Most probably!

Hahahaha! Thanks! Pretty funny considering I don't even live there any more! It was a great setup for listening, reading and relaxing, though. I don't think I have any decent pics of my setup at my new place.

The Grados are the DIY-modded HF-1s in my sig. They've seen a number of different cups but I always go back to the first pair I did out of mahogany.

Good to hear from you, hope you are doing well and getting ready for college. I prefer the sound of the K501 about +90% of the time over the K701. There is a sense of musicality and realism that make the K501 very appealing to me, more so after I had them re-cabled by Alex of APureSound.

@dfkt

don't switch your photo around for a more arty one and think we are not going to notice. That computer screen smells of set up.

Isn't that kind of the point of this thread?
If not, I better post some "voyeur" pics of my setup

you get away from your equipment right now you dirty dirty old man.

I am going to call the NSPCH (national society for the prevention of cruelty to headphones)

Yes, very well! I'm definitely going to have an updated post when I get settled, with my college-fi setup! I want to dive into AKGs at somepoint, although now that i'm college-fi, who knows when that will be!

I have seen some updates! More to come soon with my incoming Pico!

THe clear copper cable hanging is my custom FreQ cable with extension. The blue cable on the right is a secondary iPod-> Locking RCA cable. The amp is my Millet Min.

Millet Close-up + modded SE505's and recabled k400's.

Top: Audio Technica 701's from the 70's - nice soudning headphone once recabled! The Sennheisers on the bottom are my current beater phone while my FreQShow's are in Tampa getting repaired. Those HD202's have been recabled, cupped stuffed with fiberloft, and back of the drivers dampened. The stock woofiness is gone and highs are improved. I would say that these would be some of the best budget closed cans you can get, once modified. They improve much more than ksc-75's and don't have that sibilance.

IPOD DOCKS ANYONE? I did a lot of experimenting with materials and now have a full set of my favorite combo's. The best sounding one to me is something of my own creation (it is the all blue one - my favorite anywhere

). The Marantz CDP really adds a lot to the system. I have been buying a lot more CD's lately

Due to recently turning my computer into the ultimate media machine, I need to hold off on new purchases for at least a little bit.

Still, more is yet to come.

i'll post and update when i get my speakers

 

[fraseyboy]

Germania, what are those big pioneer headphones you've got? I think I've seen some on an online auction site...

Also, updated with K270 Playbacks:

I think 3 will have to be my limit for headphones as that's all my stand will carry

 

[-=Germania=-]

They are heavily modified Pioneer SE-505's

I removed all of the old pots, rewired the interiors, filled in gaps or resonant corners, and cotton stuffed the cups.

Much, Much better. Plus, much lighter as well. Still, they are heafty - but very isolating.


Also, no amp shots?

 

[itobito]

very nice set -=Germania=-

 

[yepyep_]

Not much to see.

What tower is that?

The side panel looks pretty similar to mine.... but it's not the same one. Is it one of them Thermaltakes?
