Google can be your friend. If that doesn't work for you just get em off the AKG site. So that you know the K3003 is priced at over a 1000 bones.

Okat. Your right. And I use to think my CLAS + Continental combo was a cheap mans rig.

Current rig. 


What Corda amp is that?
Why do they all look different?
Do you have problems with channel imbalance?
 
Thanks.
 
P.S.: Please apologise my rude manner of asking, but it is getting late and i am losing my ability to think straight.

I got the DT1350 from Moon Audio and wanted a very flexible cable so I ask if he could do the IEM Silver Dragon cable which is very different from his regular Silver Dragon Cable being a different gauge wire.  He provided it for me; of course, for a price.



Did you ever hear the 1350 stock or only with the upgraded cable?  What kind of changes did the cable make?  Thanks.

Just had a look on the AKG site at those 3003's.  Pretty nice piece of kit.  It took me ages to convince myself that JH16's were worth the price.  I am still trying to convince myself of the JH3a.  But for a 3 driver universal.....  this may take some convincing.  EUR1200 on their website.  Madness.  LCD3 or an iem?  Madness.....

Don't forget: From a audio-company which isn't really known for making "world-changing" iems....

I am looking for a US based retailer , preferably on-line, and I know of the price, as I hate customs and IE10 might never materialize.
