Well I blew my Grado's a while back as a result of an unexpected dc surge from a misbehaving BUF634 and have been on the fence for some time. I had actually decided on the K271's until I googled AKG and discovered the K501's @ $99??!! I left it thinking that I would investigate these cans more closely and while reading this thread this evening, I placed my order - post #145 ( I can't say it was all you VR6ofpain ) but your indecision and final purchase sure did drive a point home
I used to own the HD580-xcan set up and although always enjoyed them, never got particularly excited about them. I also have a real good reason to get decent headphones now - I recently built 2 amps, the SOHA which is creating quite a buzz on Headwize and the Cavalli-Kumisa III which really should be making a stir as it is the better amp by far. Just wanted to thank all of you K501 luvers for making this such an easy (and enjoyable) decision for me - the fact that it was less than a $100 was a pleasant bonus too..dB
