ATH-M50 vs AKG K-271 MK II
I have both and actually prefer the K271 over the M50. The K271 provides better detail and the M50 has too much bass for me. I can understand why people would prefer the M50 as people also prefer Bose and Beats because they like that big boomy sound. Different strokes.- itsborken

Amazon.com ad is causing Head-Fi browser to respond extremely slow when it shows up.
Yes, this site is very slow and I don't visit that much either--the ads are horrendous. When all the other sites I visit on a daily basis snap and this one plods along, one can't blame it on the hardware or browser software--it's this danged ad-driven philosophy and the way this site is coded. ...- itsborken

amp for the Akg k701
I liked the Gilmore Lite with the K701s. If you can spring for another $50 you can pick one of a few AMB M3's on the for sale side with upgraded power supplies.- itsborken

Supernova about to give Earth a second sun

Meier Audio Concerto vs Headamp GS-1?
I can't comment on the Concerto but I've had the Opera and GS-1 and greatly preferred the GS's clarity. The waiting time for one to be built or listed is tough to endure but it is worth the wait.- itsborken

Upgrading a classic Canamp - K701 combo. Recommendations?
The Glite and M3 are pretty much equivalent as has been previously stated. The GS-1 has a little more power and gives it some depth, a GS-X is just overkill for 701s. I'd tend to agree that upgrading your source would give you the most benefit from what you've settled on so far.- itsborken

K702 / K701 Amp / DAC Suggestions Budget: $300-$400 total
Quote: Don't we all The Canamp, M3 and Gilmore Lite are pair well with the 701/702s. For anyone else sitting on the fence, there's some smoking good deals on glites in the for sale section too.- itsborken

Help with balanced cables...
XLR is generally used for long cable runs because it the signals put down the two lines are positive and negative signal which makes it noise cancelling. A single ended signal and constant ground doesn't have that characteristic and changing the termination at the ends of the cables doesn't do...- itsborken

Argument 'body' was specified empty.
Would you consider reopening the archive for new postings and disable the new setup until it is fixed? I've been trying for two days to pm the seller on an item and can never get this to work. This is quite annoying not being able to get in touch with the seller, and I'm guessing sellers are...- itsborken

What's your favorite computer keyboard?
Ditto, I got one for home and liked it so much I bought one for work too. When I get paged in the middle of the night that backlit keyboard is a godsend compared to being blinded by an overhead light after a deep sleep. The keys are a joy to type on; I thought I'd always want the full range...- itsborken

Why did the 1970's 'wood trim everywhere' fell out of favor?

newbie with the K702's -will they really get better or just louder with another amp?
Quote: Welcome to the K1000/electrostatics world. K1000 seems like a no-brainer since you have a balanced b22. They are not anywhere near as comfortable as the K701/702s though; such is the cost of chasing optimal sound.- itsborken

Why do sellers say 'CONUS only' ?
A good number of our Hallmark stores have post office windows with pretty short lines; I use them frequently for CONUS shipments. I have no idea if they will do the customs papers.
