I like keyboards with feel to the keys. And ones you can use as a sledge hammer

I used to really like beefy keyboards like that, but I've taken a liking to the current Apple keyboards. I really like the feel and the discrete spacing between each key.

I also wound up with that small Apple Wireless Keyboard. I needed something compact. But it won't pass the sledgehammer test.

Anything happened to it?
Besides the fact that it take turns with the Signature 30.2. Currently resting away from dust...

The mess known as my computer/hifi setup in the attached pic. Sorry for the awful picture quality. I probably could have done much, much better I had spent some time with the settings... The camera was a Nikon D40 so there IS potential for a lot better pics.

My computer rig is nothing special but It's good enough for me (Well, almost. DDR3 memory and either dual core graphics or Crossfire wouldn't hurt...

I also NEED a second display to Google people's audio gear while browsing the forums on my main screen. Oh yeah, and Foobar on the second screen would be a must.

).

The exact specs - as if someone cared...:
AMD Phenom II 955BE overclocked to 210x17=3570MHz (Nortbridge at 2,31GHz and Hypertrasport @ 2,2GHz)
Kigston HyperX 4x1GB DDR2-800 overclocked to DDR2-1120, timings 5-5-5-15
Asus M4A78 Pro motherboard
Sapphire HD4870 graphics card overclocked to 800MHz (core)/900 MHz (memory)
Audio: please see signature
Operating system: Windows 7 pre-release (yes, it seems to be surprising stable for an RC...)

Lousy overclocks on the processor, I know. This mobo is holding me back.

And on the audio side, say hello to my few weeks old Beresford TC-7520 and my less than two days old K601's. The new 'phones have about 20 hours of burn-in so far. You probably think I'm crasy now when I say this but the 'phones I had before those K601's were K701's. I just feel 601's sound more neutral and, I could even say, more transparent. The feeling of transparency is probably just because of the flatter frequecy response. This has puzzled me for a long time: why would a higher-end model (K701) have a less neutral frequency response? During my 8 or so months using the 701's I could't find anything positive about the not-so-neutral frequency response.

Whoops, it seems like this became quite a monster for a post. And this is a picture thread after all.

Just try to bear with me.

Anyway, the pic's down there as an attachment.

So is Deck . . . which is what I use myself.

Welcome to the club, I couldn't figure this out either.

I guess it's because the K701 & K702 seem to have production in mind where K601 is 100% consumer model. Either that or AKG was trying to appeal to the false detail market ala Grado (make that sound "sparkly!"). Who knows, but in the end I think a lot of head-fi agrees it was a bad decision and assumed they should skip over the K601. I must say I'm glad I didn't though, wouldn't change them for the world

Close to an ideal minimal setup IMO. Very nice.

I haven't used a screensaver for a long time! I'll turn it on now, this one is really nice and useful.

BTW, nice knifes, Rambo!
