KSC-35s bass heavy?
An archive search doesn't turn up much, so here goes: does anyone else think that the KSC-35s are bass heavy? As in, *very* bass heavy? I just received my pair, so these aren't broken-in or anything, but initial impressions are that they are quite bass-heavy indeed, almost like a caricature...- Alleria

Next step up from JMT Cmoys?
I have a JMT-built Cmoy with the 470 uF cap upgrade, and I'm looking for suggestions as to my next amp upgrade? Headphones are the Sennheiser HD-600s w/ Red Clou, and the Ety 4S/4Ps (have both pairs.) Like to keep budget under $350 if possible, although not strictly so (i.e. if you know of...- Alleria

Official Ety 4P->4S conversion cable?
Is this available? If not, does anyone have info on the timeframe? It seems like it's been long in the making. Nothing against Fixup: I just want something that's not merely offically sanctioned, but official, period.- Alleria

Do K1000s work well with MicroZOTL? Other amp suggestions?
Well, the title pretty much says it all. Archive searches haven't turned up useful information, so I'm turning to all of you! I'd really like to try out the K1000s, as I have this lingering feeling that soon in my life I won't have space for my full-blown speaker setup for quite a while, and...- Alleria

JMT Cmoy design battery question
How do I know batteries need changing? Instructions say 'static or distortion', but I'm not sure precisely what to look for. I've been on this set for ~15 hours or so now. (Duracells) Is degradation in high-end speed and detail a sign that I need a battery change? I've not noticed volume...- Alleria

Ety power handling and other questions
Odd question: how loud can the drivers (mechanically) go? Hard to measure, I agree. In general, is it one of those things where if I'm not in pain, the drivers are not in pain? Or is it possible to overdrive these accidentally? I normally listen around 60-80 dB. I also have some other dumb...- Alleria

Ety extension?
5 foot cord is killing me. Need to find extension, 10 to 15 feet. Price not an object. What's the best commercial offering, say, from Headroom? Have browsed past threads with limited success for information. Am thinking of DIY (have a thread going in the DIY forum as well.) Input? Thanks...- Alleria

Headphone Extensions
Hi All, I'm in need of an extension for my Etymotics -- the 5 foot cord is killing me. I've looked at prices for extensions out there, and they are, um, *expensive.* I'm willing to spend the money, but I want to do better for that cash outlay. Do any of you have suggestions for what *the* best...- Alleria

Ety questions
First, if an amp can drive HD-600s nicely, does that mean that it will drive the 4P's just fine as well? I'm using the headphone out on my integrated amp right now (a reference Marantz), and like it lots with the Senns, to be more specific. How about bad sources? I've found even horrible...- Alleria

AKG-K1000 questions -- help out a poor newbie
Hi All, I'm looking into the AKG-K1000s based on all the raves I've been hearing. If it's really better than the HD-600s (which to my ears are very impressive already), then I'm there! But after reading <A HREF="http://head-fi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=436&highlight=akg+and+1000...- Alleria
