Charlie, just calm down and eat some fruit... I don't know if someone smuggled crack in your K1000s, but you just bumped a four year old thread.
 
But in all seriousness, congratulations on your purchase and hopefully I'll make it out to a GTA gathering sometime to steal a listen from them!

Come on, let him have some fun!

There's a fair chance that Charile will be too engrossed to spend much time posting for awhile!

I haven't been able to find the serial number on mine..
I have a sticker that says "PRODUCTION SPECIMEN" which may not be resold  and is not waranted by AKG..
Do I need to worry ?

LOL. I keep reading GTA as Grand Theft Auto instead of Greater Toronto Area. Oh well... Congrats, Charlie, btw.

OK, this is an OLD thread and a very dead old thread. I'm bringing it back to life because of the title. "AKG K1000" was taken. I'd like to start a thread for K1K owners and other head-fier who have questions about these phones.
 
I recently purchased a K1K, ( bass heavy) from another Head-Fier. I'd listened to them at meets and liked the sound very much. I've been watching the "FS" forum for quite a while and finely found a pair. I've owned a lot of phones (see my profile), but  my "go to" phones have always been my RS-1. Not any more, the K1000 has take over. I'm just not sure where my RS-1 and D7000 are right now in my lineup, I don't listening to either very much, I check them out and go back to the K1K. I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket but the K1000 is just the best phone I own.
My K1K is balanced with the original cable and is powered by a Woo 22>DacMagic>Pacific Valve CDM12.
 
With all this said I'd like other AKG K1000 owners to post, , where do they stand in your line-up?

Very interested in these cans for a long time. Wish I could get a chance to hear a pair in my area
 
Been trying to read a lot about them, but information is scattered across different threads. Thumbs up to your idea

 

[fatcat28037]

Elwappo99, get to one of the LA area meets, I'm sure you'll hear not only the K1K but a lot of other very impressive phones.

Missed the venice one because I went home,  seems like they are impossibly hard to come by for us So Cal people

My bass heavy pair made such an impression on me that I went and got a pair of bass light to keep them company.
 
I now do not even consider other phones.

I bought a pair of Brand New AKG K1000's about five weeks ago from eBay. Yes! brand New! They were a pair of New/Mint K1000 Bass Heavy with all cables and enclosures. The only thing that was wrong - which is a minor issue - is that the foam in the box had dried and crumbled. A small price to pay! How do they sound? Well, I have only had the opportunity to wire them into the back of my Brennan HDD CD Recorder and they sound amazing! What will happen when I get my conversion cable to go to single ended from XLR then into my Burson I just don't know? I am expecting wonderous things! It really is a new experience using these as they are unique. I'll post an update soon on the Burson sound. Enjoy your K1000's!

I did some A-Bing last night and went through some of my phones - my Senn 580/600/650 and Grado HF-1 and HF-2 and even some of my Stax
such as my 404LE, and when I got to my K 1000's there was no comparison, they are definitely my most loved headphones and are here to stay!

There is the K1000 owners club but has been inactive lately.

^^ That's what I was looking for. I wonder why my Search didn't turn that one up.
