Yeah I lot of stuff does still get released on vinyl it's just that most stores don't carry it.

I am in to Bill Evans. Dave Brubeck is awesome too.

I was in a good mood and drinking heavy beers. **** happens.

Been producing and djing dubstep for about 3 years now. I have a new digi only label. Check it out Savory Audio - Dubstep. Next release is going to drop in about a week. You can find links to the download store from the release section by the way.

What kind of music are you into or planning on playing? I have been djing for about 12 years first dnb and now dubstep. I started out on vinyl and decks because that was the only way to do it back then. Now I use Torq with control vinyl and decks. My recommendation which might be controversial...

Crap I can't read this whole thread right now. This amp is looking promising for my k702's but what about Sextett? I need one amp for both.

Yeah just listening to a super clean copy of Steely Dan's Greatest Hits on vinyl through my Sextetts. Belgiuns in the glass. After the Stillerz win tomorrow, you can kill me

I have k702 and late production sextetts. The k702 wins every category imo. I don't think my sextetts have more bass maybe about the same below 80hz seems like they have a little boost in the kick drum area 80hz to 120hz roughly. They say the earlier models have more though and mind you I am...

Everyone is going to tell you you need bass heavy cans but if they music is bass heavy to begin with I don't think it is necessary. I produce dubstep on k702s I have to say it sounds great through those cans.

I just got a pair. I guess they are late because they have the white radiators but the headband has the holes so I guess they aren't late late haha. 1980 you think?

You I thought the bumps looked sweet in the promo pictures. That is really the only reason I can see for having them in the first place. I can't think of any other headphones that have bumps like that. Not even any other AKG's. For good reason apparently. The idea that they make you sweat less...

I have the 8 bump 702's. They get uncomfortable after a while too. They don't hurt my head but after about 2 hours I notice them. I really don't want to be thinking about the bumps on my headphones while I am in the middle of mixing a tune. I haven't seen the 701 and 702 side by side but it...

I don't even remember what crap headphones I had when I was younger but I had crap. Recent history though the worst was defo MDR-V500. I bought them because I thought I lost my MDR-V600's which I use for Djing. I thought the v500's would sound similar to the v600. Not even close. Luckily I found...

If I had to pick, speakers defo. I can't afford to have the ideal set up for either however. I have a couple pairs of decent cans tho. Going to buy an amp eventually. Next on the list is to DIY myself a set of Fostex speakers.

I need to find a new system. Get the cable up in the air somehow. I keep running over mine with the chair too and I am not a small man.
