hi. has anyone tried the monarchy sm-70 with your akg k1000?
even thought the volume is good for my AKG K1000 headphones, the sound is extremely bright. Now, I dunno if that’s because of the headphones or the amp. Is it possible that connecting this amp to a 120ohm headphone could cause it to become brighter?—or is it more likely my headphones are simply that way? sometimes even when the volume is at a normal level, when the singer makes a “ssss” sound… or something like cymbals crash, the resulting sound actually hurts my ears… so, I’m not exaggerating
well, i know by most reviews here the akg k1000 is a little bright.... but is it really that bright?--or maybe it's the amp?
also... for those who have used the amp,... do you have buzzing problems? i mean... you would figure for an amp of this high quality and with so many incredible reviews, it should be dead silent. it's pure class A with no global feedback.... and it runs HOT HOT HOT. i mean, you could cook an egg on top of this thing. anyway.... it really shouldn't be buzzing right? i've changed outlets/filters/cables/positions/.... etc.... nothing helps. i even connected it with a cheater plug, disconnecting the ground.... i even turned off every electrical appliance in the house besides the fridge, and still nothing helps...
