Headphoneus Supremus
It has been awhile since I have spent time at HeadFi and sadly I'm here to part with a longtime friend - my K1000 (and the FirstWatt F1).
The K1000 includes the original manual, the natural wooden box (and the custom AKG-labelled outer box) and an extra lead made by BlueJeansCable for me.
The FirstWatt F1 really is my favorite amplifier for the K1000 and I used to own several tube amps and the Pass Labs Aleph 30 - the F1 was my favorite. Nelson Pass has posted a process for upgrading the MOSFETs to JFETs if one is an enterprising modder. That should only improve the sound further.
I can post photos soon, and everything sounds good to me. I might entertain selling the duo to separate individuals but I prefer to sell the combo. I will ship everything via FedEx with insurance.
Why am I selling? As a new father I realized I haven't listening to any of my open headphones in a long time, so I will probably have others for sale as well.
