anyone know where i can get a new elastics band for the akg k240? and how to replace them?

anyone try these or have pictures? tried a search on google and came up with nothing. i'm wondering if they are worth getting - i would assume they can be put on the k240's also? or am i wrong?

like the title suggests - i am planning to get an akg 702. right now i have LD mk3 but from reading seeing that it would not be the best amp for the 702s. i'm going to be keeping the mk3 to pair with my 580s but still would need another amp for the 702s. i'd like to keep costs as low as...

is this a good combination? i'm going to be getting a pair of 702 in the near future but want to make sure that they will sound good with my mkIII.

i made a mini-rca cable and everything checks out when i tested with the DMM but when plugged, i only get audio in one side. anyone have an idea this might be? i'll post pictures of the joints when i get home. but if there was a cold joint, is it possible for the dmm to register continuity while...

So i've listened to a few iems so far and using the ie7 right now, which i do enjoy quite a bit. but since i've gotten my yuin pk's that's pretty much all i listen to. reason being that compared to other iem's (including the ie7) i've listened to, the yuin pk's, to me at least, have a much...

anyone know anything about this amp? saw a FS post and just wondeirng if anyone has any experience with this amp... tried searching but got no results.

has the cable on the pk1 been changed? i bought and returned a pair of pk1 maybe 3 months ago and remember distinctly the y-split being too long (one of the reasons i returned it). but i just recently bought a pair of pk1 from another member here (with very good feedback) who said he recently...

anyone have recommendations? looking for some flexible 26 or 28 awg copper stranded wire.. i have some spooner silver plated copper which is by far the most flexible wire i have ever used but it is too thick.

Need some thoughts - would a portable amp really benefit me? my source - ipod classic (latest version out) with ie7's. if there will not be enough of an improvment i can't justify an amp but if there will be a noticeable (not talking night and day - preferably, but i'm sure it wouldn't be that...

I was recommended to raise my RC-10s about 6 inches or so off my desk and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where i can get speaker stands for such a purpose. Thanks

i was wondering if any knows any alternative tips - maybe some finer tips - that i could try with the hakko fx-901 soldering iron? thanks. hopefully someone can give me some suggestions.

I read in the manual that if circuit revision 2, then you can use 6h30 power tubes. how can you tell what revision it is?

anyone else think the y-split is just too long?? i like the length of y-split on the pk2 much more.. any suggestions for this? they don't even have one of those things to control the y-split that most earbuds/iems have.

Just wondering what kind of cable is needed for RCA-RCA interconnects. I have seen lots of people using coax cable and I was wondering if that's absolutely necessary or a big improvement over using plain old starquad. I would be using these interconnects to connect the output from my littledot...
