    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    So, I decided to refoam my ep's tonight and look at them closer, and noticed something... the grill on the ep is also on a mp, then there are other mp's with the latter grill, found on the lp's... to further confuse things, the ep and eMp(?) share a 4 wire cable, and one of the newer grilled...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    Hey man, great video on these! It inspired me to go for the 3 of them as well. I'm starting to wonder, though, if there was a forth... I have a set of MPs with tighter soundstage, seemingly faster drivers, a little less of that sextett magic syrop... sounding more the LP, but with red baffle...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    What is with the hair tonic! lol... I have 2 MP sets that reek of the stuff too. I enjoy the K140's quite a bit as well... my older set seems to have a touch of sextett vibe, in spite of a lack of radiators... I think I may have read they have the same drivers... maybe here in this thread...

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    Thanks! I've been into K240's for a while. They were my first 'real' studio headphone, when I bought my MKii's in the 90's. I'd gathered a few more over the years, but had been dying to hear the sextetts. 20 years pass and one day I found a set on kijiji in Calgary... I don't live anywhere near...

    Accidentally pierced dampening paper in my Beyerdynamic's driver, help!

    For what its worth 8 years later... I've done a lot of messing around with dampening material on vintage AKGs and although I've never been trained in this, I can assure with great confidence that the paper dampening us not a dust cover. The material blocks large amounts of air movement, while...

    AKG K141 - replacing earpads

    A few days late, but I just checked... The pleather pads (same size I assume) fit on the earcups in a loose, but fully contacted way... the full rim of the pad touches the outer edge of the earcup, but there is no lip to hold the pad in place... it sits better if you leave your old pads in...

    AKG K240 DF - Disassembly - Driver Question

    I recently bit the bullet on this set of headphones that I've been wanting to get to know for a long time. I found a great deal on a set missing badges... after talking to the seller, they actually had badges and sent me 2 left badges to glue on if I wanted to. A little suspect, but ok. I...

    Review by 'BigMikeBass' on item 'AKG K44'

    I have a set of AKG K240'a and a set of AKG K271's (originals) and I'm looking into buying 6 sets of AKG K44's. I run a home based studio where I record and mix indie bands. In a studio setting there are 3 general uses for headphones and, ideally, you want 3 different types for those uses...
