It takes 50 hours of break-in for my headphone amplifier and the tube pre-amplifier to break...
The difference is audibly astounding ...
In the active speakers for the tube pre-amp Douk P2... In the K240 for the headphone amplifier Fosi sk01 and the tube pre-amplifier ...
It seems to me there is two revolution in audio now ...
Very affordable audio component at peanuts cost they are not junk at all ...
And the BACCH filters of Dr. Choueiri ...
The K240 i like it a lot....I cannot go back to any others i own ... Even if with the K240 the soundfield stay in the head and the timbre is less realistic, the impression of holography is there ...
I upgrade each time i want with the K340 for sacred listenings sessions eyes open in the dark to "see" the musicians ...Forever unbeatable ... No other company will design a tuned grid of resonators...Too cumbersome in the shell and to costly to do it right and anyway too impactful on the profit margin.... Most people thing that a singular membrane is enough ... Not me after all my trials and errors... Shell acoustic also matter ...
Think about that, so advanced is driver design nowadays , it is always one membrane , planar or dynamic or electrostatic ...No shell refined acoustic ... And some say the K340 is outclassed... For too much details on the edge with no 3-D impression ? for a bigger soundstage but always FIXED in the head ? For a more artificial timbre in many case ... Thanks i will die with these two akg it seems... Propose me something else ...
No one did it really convincingly after comparison with the K340 ... Anyway the K340 is so hard to optimize how any reviews can be trusted ? ... it takes me so much time to figure out how to drive it i will wait no more for an alternative in comparison reviews... There is too much differences between the K340 right out of a box and optimized...See the review of Stereophile which describe another K340 than mine optimized ...
