    Durable, child-proof headphones

    They do look durable. Anything maybe slightly less durable for a lot less than $100? I've found it prudent to pay not much money for instruments for the munchkins so far because they get real excited at first but it wears off in an instant. Hopefully attention span will grow as they do.

    Durable, child-proof headphones

    Need to buy new phones for Christmas. Recipients are 4- and 6-year-old lively music lovers for whom I have bought a digital keyboard. For the parents' sake I will also provide headphones so the tykes can play to their hearts' content without driving mommy and daddy up the wall.    So not sonic...

    Reply to review by 'renlute' on item 'Sennheiser HD 700 Headphone'

    I was straightforward about what I heard and how. Is this an exhaustive review? No. But a serious impression. Back and forth between the Senn and the old AKG K-340. I said it was surprising what I heard. But I also suggested that the reader not simply take my word for it but go listen and...

    :sunrise: Official 2015 SF Head-Fi Meet Impressions Thread

    Yes, Eddie's two-seat table was directly across from one end of the much longer Schiit table, the end closest to the egress door, and Eddie was perpendicularly just one two-seat table away from the Woo Audio table at that end of that room.At the other end of the Schiit table, I don't know which...

    Review by 'renlute' on item 'Sennheiser HD 700 Headphone'

    At the San Francisco Bay Area Head-Fi meet this afternoon I met one of the guys behind the Woo Audio tables, who encouraged me to try my old AKG K-340 on the Woo WA7 amp at the table. He said he owns several AKG models himself including the K-340 and assured me it would perform very well. He...

    :sunrise: Official 2015 SF Head-Fi Meet, July 18, 2015, Doubletree San Francisco Airport

    OK, sounds good, sign me up as probable.   FOR SALE: I'll bring a set of classic AKG K340s for sale. I have too many phones that I am not using (but I do use my second pair of 340s).   QRV-07 HEAPHONE AMP KIT: I'd also like to bring an almost-assembled headphone amp kit that I bought 5 years...

    Quote: As I recall from past meets, there were a lot of inadvertent cute matching outfits. Jeans and T-shirts.

    SF Bay Area Meet on Sunday February 17, 2013 (the one which is really going to happen)

    Quote: That's real bad news, first Eddie Current and now Schiit is out. (But sorry about the production glitch.) I was thinking of testing and maybe buying a new amp. You guys have the most appealing array of amp/dac gear I've seen.

    Quote: If you look right under the big header for this thread, there's a search function "Search This Thread." Type in LCD3 and you'll find a couple mentions. It appears that at least one attendee plans to bring his unit.

    SF Bay Area Meet on Sunday February 17, 2013 (the one which is really going to happen)

    Just checking in to head-fi after months of absence. Sounds like an awesome meet. Put me down as probable for walking around (no table). I can bring a pair of K-340 oldtimers, one Electrostat and the other Electrostatic. I bought them impulsively after the last meet I attended but have never...

    Reply to review by 'renlute' on item 'Coby Lightweight Stereo Headphones CVH47 (Black)'

    Hey RD, I admire your chutzpah for reviewing a $2 headphone on an audiophile forum where most members would be afraid to admit publicly that their phones cost less than $200. Remarkable imagery here. I try to imagine the sound of one hundred elephants farting in unison in a gymnasium. Our K340s...

    comparing K601 and K701

    I don't know about recabling, never tried it, but my impression of my K702 vs my K601 is the opposite of a couple above. I just tried listening A/B to passages from a DVD of the ballet La Bayadere (Orchestra of the Opera de Paris) and a youtube video of luthier Wayne Henderson playing the Steel...
