and to the wise *@( who replied with "use google" I say that I *did* use google (using the specific model in the search string...IE Klipsch x10 rewire and rewire *service*   as well as "cable rewire service*     and came up empty, other than one person "the cable surgeon, who seems...

The primary reason is that they have been cutting in and out, but the second reason(perhaps just as important) is that I use them heavily in the gym and desperately need them rewired with cable that is more durable.    Who offers this service?  I need this done fairly quickly as my X10s are...

this is listed as a collaborative playlist, so feel free to add tracks as you see fit.    thanks

the archive.org recordings are NOT binaural..   they are ORTF. big difference.  

While wife and fam and I are moving, I am stuck with my headphone rig(normally have a full size system) AKG 701s, Corda , woo, etc.. so.. what albums are especially great on cans?? Any and all suggestions welcome..just no rap , r and b or reggae..

thats easy! send pics of your room to Glenn Kuras along with the dimensions, what you hope to achieve, looks preferences, WAF concerns... they can do panels in any color..also have a new thing whereby they can silkscreen favorite prints/portraits/artwork onto the panels...

darn, that looks great.. it will sound great too, no doubt. i have the 96 and it is amazing.

or perhaps it was just your head got softer really though.... my 701s are very comfortable now. all fabric changes over time. very glad you are enjoying the fit now at any rate. they are great headphones.

they soften up...don't require any oil or surgery. just time. ive got 2 pairs of them and both were uncomfortable to start but feel great now...they form to the body like a good pair of jeans or underwear.

erm.. why not just use the audioengine one that is designed to work with those?

oh yeah..their email landaudio@comcast.net

they are one of the service hubs for AKG. sent my 701s in for repair, and had a invoice the day after Richard(Land, the company head) received them. Very good prices, Richard is a great, downhome guy(he is a southern man, after all , so that is to be expected. ) anyway.. if you...

I guess my ATC SCM20 ASLs dont qualify as decent. I don't intend on arguing with you as you seem to be rather young and somewhat green, so..i will close with this. Active amplifiers cannot be upgraded later to accommodate advancements in design. Users cannot mix and match/tailor the...

I won't comment on your assumptions other than to say i've worked in some of the best recording studios in Germany and the US, and have worked with and/or owned several of the most well-revered active models. My comment is based on many years of experience, and isn't based on emotion
