    Comparison between Stax 4070 and AKG K-1000s

    I'm hoping someone can provide a comparison between the 4070s and Omega IIs - I can imagine a lot of people who would consider one would also consider the other (fairly close in price, roughly cut from the same cloth in terms of the foundation of their sonic signature, requiring about the same...

    Received a pair of Stax 4070s tonight

    I'd been thinking of getting the Omega II headphones, and then saw some posts about the 4070s, and I was really curious to try them out. I called up Elusive disk (in USA) and they said the distributer had a pair on hand and could drop ship them to me. I was really surprised there was a pair...

    Careful plugging AKG K1000s into speaker taps on amp

    Last night I plugged the headphone cable for AKG K-1000s into the extension piece while my amp was on, and it blew the fuse in the amp. I keep the extension piece connected to the amp's speaker taps and I unplug the headphones from that when I put them away. From now on I will make sure to...

    Testing DC offset on Amp (K1000/T-Amp)

    I've seen some posts discussing the T-Amp and DC offset issues, which could lead to unhappy headphones. I've got a Super T-Amp waiting patiently for some K1000s, and don't want to fry the headphones if I have any issues with the amp. I haven't done any electronics testing in a long time, so...

    Stax 3030 can rock, many comments complete with tangents galore

    Someone made a great comment in a recent post where the sound of various headphones was being disputed. Paraphrasing, it was basically a plea to point out what's good about headphones you like, instead of crapping on headphones you don't like. I still think it is worthwhile to voice all...

    Old posts from Headwize?

    Hey everyone - just found out about this forum when I was surfing Headwize. I saw some references to the archives on Headwize being down or lost, and I've noticed many old Headwizers on this board. Anyway, I saved some posts I had made to Headwize, a few reviews of headphones and amps...

    New Crystal Method Tweekend is big fun

    I just picked up the new Crystal method (Tweekend) and have really been digging it. It is a big techno hard hitting CD that likes to be played loud. For those familiar with their previous CD, this one seems to start where that left off and add a lot more in terms of different sounds. There...
