They should be in sometime this week. Can't wait!
 
OTOH, do you guys recommend recabling them? IF so, what would be the best cable under $50 if I do it myself?
 
And also, how would they pair with a Lovely Cube?
 
Thanks guys!

Anyone know how to open the K241? I burnt out a driver. Can it be replaced?
 

 

[tmblack]

Are they any instructions or pictures for a newbie to take the K240 apart?

Good luck.

Hey guys,
 
I received my Sextetts yesterday and upon checking them out I'm confused as to what version they are.
 
The front of the radiators are light with a slight red tint on the edges while the rear is all red. So I thought they were MP. Then I checked out the gril and fro mthe photo guide, it is the EP grill. Does anyone have a clue which version it really is? Referring to the photo guide, it seems it could be either.

The grill doesn't matter, it's the radiators that affect the sound

Sounds like a MP to me.  Do you mean the grill the protects the front of the driver and the passive radiators from being damaged by your ear?  If so that doesn't make a difference in what version it is.  Could of been left overs they needed to get rid of, so they used it.  It's like the headband with holes in it, it can be deceiving.  Far as I know the passive radiators would have to be red-ish orange for it to be an EP.

I see. How much difference it is between the EP and MP as long as sound is concerned?
 
Also, do you guys recommend recabling the pair? I was thinking Cardas 4x24 or Fitz's BC...

Reportedly, the bass decreases a bit as you move from EP->MP->LP. I have the MP and LP and it's really hard to tell the difference... it's tiny enough that it might be placebo.

I agree.  I have 1 EP, 2 MP's (one each different grills), and 1 LP.
 
The one "magical" MP I have differs more than the EP, other MP, and LP differ between them.  The "magical" MP has the "earlier" grill.  The flat side is in towards the drivers, the rounded edges are out towards the ears.

Kevin, I'm not really understanding what you're reffering to for the "magical" MP. Is the earlier grill the left grill in the pic. below?

 The magical pair of mine has the grill on the right.  But it's not just the grill.  My EP pair also has that grill.  There is just something "different" with the one MP pair I have.  All the others, the EP, the other MP, and the LP all sound very similar.  Pretty darn good.  But the magical MP pair has enough bass to satisfy me (unlike the other 4) and fantastic mids and highs too.
 
That's why I don't believe the common belief that bass decreases from EP to MP to LP.  The one MP pair I have has more bass than the other 4 I have.

I don't think it's the grill though, my favorite pair sounded equally better than others when I replaced it with speaker cloth. 

 

[JiggaD369]

So much mysteriousness surrounding these headphone! lol
 
Could it be that it not the grill but something else such as the drivers? Or maybe something as simple as the pads effecting the sound?

Hey rhythmdevils: Just for kicks, what is "different" about your magic pair vs the others you've listened to?
