?? I find it hard to believe that my pair with sn 74XX (second hand of course so I do not know its history) at some point got to be serviced and someone swapped the box. It would be expected to get new drivers in a sn below 4000 and end up with a bass light model, but still the box would be...

I don't think this is true in no way. Mine 74XX is in a black box, it has a multicoloured balanced cable, its filter looks like the left pic in the aforementioned comparison post but has a driver like the right pic.

I wouldn't know either. What I see is without disassembling them. It is clearly the left image and my serial is 74XX. To be honest I cannot get into understanding completely what the post describes in the pics and even more without opening them. But I believe that putting new drivers SHOULD...

having a look on the two pics side by side in this post (left 1XXX and right 5XXX) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/history-of-the-akg-k1000.57805/page-20#post-12126078 I noticed the differences in the printed circuit below the drivers which are more than obvious. My pair a 7XXX is a clone of the...

I would not be so sure.... anyway it is worth it...bass heavy or not

Who are you answering to? Heinz or me? I said that mine are 7*** black boxed... Don't know about his... Are black boxed considered bass heavy? I always have thought that bass heavy models were the ones up to around 45**

OK Buzz I understand (luckilly my 7### model (black boxed) has not shown such a behaviour) Monate harmonic distortion? does is have to do with a monthly behaviour maybe?

sorry what exactly do you mean by "no R&B"?

it happens that I use them mainly for critical listenings But even though I enjoy every minute of it when I take them off I find that my ears have lowered their threshold in mids by trying to adopt their response.   I must admit that my ears have a higher sensitivity in mids and upper...

I was wondering.... has anyone ever opened up both a sn say 3XXX and a 11XXX to check if they are completely the same inside?   Mine have a sn 07425 and I would say rather not Bass heavy. With low volume levels they are great. If the volume goes high I'd say the go the harsh way...

  Quote: my source outputs 2 Vrms. What I mean is that we know that a preamp (active that is) attenuates till 12 o clock and boosts after that point. I would feel safe if I was fiddling around 12 o clock. With this in mind I try to find something that will let me use that...

hmm let's see 1mW for 74db that is... 2mW for 77 4mW for 80 8mW for 83 16mW for 86 32mW for 89 64mW for 92 128 for 95 256 for 98 512 for 101 1W for 104   that is already loud. If we consider that we need at least twice as much to get that 1W clear, could we not...

Thanks for the welcome.   I don't know if here is the right place, but I would like to ask K1000 users to tell me their opinion on actually how many watts should an amp for them have... I mean with a 74dbW sensitivity, why shouldn't we be satisfied with 0.5 watt amps?   I am using at...
