Yep. My home setup is what I've always wanted sound wise. Although I plan to upgrade the amp when I get the extra money.

Stax, electrostatic headphones are known for their detail.

I own it up with my K-1000's hehe. But I've tried iem's, my Stax SR-001's exactly, and they were great for pin pointing where the enemy was in CS (both 1.6 & CSS).

Now that's settled. How do you pronounce ... AKG?

I was thinking about the E500, but looking at this thread I don't think they'd work in the wet Seattle weather. Is it really that big of an issue??? Just a little moisture and they're done?

They need to be recabled with Valhalla to sound their best, after this ... iBuds > All. It's just a fact guys

Isis, Pelican, maybe Sunn 0))), Opeth, My Dying Bride. Just a few I can think of at the moment. Oh, screaming, that cancels out Isis. Once you eventually get used to screaming/growling/gurgling vocals, check Isis out, they own.

Quote: Originally Posted by Fitz I emailed them to ask if they have them in stock, but I haven't heard back yet. Ah ok. Hey .... K-2000....??? You getting those? I've always been interested in what they might sound like, you know, them being the followup to the K-1000

I found a wig stand on ebay, which is a glass life sized human head ... I just couldn't resist. That's what I use as my K-1000 stand.

I was just looking for some of those headphones in your list and came across the K-1 ............ you don't have that do you?

Next thing you'll be doing is giving them "pet names", you haven't done that already have you?
