I've never tried it on headphone cups before, but I've had excellent success using T-Cut to remove scratches from plastics in the past.

Just returned from the Apple Store (Norwich) with a pair - I'm breaking them in as I type, listening to a 320 AAC rip of Jimi Hendrix's Valleys of Neptune (through an Apogee Duet) - sounds very nice. Bass is forceful and deep, not as deep as my pair of Denon AHD-2000s, but a faster, more...

Received mine today from HiFi Headphones UK, to replace an iBasso D2+ Boa. Connected via USB to an iMac as source playing Apple Lossless encoded files, and outputting to an iBasso P3+ Heron headphone amplifier via an iBasso CB01 interconnect, and using Denon AH-D2000 headphones... The...

Bought two pairs, both from Electromonster. First pair around a year ago; the other just before Christmas…£179.99 inc. P&P both times... Just noticed that he is selling them for £209.99, with a £9.99 P&P charge. Stoneaudio were selling them for £199.99 just before Christmas…up to £255 now.

Probably not...you'll probably end up getting it around £20 cheaper from overseas, if the P&P is inclusive in the £136 price.

By the time you've factored in P&P and Customs Duty, you're probably better off getting them from the UK…there won't be too much of a price difference, and you'll get the piece of mind of a relatively local company in case things go wrong. Russ Andrews are a stockist, and have the Cute Beyond...

I use an Arcam rDock with excellent results: rDock Costs around £130. Rob.

Thanks...I've placed an order for a couple of different ICs, which I hope, will tame the system a little, and add a bit of 'warmth'. I have also purchased a pair of ALO re-cabled K701s (thanks Amos), and will shortly be sending my original K701s off for a Kimber Kable HC-1 re-cable. These...

Thanks for the information guys. I'm wondering if a change of headphone amplifier would prove more beneficial rather than replacing the headphones. I've never heard the combination of the AKG K-701 and a tube headphone amplifier, but a number of people have commented on the synergy of this...

Hi guys, After a little advice… My system consists of the following: An Apple iPod classic, connected to an Arcam r-Dock A Cyrus CD6S CD player Atlus Equinox II RCA interconnects for both sources Graham Slee Solo (2008) headphone amplifier AKG K-701 headphones (Stock, no...

Hi guys, Can any UK Mac users email me the iPod classic 1.0.3 firmware files, please? They should reside in the /User/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates folder, and are two files named: iPod_24.1.0.3.ipsw.signature iPod_24.1.0.3.ipsw The signature file is 4kb in size, the main...

What sources are you likely to be using with the headphones? If their sound signature is lean, taut and nimble, then the HD 650 headphones would suit more than the K 701 headphones, IMHO.

Thanks Jahn, That's a very good alternative - only problem is the lack of iPod charging, but as I'm unlikely to have a 15 hour listening session, that may not be insurmountable. I have the iPod Radio Remote, so may try it as an option, depending on how close I end up sitting to the system...

Hi All, I'm after a little advice and opinion... I've just bought a pair of AKG K 701 'phones...and have been very surprised with their performance connected to my 5G 60GB iPod (even with iTMS bought tracks.) So much so...that I think I may abandon my plans of buying a separate CDP, and...

Thanks for the input so far, guys... Regarding the dedicated amp...it all depends on whether or not I can get an ex-display Linn Classik, rather than paying full price for a new unit. If I can, then it will free up some cash to either get a dedicated amp, or up the budget on the 'phones...

Hi, Long time lurker, first time poster. I need a bit of informed advice regarding suitable 'phones. I've narrowed the search down to three pairs, as follows: Beyer DT-990 (2006 version) Grado SR-125 Sennheiser HD595 At the moment, the decision has been made by good reviews, and...
